The talk show attracted a large number of students from the DTU SouthStar Management Institute

Anh Vo Van Phuc Quy, Deputy Director of Glotrans, shared: “Recently, DTU and Glotrans signed an MOU agreement, marking a significant milestone in the collaboration between the university and the company.

These events aim to share essential knowledge and skills with students, helping them prepare for internships and build the confidence to secure suitable jobs after graduation.”

During the talk show, participating students had the opportunity to meet, interact, and directly pose questions to experienced experts in the field of Logistics and Supply Chain Management. The speakers provided valuable insights and practical experiences, offering a comprehensive view of the logistics industry - from its opportunities to the challenges it presents. Particularly, DTU students received guidance on essential skills to impress employers, along with personalized career advice and development guidance, opening up new prospects for their future careers.

Speaking at the event, Dr. David Saiia, Dean of the DTU SouthStar Management Institute, remarked: “Logistics and Supply Chain Management play a crucial role in modern society. Today’s talk show equips students with a solid understanding of Logistics and the job opportunities available in this field at Glotrans. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we witnessed severe disruptions in supply chains, highlighting that Logistics is the ‘heart’ of global society. Without efficient logistics and supply chains, modern society cannot function smoothly.”

Dr. Saiia further emphasized: “Moreover, the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is completely transforming the face of Logistics and Supply Chain Management. AI offers new opportunities but also poses challenges. Some jobs may disappear, but those who can leverage AI will have significant advantages. Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of AI demonstrate that we must control and master technology, rather than letting it control us.”

I found the program very beneficial as it not only deepened my understanding of Logistics but also provided useful peripheral knowledge, such as interview and internship tips and valuable advice for learning and self-improvement. I’m grateful to the university for organizing such an interesting talk show and hope that similar programs in the future can reach even more students.”

The talk show, “Conquering Career Opportunities in Logistics: Orientation, Experience, and Opportunities with Glotrans,” not only offered a rewarding experience but also provided clearer career guidance for students, paving the way for their success in the promising field of Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
