Australian universities eye Vietnamese market
Many Australian universities are sounding out cooperation opportunities in Vietnam, heard a conference on the Vietnam – Australia Higher Education Partnerships 2023 held by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday.
The conference was attended by some 55 Australian and Vietnamese universities, and local workforce training associations.
Regina Milanes from the Central Queensland University in Australia told the conference that the university saw Vietnam as a potential market.
The university is seeking partners in Vietnam to implement new educational programs, she noted.
Similarly, Suhail Seth, director of business development at the Australian Academy of Business and Technology, said that the academy was carefully finding partners in Vietnam.
University partners should meet requirements on teaching quality, equipment and students’ competence.
Speaking of cooperation opportunities, Hugo Nguyen, a Vietnamese representative of the University of Technology in Sydney, said that Australian universities might tap various fields, including technology transfer, in Vietnam.
Apart from the collaboration with educational institutions, they can partner with Vietnamese agencies and firms, Nguyen added.

Discussing students’ skills after their university graduation, Le Thi Kim Anh, vice president of the Vietnam Human Resources Association (VNHR), said that many enterprises have been connecting with universities through multiple experience-sharing and career placement programs to select the best candidates.
However, the efficiency was not higher than expected.
“Some companies said that they accessed 800 students, but recruited a mere eight among them,” said Kim Anh.
VNHR is following a new solution to boost the effectiveness in recruitment by partnering with multiple universities.
The association will pick 30 best students majoring in human resources. These students will attend some training sessions led by human resources experts.
Its member enterprises can find the most suitable candidates on the shortlist of 10, she explained.

Few students visit schools’ career orientation rooms
Eliza Chui, a representative of Austrade, said that students rarely visit their schools’ career orientation rooms, which act as a place allowing students to consult career experts to plan their future career before their university period.
However, Chui cited some surveys as saying that most students did not know the existence of the room.

Thirty schoolchildren in Ho Chi Minh City who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic ignited their summer holiday by visiting cultural and historic destinations during a city tour on Wednesday.
They are elementary and middle school students in both inner-city and outlying districts in the southern metropolis.
The kids, who lost one or both of their parents to the pandemic, visited ‘Biet Dong Sai Gon’ (Saigon Rangers) Museum, located on the second floor of a house built in 1963 on Tran Quang Khai Street, District 1, and explored the Reunification Palace, among others.
They also had opportunities to make new friends, play games with each other, and receive gifts.
As these kids are from different groups of age and living in disadvantaged conditions, the tour organizer, including Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper and the travel firm Vietluxtour, had made thorough preparations to ensure they could feel relaxed after the end of a school year and fully enjoy the tour.
One of the participants, Bui Thi Ngoc Phuong, residing in District 8, said: “I had so much fun today because I learned lots of interesting things and made new friends.”
Some kids showed their excitement when exploring secret tunnels serving as old revolutionary bases in wartime.
Ly Doan Tam, a student from Binh Tan District who described the tour as his first trip ever, said he wanted to visit all tourist attractions in Vietnam.
The organizer hoped that the trip could encourage the kids to express themselves more and share their feelings with others, in order to partly help them overcome their difficulties.
The organizer added that they would arrange similar trips for COVID-affected children in the upcoming time, with each having some 30 participants.
