VAN HIEN UNIVERSITY
In the context of a rapidly developing economy and increasingly demanding
labor market requirements, student training should not only focus on
theoretical knowledge but also emphasize practical skills and the ability to
adapt to real-world work environments. Internships play a particularly
important role in the training process, helping students apply their learned
knowledge to specific business situations. Through internships, students have
the opportunity to access a professional work environment, hone their
professional skills, communication skills, and professional conduct. For
students of the Faculty of Finance & Accounting - Van Hien University,
internships are not only a mandatory requirement in the training program but
also a bridge between theory and practice, contributing to improving the quality
of training and the ability to meet the needs of the labor market.
In early March 2026, immediately after the Lunar New Year holiday,
students from the Faculty of Finance & Accounting, Van Hien University,
simultaneously began their professional internship program. Students were
assigned to intern at various economic entities in Ho Chi Minh City, including
commercial banks, service businesses, trading companies, and manufacturing
companies. Many of the internship recipients were familiar partners with
long-standing collaborations with the faculty and the university in practical
training. Organizing simultaneous internships allowed students to experience a
real-world work environment, observe business processes, and apply their
specialized knowledge. This also provided employers with an opportunity to
assess students' capabilities and strengthen the link between the university
and businesses. This activity contributed to the effective implementation of
the faculty's training program, which integrates theory with practice.
After graduation, many students were offered full-time positions at the
same companies where they completed their internships. The internship process
allowed them to demonstrate their professional skills, work ethic, and ability
to adapt to the corporate environment. Many alumni, after becoming full-time
employees, continued to support and mentor subsequent internship cohorts. This
contributed to the formation of a lasting connection between generations of
students and the companies that provided their internships.
