On the afternoon of September 8, 2026, the Faculty of Economics and Agriculture at Kien Giang College (KGC), in collaboration with Hồng Lĩnh Private Enterprise, successfully organized an exchange program titled "Enterprise Connection - Career Orientation for Students." Held from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM, the event attracted 190 students across various disciplines, including Accounting, Business Administration, Veterinary Services, Aquaculture, Plant Protection, and Food Technology.
This initiative is part of an ongoing series of university-industry collaboration activities designed to bridge academic theory with real-world professional practice. Through the program, students gained direct exposure to the corporate environment, receiving valuable insights regarding labor market trends, recruitment requirements, and essential career skills.
Key attendees included Ms. Trần Thị Thương Huyền, Deputy Director of Hồng Lĩnh Private Enterprise; Mr. Tống Văn Thắng, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Agriculture; Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thiếu, Vice Dean; alongside faculty members and students.
During the session, representatives from Hồng Lĩnh Private Enterprise provided practical information on business operations, employment demands, and key competencies sought in young talent. The interactive format allowed students to discuss job prospects, interview preparation, common workplace challenges, and core professional skills—ranging from communication and teamwork to problem-solving, adaptability, and workplace ethics.
Businesses Partnering with Students on Their Career Journeys
As the labor market places increasingly high demands on the workforce, strengthening the connection between educational institutions and businesses is crucial for training personnel who meet practical needs.
Through these exchange programs, students gain valuable insights from business representatives regarding real-world work environments, recruitment criteria, professional skills, and the essential competencies young workers need to cultivate before entering the job market. Centered on the theme "Connecting Businesses – Career Orientation for Students," the program not only provides useful information about employment opportunities but also helps students better understand the link between their academic studies and the practical requirements of the business world.
Diverse Careers – A Shared Professional Foundation
A key highlight of the program was the creation of a space where students could ask questions, listen, engage in dialogue, and receive guidance from a corporate perspective.
Discussions covering job opportunities, expectations for recent graduates, essential interview skills, and common shortcomings students face when entering the workforce fostered an open and practical atmosphere. Through these exchanges, students gained a clearer understanding of the competencies they need to cultivate while still in school—ranging from specialized knowledge to communication, teamwork, problem-solving, professional demeanor, proactivity, responsibility, and adaptability to changing work environments.
This aligns with the educational philosophy of the Faculty of Agricultural Economics: bridging theory and practice, aligning training with business needs, and prioritizing the development of students' professional competencies.
Strengthening University-Industry Collaboration
Speaking at the event, a representative from Hong Linh Private Enterprise provided students with practical insights and information, helping them better understand the corporate environment and the expectations placed on young talent.
Active corporate involvement—through networking events, field trips, internships, and recruitment activities—not only offers students valuable professional experiences but also enables the university to stay abreast of labor market demands and progressively enhance the quality of education. For the Faculty of Economics and Agriculture, organizing business-linkage activities is a key strategy to strengthen cooperation between the institution and the corporate sector, thereby creating an environment where students can engage in practical learning, gain early exposure to the profession, and better prepare for their future careers after graduation.
Preparing Today for Tomorrow’s Career
Although the exchange session has concluded, the stories, insights, and career-related questions shared will undoubtedly continue to resonate with students long after the event. For every student, the career journey does not begin on graduation day; rather, it takes shape through the learning, personal development, and practical experiences they engage in right now.
The "Connecting Businesses – Career Orientation for Students" event was more than just a simple exchange; it served as a vital bridge, fostering mutual understanding among the university, businesses, and students, while helping students gain greater clarity regarding their own career paths.
Through practical initiatives like this exchange with Hong Linh Private Enterprise, the Faculty of Economics and Agriculture reaffirms its commitment to a practice-oriented curriculum, the enhancement of professional experiences, and steadfast support for students throughout their academic, entrepreneurial, and career development journeys.
