A highlight of the training program was the sharing session by ethnic minority alumni of Nha Trang University, who talked about their personal success stories after graduation, the challenges and difficulties they had encountered, as well as the opportunities and advantages they experienced when entering the labor market.
The alumni also offered practical and useful advice to current ethnic minority students at the university, helping them gain additional motivation and develop clearer career orientations for their future after graduation.
For Thai Nguyen University, participation in the training program under the EMSIV Project provided an important opportunity to exchange experiences and gain insights into advanced support models for ethnic minority students implemented by higher education institutions in Vietnam and abroad.
Through discussion sessions, thematic presentations, and practical experience sharing, the Thai Nguyen University delegation gained updated knowledge of effective approaches to career counseling, employment support, entrepreneurship, and skills development for ethnic minority students.
