And this is one of the key matters, tempting hiring manager kind of reluctant or resistant to hire fresh graduate and young professionals. We want to solve this problem in sustainable manner, so we are opening this annual project development contests - Vietnam's Amazing Student , contest website - www.amazingstudent.org, During the contest student teams will learn those three skills from the mentor we will provide and also develop a small social project which will bring positive impact to the community. |
