Project Acceptance: Internship and Job Search Support System for UEF Students

05/03/2026

In an increasingly competitive job market, newly graduated students not only face demands for professional knowledge but also need to quickly adapt to the real working environment. However, the gap between education and practice is still a major challenge, which requires support from many sides so that students can be better prepared when entering the job market.

In response to this situation, Mr. Hoang Van Hieu (MSc.), a lecturer of the UEF Faculty of Information Technology, carried out the scientific research project “Building a system to support graduation internships and job searching at UEF” to create an effective connection between students, the university, and businesses. The project was successfully accepted on the afternoon of February 28 by a council chaired by Dr. Nguyen Ha Giang, Head of the Faculty of Information Technology. The reviewers were Dr. Nhan Cam Tri, Vice President, and Dr. Van Thi Thien Trang, Vice Head of the Faculty of Information Technology, together with other council members.

The unemployment rate among working-age people in Vietnam is currently around 2.3%. However, underemployment is increasing. In particular, newly graduated students often have difficulties finding a job because they lack real-world experience and do not have an effective way to approach employers. In this context, the strong growth of the Internet and online recruitment platforms creates many opportunities to connect businesses with workers. However, these platforms still have limitations: they do not personalize the experience for students and do not build a close connection with the training environment. From this practical need, the research team built a job-search support system to connect students, the university, and businesses, helping UEF students access job opportunities while they are still studying.

Mr. Hoang Van Hieu (MSc.) presented the research project to the council.

The system is designed with many user-support features, including the student application process, the company hiring confirmation process, the lecturer recruitment management process, and the administrator account management process. With an intuitive and user-friendly interface, the system helps students operate easily, allows companies to post job openings conveniently, and enables lecturers to track students’ internship progress effectively.

After real-world testing, the system proved to be feasible, with clear advantages such as a friendly, easy-to-use interface, a well-rounded user experience, content suitable for students, and stable performance. The acceptance council highly appreciated the research team’s efforts and stated that the project has strong practical value. The council also gave some suggestions to further improve the system before it is widely applied at UEF.

The research and successful implementation of this system not only helps students access jobs more easily, but also improves training quality and strengthens cooperation between the university and businesses. This will be an important step forward, making it easier for UEF students to enter the job market.
