What is Vietnam's Amazing Student Contest?
|
In our last two years, I was doing research on Vietnamese young talent pool on a problem - "why it's hard for fresh graduate to get job?" So we were interviewing different levels of hiring managers around industries. On our research we found that Vietnamese fresh graduates or young professionals (less then 3 year experience) are struggling on the following key skills:
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. |
