Lac Hong University living with businesses
A: Well, in fact, many graduates can not find jobs due to the training programs of most universities. They just put a stress on theory and students lack a lot of working skills. Many businesses have spent no small amount of money for retraining programs before accepting them to work. And this is a stinging question of the whole society. To address that, as a young school - Lac Hong University, for its survival and long-term development, it is imperative to connect closely with places that receive students after their graduation.
Our university has clearly defined it is a business that goes abreast with the school during the development process. Without businesses, students have no places to take internships and to work. It is also a subject for the school to build successfully its model "School and businesses doing scientific research together and applying them”. The business is also a place to accept graduates and give exact feedback for the school's training so that they can meet social needs. Definitely, without businesses, there are no research topics, no scholarships for students to study abroad, and no postgraduates.
Also, it regularly offers students practical trips to industrial zones, seminars, exchanges between enterprises and students to facilitate their learning about the activities of companies, enterprises and businesses’ requirements.
Q: Could you please tell us some of the initial results of these measures?
A: Thanks to a specific action plan with specialized staff in apprenticeship and business relations since 2008, so far over 438 companies and factories have signed training cooperation programs with the school to use its human resources. According to statistics, every year, 438 businesses need 35 thousand graduates while each year the school has just over two thousand graduates. This shows that students of Lac Hong do not need to worry about jobs but strive to study to be able to reach high positions after graduation.
Statistics also showed that in 2010, of the 1,790 apprentices, 1,387 have signed labor contracts with businesses while still not graduated. The number of apprentices having jobs immediately makes up to 77,49%.
The success of the robocon team in 2010 has brought training cooperation and the use of human resource has doubled. For example, LS Cable and Olympus companies has completely cooperated with Lac Hong University in recruitment with numbers from 50 to 70 engineers, bachelors annually.
That scholarships worth hundreds of VND million are annually offered to poor students by businesses is also good evidence of long-term cooperration between the University and Enterprise.
Q: Thank you very much Dr. Dang Duy So for spending time with us. Surely enough, with its location between 70 industrial zones in Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria Vung Tau along with the strategy of "Living with businesses," Lac Hong University will fulfill its training tasks, meeting social needs in accordance with education mission that the school has proposed
