On the morning of October 28, 2024, National Economics University (NEU), in collaboration with Ernst & Young Vietnam Limited (EY Vietnam), organized the seminar \u201cShaping the Future: Learn, Adapt, Lead\u201d<\/em>, attracting nearly 1,000 NEU students.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

An overview of the program<\/em><\/p>\n

Attending the program from outside the University were Tran Phu Son, General Director, EY Vietnam; and Nguyen Viet Long, Deputy General Director, Consulting, EY Vietnam. Representing NEU was Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Duc Tho, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chair of the University Council.<\/p>\n

Representing three roles\u2014educator, employer, and consultant\u2014the speakers discussed the factors driving shifts in job requirements globally and in Vietnam, offering recommendations on teaching and learning, soft skills, and networking to prepare for the future of work.<\/p>\n

The program also featured three NEU alumni currently working at EY Vietnam who have achieved early career success. The three guests shared fresh insights with students into making a successful transition from university learning to a professional work environment.<\/p>\n

Discussing teaching and learning in the new employment landscape at the seminar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Duc Tho, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chair of the University Council at NEU, said that the University is working toward an approach to education with three levels: understanding, application, and the ability to analyze and evaluate.<\/p>\n

Learning well means not only remembering what instructors have taught but also understanding it, always asking why, and asking yourself whether you have understood and how things will unfold in practice. Self-reflection helps us gain a deeper understanding of the essence of an issue.<\/p>\n

Students should not hesitate to ask their peers or instructors when something is unclear or they do not understand. A university is a very safe place for students to make mistakes and experience failure. These are opportunities for self-improvement. Making mistakes only after graduation can come at a very high cost. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Duc Tho therefore recommended that students focus on lectures, read course materials, and learn to understand the essence of issues, so they can relate them to practice and analyze and evaluate them.<\/p>\n

The University also provides favorable conditions for students to develop their skills. Skills cannot be acquired simply by reading books and textbooks; they require hands-on experience. Instructors can provide some support with skills such as presentations and teamwork. However, students still need to learn many other skills to prepare for the future. \u201cGive it your all, do everything you can without calculating what you will get in return, and you will find yourself growing without even realizing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Duc Tho, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chair of the University Council at NEU; Tran Phu Son, General Director, EY Vietnam; and Nguyen Viet Long, Deputy General Director, Consulting, EY Vietnam, share their perspectives at the seminar.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the seminar, Nguyen Viet Long, Deputy General Director, Consulting, Ernst & Young Vietnam Limited, discussed the factors that prepare workers to enter the labor market. He explained that the path to developing competencies for career success takes different forms at different levels.<\/p>\n

For new employees, professional competence plays an important role, accounting for 70\u201380% of success at work. However, as employees advance to higher positions, such as middle and senior management, behavioral competencies become increasingly important. Leaders are people with very strong behavioral competencies.<\/p>\n

According to an EY survey of a large enterprise in Vietnam with more than 20,000 employees, the behavioral competencies the enterprise requires of its employees begin with a sense of responsibility toward their work, followed in order by analytical thinking and execution ability; creativity at work; leadership ability; communication skills; computer skills; and foreign language skills\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is one message I would like to share with you: once you choose a major, stay committed to it and study it in depth. Do not let peer pressure lead you to switch because something else seems better. For example, five years ago, graduates were very keen to work in marketing for real estate and securities companies. But during the recent market downturn, many employees had to leave their jobs and accept change.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, we will see many occupations that appear glamorous. For example, three to four years ago, people rushed to study data. Over the past two years, data specialists have been facing unemployment because there are already enough of them. In Vietnam, three years ago, IT workers were in high demand and earned high salaries. But now many IT workers are unemployed.<\/p>\n

I believe we should not rush to follow trends. Be confident, stay committed, and pursue your chosen path in depth to become a professional,\u201d Nguyen Viet Long said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speakers share their perspectives at the seminar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Participants at the seminar strongly agreed that we are living in a constantly changing world. Technological breakthroughs and legal requirements are transforming the job market, the definition of work, and the qualities workers need.<\/p>\n

The World Economic Forum\u2019s 2023 report on the future of jobs (Future of Jobs Report 2023<\/a>) forecasts that 23% of jobs will change by 2027 and approximately 14 million jobs will be lost.<\/p>\n

The EY 2024 Work Reimagined Survey (tentatively translated as EY\u2019s 2024 survey on reimagining work), conducted in 23 countries worldwide, also shows that views of careers, work, and the workplace have changed considerably from earlier perceptions.<\/p>\n

This reality calls for changes in both teaching and learning within universities, as well as the development of appropriate skills to adapt to the new demands of the labor market.<\/p>\n
