Internship and Career

As your child progresses through college, the question “”So what are you doing after college?”” will inevitably come up. For many students, college is a crucial step toward their future careers, and preparing for this moment involves more than just academics. At VinUniversity, we are deeply committed to preparing every student for a successful career, offering a wide range of services to support their professional growth. These include career counseling, internship programs, workshops, and networking opportunities with industry leaders. You and your child can learn more about these services and resources by visiting the VinUniversity’s Career Services. As a parent, you also play a vital role in guiding and supporting your student through this transition. Here’s how you can help:

1. Encourage Early Career Exploration

Talk with your child about their interests and career aspirations early on. Suggest they attend career fairs, join relevant student organizations, and reach out to professionals for informational interviews. Early exploration helps them make informed decisions.

2. Promote Networking Skills

Help your student understand the importance of building connections. Encourage them to connect with faculty, alumni, and industry professionals. Networking is often the key to landing internships and job opportunities.

3. Support Gaining Real-World Experience

Encourage your child to seek internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work. These experiences provide practical skills and help them discover what they truly enjoy, making their resumes more competitive. At VinUniversity, students have access to a variety of hands-on opportunities:
+ Work-study programs and on-campus jobs allow students to gain valuable experience while studying.
+ Students can also have opportunities to intern at leading Vingroup companies in their specific area of study.

Internships with external companies or organizations are also encouraged.

VinUniversity’s Career Services team is dedicated to connecting students with the best possible internship matches, ensuring their off-campus experiences prepare them for a successful transition into the workforce.

4. Help Them Set Goals and Plan Strategically

Work with your student to set realistic career goals and break them into manageable steps. Regularly reviewing and adjusting these goals helps them stay focused and motivated. Your guidance can provide clarity and direction.

5. Foster a Lifelong Learning Mindset

The job market is constantly evolving, so encourage your student to embrace continuous learning and adaptability. Soft skills like communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving are also crucial for long-term success.
