Vietnamese Youth Alliance in Singapore holds online career workshop
More than 600 Vietnamese students from 13 countries worldwide participated in an online career workshop held by the Vietnamese Youth Alliance in Singapore (VNYA) on July 24-25.
VNYA 2021 Career Fair also brought together representatives from a number of corporations such as P&G Vietnam, Shopee Vietnam and VNG Corporation.
With the support of the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore, the association had spent two months preparing for the event that aims to provide Vietnamese students and alumni in Singapore and other countries an insight into the future work environment amidst the impact of COVID-19.
Representatives from the corporations talked about recruitment trends and programmes to lure talents, and shared experience in job application.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Mai Phuoc Dung lauded the association’s initiative to organise the online workshop in the context of the pandemic.
Vietnam should learn from Singapore’s experience in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital transformation and economy, bio-technology and financial technology, he suggested.
According to VNYA President Nguyen Thao Nhi, this is the first-ever online event hosted by the association, saying the participation of the Vietnamese students and alumni has served as a source of encouragement for the association to organise similar events in the time ahead.
