03/12/2025

In the era of Industry 4.0, Learning and Development (L&D) is no longer merely a component of corporate strategy but has become a decisive factor for organizational sustainability and growth. To help students gain practical exposure and deeper understanding in this field, on the evening of March 11th, the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) organized a thematic seminar for the Human Resource Management course titled “Trends in Learning and Development (L&D) in Enterprises in the Industry 4.0 Era”.

FBA students broaden their perspectives on training and human resource development

Accompanying UEFers in the program was Mr. Tran The Trung - L&D Manager at Nutifood, Executive Partner at Go Global Holdings, and a member of the Executive Board of the Vietnam Franchise and Licensing Network.

The seminar focused on two key aspects: the role of L&D in enterprises and the foundations of workforce capability development. Drawing from his practical experience, the speaker helped students visualize the employee journey—from recruitment and onboarding to performance, learning, development, and eventual contribution or separation from the organization.

According to the speaker, “Human resources are a depreciating asset of an enterprise.” Therefore, training and development not only benefit individuals but also enhance a company’s competitiveness. When employees are given opportunities to learn and grow, they tend to be more engaged and contribute more effectively to the organization.

Mr. Tran The Trung also analyzed current challenges in corporate training systems, particularly the tendency toward content storage rather than interactive, job-related learning. This limitation often reduces employees’ motivation to learn and develop.

In addition, he introduced the concept of “Learning in the Flow of Work,” which enables employees to learn effectively while working. To illustrate this approach, the speaker provided practical examples such as talent management, personal development planning, and both vertical and horizontal learning models within organizations.

UEFers actively engage and interact with the speaker throughout the session

Throughout the seminar, students not only acquired knowledge but also had the opportunity to interact, ask questions, and receive practical insights from the expert. This reflects UEF’s educational orientation—enabling students to learn not only from textbooks but also from “enterprise mentors,” thereby accessing real-world strategies and mindsets while still at university. At UEF, continuous collaboration with industry experts provides students with valuable opportunities to enhance their competencies and prepare for integration into professional working environments after graduation. The seminar not only broadened FBA students’ perspectives on training and human resource development but also inspired them to build a solid foundation for their future careers.
