Seminar “Labor Transition” – Identifying Challenges and Seizing Opportunities
The highlight of the 2025 Business Connection Day is the panel discussion report, providing academic and practical perspectives on one of the hottest issues in the current human resource market.
Report title: “Labor shift and the role of vocational training institutions and enterprises in the current situation”
Following the success of the 2024 Scientific Conference, which discussed trends in vocational education, NSG continues to delve into a topical topic: “labor transition”.
Ms. Dang Thi Thu Hien – Head of the Department of Science, Technology and Cooperation, presented a comprehensive and in-depth report.

At the same time, the report also emphasizes the indispensable role of businesses in “ordering” human resources, deeply participating in the training process and creating conditions for students to access new technology. This connection, according to Ms. Hien, is the key to solving the problem of “surplus teachers, lack of workers” and improving national competitiveness.
Expanding international cooperation: Focus on Truely Wonder LLC Group (USA)
One of the special highlights and attracting the greatest attention at this year’s event is the participation of partners from the United States, opening a new chapter in the direction of international cooperation and finding opportunities for NSG students in high-end labor markets.
