In particular, among them, 75% are paid, which proves the quality of USTH’s training.
During the opening speech, Dr. Nguyen Hai Dang, USTH Vice Rector expressed his hope that through the Internship Day, USTH would promote and expand the collaboration with partners in Vietnam and abroad, thus bring more internship opportunities and career prospects for the students.
Attending the event, students were instructed in detail what to do before, during and after the internship, interview skills or how to prepare administrative procedures. In addition, USTH alumni also attended the event to share their experiences and memorable stories from their foreign internships. Especially, with the presence of representatives from many companies and businesses such as Vietnam Airlines, Topica, Vmodev, 103 Military Hospital and NAL Vietnam JSC, USTH students had the opportunity to participate in face-to-face interviews and apply for an internship position right at the event.
Furthermore, students having passion for research also found useful information at the Internship Day. Professors and scientists from prestigious universities and research institutions such as Paris Diderot University, Yang-Ming National University, Institute of Research for Development gave students advices on how to identify the field of research and internship topic, which made the internship valuable for their future research and career path. Not only for senior students, the information also seemed important for first-year and second-year students, helping them to find their research orientation, from which they can plan personal profiles.
Dr. Can Van Mao (103 Military Hospital) and Prof. Francois Sabot (Institute of Research for Development, France) gave students useful advices for their internship.
One of the parents attending the event, Mrs Dang Bich Thuy expressed her strong impression about the Internship Day: “The event helped me to clear up my concerns about the upcoming internship of my son, especially when he chose to become intern in an international organization. I really hope that USTH will continue to organize such interesting and meaningful events like the Internship Day, so that parents can get a better understanding of their children’s university life. ”
