VinUniversity Career Readiness – Student’s pathway to success

Following the Convocation Ceremony, VinUniversity continued to host a “Career Readiness” rountable discussion, with the participation of parents of VinUniversity 2nd to 4th year students.

Representatives from major corporations like Ernst & Young and Corning highly valued the confidence, knowledge, and skills of VinUniversity students in real-world situations. They also encouraged students to actively participate in driving innovation and business development.

VinUniversity’s Provost, Professor David Bangsberg, shared about the three career paths that students can pursue after graduation, namely, working in corporates, researches, or startups. It can be affirmed that VinUniversity has put its utmost effort into preparing students for these paths over the past three years.
