UEF Launches "My Job - My Future" to Help Students Explore Careers

21/07/2026

Faced with the rapid changes in the labor market and the robust development of artificial intelligence (AI), choosing a major must be based not only on personal interests but also tied to an understanding of professions and future development trends.

With the desire to accompany high school students in building an early career orientation foundation, on the morning of July 17, UEF organized the first activity in the "My Job - My Future" career choice skill training series at Le Quy Don High School (Tan Mai, Dong Nai Province), attracting the participation of nearly 250 students.

Students were excited to become "candidates" in a mock recruitment session for a large-scale event organization crew.

The program is designed to help students identify careers through practical situations, clearly understanding what role each major will play in a business or organization, what knowledge and skills need to be equipped, and what the development prospects are. This is also a way for students to connect their personal interests with labor market demands before making a decision on choosing a major.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Quyen - Vice Principal of Le Quy Don High School, commented that the activity creates practical value for students early on.

A prominent highlight of the program was its creative implementation approach, where representatives of faculties and majors built their sharing content based on a hypothetical situation inspired by the show "Brother Who Overcomes a Thousand Thorns" (ATVNCG). In the context of a large-scale concert seeking human resources to organize and operate the show, each sector systematically introduced the necessary job positions, corresponding expertise, required skills, specific tasks, as well as expected income. Through this, students gained a more comprehensive view of each profession rather than merely approaching it from a theoretical standpoint.

UEF teachers introducing majors vividly by role-playing as team leaders of various departments in the ATVNCG production process.

During the program, students learned specifics about majors such as Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Commercial Business, Marketing, Event Management, Digital Marketing, International Business, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Real Estate, International Economics, Digital Economy, Accounting, Auditing, Finance - Banking, International Finance, Financial Technology, Hotel Management, Restaurant and Catering Management, Tourism and Travel Service Management, and E-commerce.

Besides introducing the professions, the lecturers also focused on analyzing the picture of the current and future labor market, the professions with high human resource demand, the changes in the working environment under the impact of AI, as well as the competencies that the student generation needs to prepare to enhance their competitiveness.

From professional skills, problem-solving mindsets, and creative abilities to the capacity to apply technology and AI, all were integrated into relatable career stories, helping students understand that the most important factor is not just choosing the right major, but also preparing the right competencies.

Approaching careers based on practical situations helps students easily visualize the future picture.

To increase the experiential aspect, the program was implemented simultaneously in 6 rooms covering the fields of Administration, Economics, Finance - Accounting, Information Technology, Services, and Marketing. Interspersed with the lecturers' sharing were group discussion activities, problem-solving, presentations, and idea exchanges. This model created conditions for students to proactively participate, ask questions, debate, and directly apply their thinking to near-reality professional situations.

The creative and attractive implementation format drew enthusiastic participation from the students.

As the opening activity for the "My Job - My Future" series, the program continues to affirm UEF's orientation in accompanying high school students to build proper awareness about careers, connecting knowledge with reality, and helping them gain more preparation to confidently choose a major that suits their abilities, passions, as well as the future development demands of the labor market.
