In the context of higher education, which prioritizes applicability and practical relevance, career orientation talks play a pivotal role in shaping students’ professional trajectories. The Golden Gate Career Talk event at Van Lang Saigon College (VLSC) constitutes a strategic activity, facilitating direct exposure to the industry landscape and enabling learners to clearly delineate their personal career development path.
1. Foundation of Collaboration and Academic Value
The event serves as a testament to the robust cooperation between VLSC and the Golden Gate Group, a leader in Vietnam’s F&B sector, boasting a network of over 35 renowned culinary brands (e.g., Gogi House, Kichi-Kichi, Hutong…).
The talk transcended simple experience sharing to function as an academic forum, providing students with:
An Opportunity Roadmap: Detailed information on the professional working environment, operational procedures, and corporate culture of a premier culinary ecosystem.
Empirical Analysis: An opportunity to “decode” brand management and development methodologies from both a business and human resources perspective.
2. In-depth Content and Direct Engagement
VLSC students engaged directly with and learned from Golden Gate’s experienced team of experts, including Mr. Dang Ngoc Tien – Head of Employer Brand Management Department, Golden Gate Group Joint Stock Company, and various recruitment specialists. The core focus of the session included:
Modern Professional Mindset: An analysis of the synergy between passion, specialized skills, and contemporary work ethics within the current market context.
Development Trajectory: Providing a concrete view of career progression milestones within the F&B industry, from internships to managerial positions.
Recruitment Bridge: Students received guidance on directly applying for Internship, Part-time, and Full-time positions via the Golden Star application, fostering the acquisition of real-world experience while still pursuing their academic studies.
3. Strategic Vision and Learner-Centric Outcomes
The Golden Gate Career Talk embodies VLSC’s educational philosophy, which focuses on enhancing student proactivity in the cultivation of professional opportunities. Each talk is positioned not merely as an informational event, but as an experiential learning platform, designed to assist learners in:
Bridging the Theory-Practice Gap: Offering a realistic labor market context for the verification and application of acquired knowledge.
Establishing Professional Networking: Facilitating direct connections with industry leaders and subject matter experts.
Fostering Agency: Inspiring students to take specific decisions and actions necessary for accumulating experience, thereby building a sustainable career development roadmap.
Through these activities, VLSC reaffirms the pivotal role of education in equipping students with self-efficacy, underscoring that future professional success is determined by dedicated learning efforts, practical experience accumulation, and the ability to seize opportunities immediately during the training phase.
