As the success of
most businesses results from the hard work and creativity of its employees, companies
always pay high-quality staff well. However, it is difficult for companies to
find high-quality workers. Many graduates have not been well-qualified. On
August 16th, DTU held the first Business Relationship Committee
Conference.
Distinguished teacher Le Cong Co addresses the
conference
Mr. Nguyen Quang Thanh, General Director of the Software
Technology Company said: “At present,
human resources cannot meet the needs of the Information Technology industry.
Students cannot find jobs because of intense competition among software
companies seeking good people. Consequently, universities need to focus on
improving the education of foreign languages and soft skills. They should
develop new teaching methods and research and teach key topics relevant to the
industry such as Financial Software
and e-Government, to be implemented by 2020. They should also forge strong
relationships with local companies to help students find jobs more easily.”
Mr. Huynh Tan Vinh, long-time General Director of the Furama
Resort in Danang, really understands the problems recruiting good
candidates. He said: "Many
graduate students who majored in Hotel Management are just given simple jobs,
such as opening lift doors for guests and pruning trees. So they don’t gain any
experiences from their internships. Hotels and resorts are being constructed
faster than ever in Danang, so, three years from now, 20.000 new employees will
be required. However, universities will only be able to supply about 20% of
these. More than ever, the connection between universities and businesses
becomes vital. Universities must have programs
to satisfy the job market and, meanwhile, companies must supply recruiting information
and job requirements to universities, so that students can learn from practice and
find job more easily when they graduate.”
Mr. Huynh Tan Vinh, General Director of the Furama
Resort addresses the conference
Mr. Nguyen Phu Tan, Director of the Truong Hai Auto
Company explained his recruitment criteria for new graduate students. One of considerations
for employing staff in key positions is their academic record.
Consequently, in the training process, DTU needs to be known by local businesses
a university which is improving teaching methods, teaching presentation skills,
training students how to apply for jobs, sharing experiences with them and
always listening to the needs of local business.
The first Business Relationship Committee Conference
was an interesting one. Businesses shared information about their development
processes, introduced their products and formed relationships with DTU to
research and develop new products. There were many funny lessons about the
development garbage trucks and water pumps over the past 100 years at the An
Sinh Xanh company and how new technology and attracting good employees helped the
Rang Dong Light Source And Vacuum Flask Company to grow fast. There were also valuable
ideas about how to improve the standard of education and research at DTU,
according to its slogan “We Do Everything
for Student Rights and Their Future Careers.”
