After a period of internship, Minh is working in the Communication and Fundraising department of Saigon Children's Charity, specialising in managing the website content. He is also a coordinator for the charity’s cyber safety comic book project.
Minh revealed that before securing this job, he had gone through a brief period of uncertainty after two previous job offers at other organisations were withdrawn because of COVID-19.
“Thanks to the RMIT CareerHub, I got a three-month internship at Saigon Children’s Charity, which was then extended for another month before turning into a full-time job,” he said.
“I am very happy to continue pursuing my chosen path, which is working in the fields of special education and social work. Though a niche area, it’s suitable for my ability, personality and experience.”
In the near future, Minh aims to apply for the Australia Awards Scholarship to complete a Master’s degree in either special education or social work. Yet in order to better support the community, Minh believes he will need to deepen and broaden his qualifications even further.
“I look forward to improving my qualifications and experience in order to become more proficient in social work. I’m also eager to give back to the RMIT Wellbeing team to help students with disabilities become more independent and confident in life and work,” he said.
Manager of Equitable Learning Services at RMIT University Carol Witney added: “During his undergraduate study, Minh provided considerable support to other students in terms of pastoral care, technical support and consultancy around advocating for best academic practices including Universal Design for Learning. I can’t wait to see what amazing projects and initiatives Minh will be part of next in his career.”
