The Job Shop, a learning space where the team delivers workshops and provides support to students from both Saigon South and Hanoi campuses, has seen more visits and engagement when switching to virtual mode.
“We had 2,000 visits in just July,” Ms Spiga said.
“Last week the Student Council organised a special event at Job Shop to celebrate Korean culture, and to introduce more fun and diverse activities in this virtual space.”
The well-established employability skills application Personal Edge has increased its strength even more during the pandemic.
“Since the launch in 2018, over 5,700 students have participated in practical skills workshops, panel sharing and company visits to develop their employability,” Ms Spiga said.
“When students graduate, they can publish a digital portfolio of skills obtained from what they acquired on Personal Edge to highlight their experiences to future employers.”
One Personal Edge Ambassador and Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management student Tran Quynh Phuong acknowledged the benefit of being actively involved in many activities during her time at RMIT.
"The Personal Edge skillsets that I have built throughout the years at RMIT help me prove my eligibility to future employers," Phuong said.
"I am more confident in reaching out for help or applying for jobs and internships thanks to my skills.
Phuong got an internship in a 5-star hotel in HCMC thanks to the connections she made after participating in a number of activities, including Experience Day, International Day and Personal Edge week.
