On 6th October, the VNUHCM-University of Science hosted the seminar titled “Connecting Enterprises with the Faculty of Geology in Training and Recruitment” at the Nguyễn Văn Cừ campus in District 5. The event was presided over by the Faculty of Geology, with the attendance of the Department’s Executive Board, including Assoc. Prof. Phạm Trung Hiếu, Dean of the Faculty; M.Sc.

During the seminar, the Faculty of Geology presented a report on student enrolment and the employment demand over the past three years. This report not only provided a clear insight into the training programmes but also reflected feedback from enterprises, students, and lecturers, with the aim of continuously enhancing the quality of education.

Representatives from various enterprises expressed their workforce needs and the skills they desired from graduates. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Geology introduced its training programmes and essential skills acquired by students during their studies. This provided a valuable opportunity for all parties to discuss and orient the development of human resources in the geology sector.

The seminar served not only as a bridge between the Faculty of Geology and enterprises but also as a foundation for establishing strategic cooperation agreements. Consequently, it promised to expand opportunities for internships, scholarships, and practical research for students. The event offered the potential for significant advancements in improving training quality, preparing students to face the challenges in their careers.

It is hoped that with this close connection, the Faculty of Geology will continue to create even more opportunities for students in the future.
