[00:00:05] Hello everyone. So I hope everyone can
[00:00:06] hear me well. So um my name is Tan. I'm
[00:00:10] employment consultant from Careers,
[00:00:12] Alumni and Industry Relations. So this
[00:00:14] is my honor today um
[00:00:16] to be here and share with you what kind
[00:00:18] of services that we prepare and also
[00:00:21] support the student along their journey
[00:00:23] beside the studying. Um so
[00:00:27] first like
[00:00:29] let's [clears throat] have a quick
[00:00:30] introduction about who we are. So our
[00:00:32] department the name is called Careers,
[00:00:34] Alumni and Industry Relations and we
[00:00:37] have like three connected areas. We
[00:00:40] support the student with internship,
[00:00:42] with employment and career development.
[00:00:45] We connect the university with the
[00:00:47] industry partners through learning
[00:00:49] programs and maintain a strong alumni
[00:00:52] network.
[00:00:53] So our [clears throat] graduate can stay
[00:00:54] connected long after they leave the
[00:00:57] campus. So so far we already have around
[00:01:00] 28,000
[00:01:02] alumni in the network. Um so together
[00:01:05] with the three pillars form a complete
[00:01:07] career ecosystem that can support the
[00:01:10] student from their very first semester
[00:01:12] along the way through a full-time
[00:01:14] employment and beyond.
[00:01:18] Okay. So the next slide I would like to
[00:01:21] before we we share with you like
[00:01:24] you know like
[00:01:25] what kind of service that we providing
[00:01:27] for the student and support them. So I
[00:01:30] just want to take chance to also share a
[00:01:33] little bit about the
[00:01:34] what kind of things happen in the labor
[00:01:37] market and as you can see on the screen
[00:01:40] this data comes from the World Economic
[00:01:43] Forum's Future of Jobs Report last year
[00:01:45] 2025.
[00:01:47] Um the global job market is going going
[00:01:50] through
[00:01:51] if you can see a significant
[00:01:53] transformation.
[00:01:55] On the slide in the next, um, few years,
[00:01:58] like the technology and AI are expected
[00:02:00] to create around 170 million new jobs,
[00:02:05] but also display around 92 million
[00:02:08] existing ones.
[00:02:10] So, the net result is positive, a growth
[00:02:14] of around 78 million rows. The types of
[00:02:17] job are growing and the skill they
[00:02:19] require, of course, are also changing
[00:02:22] fast. So, what does it mean for the
[00:02:25] student? It means that, uh, a degree
[00:02:28] alone is no longer enough. Employers
[00:02:31] today looking beyond the grades, beyond
[00:02:33] the, uh, performance in their academic
[00:02:35] side. So, they want to see more about
[00:02:38] the communication skill, problem-solving
[00:02:40] ability, adaptability, and digital
[00:02:43] confidence, including how responsibly a
[00:02:46] student use AI tools in the workplace.
[00:02:49] So, they want also an, uh, an evidence,
[00:02:53] not just a transcript, or actual
[00:02:55] projects, uh, but actual projects,
[00:02:57] internship, or even like a real-world
[00:03:00] experience.
[00:03:01] So, um, here are something that we also
[00:03:04] want to highlight that parents can also
[00:03:07] have. So, you can also encourage the
[00:03:10] student to explore, gain experience,
[00:03:13] and, uh, keep learning early. So, not by
[00:03:16] pressuring them, you know, like to find
[00:03:18] a really perfect job right away, but
[00:03:20] sometimes you can also support them to
[00:03:22] say yes to opportunities and try new
[00:03:25] things to grow.
[00:03:27] So, that's something we also want to,
[00:03:29] uh, bring the mindset mindset shift from
[00:03:32] the job market demands, and that is
[00:03:34] something, uh, the mindset that we want
[00:03:36] to, uh, build, support to build for the
[00:03:39] student.
[00:03:42] So, first, um, let let let's talk about
[00:03:44] what we are doing and how we can, you
[00:03:47] know, like support the student to cope
[00:03:48] with the changing, the really fast
[00:03:50] changing in the labor market. So, the
[00:03:52] foundation of our career support is the
[00:03:55] career ready hub. So, this is a drop-in
[00:03:57] service center where the student can
[00:03:59] walk anytime from Monday to Friday from
[00:04:03] 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. And we have, you
[00:04:07] know, like career ready hub both in
[00:04:09] Saigon South campus and also in Hanoi
[00:04:12] with the location on the screen. So, no
[00:04:15] appointment needed. So, if the student
[00:04:17] have any questions related to career
[00:04:20] concern, they can come to
[00:04:22] our career ready hub anytime.
[00:04:24] It just, you know, like tackle one
[00:04:26] question or if they want to
[00:04:29] seek for more support. So, the next
[00:04:31] slide is something that we also provide
[00:04:33] for the student.
[00:04:36] So, [clears throat]
[00:04:37] on the screen, we we have a lot of, you
[00:04:39] know, like support for the student. For
[00:04:41] example, like the practical, you know,
[00:04:43] like CV, cover letter reviews or
[00:04:45] interview preparation.
[00:04:48] The student can also book the
[00:04:49] consultation with us. We call like
[00:04:52] one-on-one consultation with our
[00:04:53] consultants to plan their career or even
[00:04:58] like, you know, have a,
[00:05:00] you know, like opportunities to join our
[00:05:02] flagship event
[00:05:04] such as like the career workshop and
[00:05:05] events throughout the year.
[00:05:08] So,
[00:05:10] the key message here is like
[00:05:13] we we meet student whenever they are in
[00:05:16] the journey, whether they are in year
[00:05:18] one, year two or year three. And the
[00:05:21] next slide, I also want to share with
[00:05:23] you
[00:05:24] another things that we also prepare for
[00:05:26] the student.
[00:05:28] Speaking about the journey, we actually
[00:05:31] map it out for the student through
[00:05:33] the things we call career ready roadmap.
[00:05:36] So, it's simple but really powerful
[00:05:39] thing. We empower the student from day
[00:05:41] one. So, [snorts] we define
[00:05:45] three stage. The first one in year one,
[00:05:47] the student can come with the explore
[00:05:50] stage where they can build their
[00:05:52] self-awareness and discover their
[00:05:54] interest and strengths. And in the next
[00:05:56] year,
[00:05:58] in the develop stage, they can take
[00:06:00] action, build skills, or even like gain
[00:06:03] more experience. So, in the year three,
[00:06:06] they we call like a transition stage
[00:06:09] where the student can connect directly
[00:06:11] with the employers and prepare for their
[00:06:13] workplace.
[00:06:14] Um what I love about the roadmap is this
[00:06:17] is designed by RMIT student and for RMIT
[00:06:21] student. So, it reflect reflects the
[00:06:24] reality, not just the theory. And for
[00:06:27] this framework, even like this is just a
[00:06:30] recommended, you know, framework for the
[00:06:32] student.
[00:06:33] And, you know, for the student start in
[00:06:36] day one, but if they already in year two
[00:06:39] and they haven't started any
[00:06:42] exploration with with us yet, they can
[00:06:44] anytime come back to year one,
[00:06:48] you know, like back to the loop to
[00:06:49] explore the state if they want to, you
[00:06:51] know, like find out their interest
[00:06:53] again. So, this is kind of a loop where
[00:06:55] they can start to explore, develop, and
[00:06:58] transition anytime.
[00:07:02] Okay.
[00:07:04] Beside the framework, I think one of our
[00:07:07] most thing impactful that we are
[00:07:09] offering for the student is about a
[00:07:11] flagship internship program. So, this is
[00:07:14] the very well structured and full-time
[00:07:16] internship running from for about 12
[00:07:19] weeks with around 40 to 48 working hours
[00:07:22] per week. So, it runs three times, same
[00:07:25] with the semester time start.
[00:07:28] It usually start from February after Tet
[00:07:31] holiday, mid-June, and mid-October. So,
[00:07:34] the student have multiple opportunities
[00:07:36] to participate. So, what's special about
[00:07:39] this program is is embedded across this
[00:07:42] kind of almost every school at RMIT and
[00:07:45] we provided a holistic support for the
[00:07:48] student. This is not only the classroom
[00:07:50] exercise, but [clears throat] it's also
[00:07:52] a real work, a real companies, a real
[00:07:54] job building the real experience
[00:07:58] based on their CV and you know, like
[00:08:00] have them gain more
[00:08:03] advantage before they graduate.
[00:08:07] So and again, this is you know, like
[00:08:10] some not some but like most of the
[00:08:13] programs that have the compulsory
[00:08:15] internship.
[00:08:17] So far across three school.
[00:08:21] So beside the framework, beside the
[00:08:23] internship
[00:08:25] opportunities, we also have an internal
[00:08:27] job platform. Two ways for them to
[00:08:30] accept. The first one, the student can
[00:08:32] follow our career page on the Facebook
[00:08:34] page where we post the curated hot jobs
[00:08:39] every week from you know, like our
[00:08:42] partner companies
[00:08:44] and you know, the the second
[00:08:48] um
[00:08:49] things that they can access the careers
[00:08:51] online portal is they can directly
[00:08:54] log in by their student ID where they
[00:08:57] can browse a lot of jobs from
[00:08:59] from our partner
[00:09:01] companies and they even can track the
[00:09:04] employers they're interested in
[00:09:07] and then they set the personalized
[00:09:10] preferences.
[00:09:11] So if if you know about this platform,
[00:09:14] so you can also encourage your
[00:09:17] children, the student to check it
[00:09:18] regularly. So we believe that the
[00:09:21] opportunities won't come
[00:09:23] right away, but we try to make it very
[00:09:26] easy for them to find.
[00:09:30] So beyond the one-on-one support, the
[00:09:33] self you know, like study and
[00:09:36] um platform that we provide. We also
[00:09:38] bringing a lot of career development um
[00:09:41] activities through um the program for
[00:09:44] the student. So, um we every semester
[00:09:48] along the year, we have some skill
[00:09:51] development programs or workshop for the
[00:09:54] student. And one of our highlight is
[00:09:56] about our careers festival. This is the
[00:09:59] biggest career event of the year uh
[00:10:01] organized by us. Um you know, a a lot of
[00:10:05] top employers come together under one
[00:10:07] day along with the workshop, the
[00:10:10] networking sessions, and some uh career
[00:10:12] preparation activities where the student
[00:10:15] can connect with them, um ask them the
[00:10:18] you know, like explore the job
[00:10:19] opportunities that they are recruiting.
[00:10:22] And that's is also um the chance for
[00:10:24] them to to try the networking um you
[00:10:27] know, like activity with the company.
[00:10:29] So, last year we uh have the
[00:10:33] um the theme of the career festival is
[00:10:35] about the AI, uh how AI shaping
[00:10:39] um the job opportunities among the
[00:10:41] companies. And we bringing a lot of
[00:10:43] training workshop for the student that
[00:10:46] they can utilize AI in their application
[00:10:49] process or even like AI in um the career
[00:10:52] development stage.
[00:10:55] So, um the next slide just a a a picture
[00:10:59] to demonstrate the uh vibe and the
[00:11:01] atmosphere. Uh every [clears throat]
[00:11:03] year we have a kind of a festival for
[00:11:05] the student. Yeah.
[00:11:08] Next slide. Um
[00:11:11] When we um
[00:11:13] when sometimes I had a chance to also um
[00:11:16] you know, like um
[00:11:18] join some workshop and interact with the
[00:11:20] a lot of parents. And some of the
[00:11:22] question that I received the most is
[00:11:24] about does RMIT guarantee a job after
[00:11:27] graduation for the student? And I I want
[00:11:30] to be honest that the answer is we not a
[00:11:33] you know that a placement agency but we
[00:11:35] really try to
[00:11:38] you know we we can guarantee that your
[00:11:41] the student will have a lot of
[00:11:43] opportunity the tool the support the
[00:11:46] in-need support that we do to help them
[00:11:49] to build a very strong career foundation
[00:11:53] like the internship program the job
[00:11:54] board that we we hosted
[00:11:57] the events that we bring in and later on
[00:12:00] my colleagues also sharing the
[00:12:02] engagement with the industry partners
[00:12:04] how it can also bring in more impact for
[00:12:07] the student.
[00:12:08] >> [snorts]
[00:12:08] >> So what makes the biggest difference
[00:12:10] here? So the student who show up and
[00:12:14] use utilize the resources attend the
[00:12:17] events and take the initiative in their
[00:12:20] journey. So we can see that significant
[00:12:23] change. So if you are you know
[00:12:26] alongside with them so also we really
[00:12:29] need you to also encourage them to join
[00:12:31] the events and also remember
[00:12:34] like remind them to come to the career
[00:12:36] ready hub anytime if they need the
[00:12:38] support.
[00:12:40] Okay. So um
[00:12:42] um so now
[00:12:44] my part is also only covers the career
[00:12:47] services and the direct support that we
[00:12:50] offer to student but career readiness at
[00:12:53] RMIT goes even deeper than that. So it
[00:12:56] also given in the way the student
[00:12:58] actually learn here in university. So
[00:13:01] now I would like to hand over to my
[00:13:03] colleague Chau who's going to talk about
[00:13:06] the industry is embedded directly in our
[00:13:08] academic programs to the industry
[00:13:11] partner learning. So this is where the
[00:13:13] connection between the campus and the
[00:13:15] real world really comes to life. So Chau
[00:13:19] over to you.
[00:13:27] Okay.
[00:13:28] Thank you
[00:13:29] for sharing and good afternoon everyone.
[00:13:33] Please allow me to briefly introduce
[00:13:35] about myself. So, my name's Joe. I'm the
[00:13:37] industry consultant from Korea's
[00:13:39] Department. And I'll be honored today to
[00:13:43] share with the parents here in the
[00:13:45] section of how RMIT helps students
[00:13:49] connect their academic knowledge with
[00:13:52] the world work through the industry
[00:13:54] partner learning or IPL.
[00:13:57] So, at RMIT we think that career
[00:14:01] readiness is not something that student
[00:14:04] only just started in their last year,
[00:14:07] but it's gradually developed through
[00:14:11] a journey from classroom learning,
[00:14:13] industry exposure, practical project,
[00:14:16] and reflections. So, in which the
[00:14:18] industry partner learning will support
[00:14:21] the whole journey.
[00:14:22] Industry partner learning or IPL have
[00:14:26] three main
[00:14:28] areas. First is the work integrated
[00:14:31] learning or will. So, at RMIT we don't
[00:14:34] use the exam to assess the performance
[00:14:38] academic performance of the student, but
[00:14:41] student will work on the authentic
[00:14:44] assessment either as individual or as a
[00:14:48] group work. They're going to work on the
[00:14:51] industry project capstone the real case
[00:14:54] study from the company. Through that the
[00:14:58] student will apply what they learn
[00:15:01] in class to the realistic workplace
[00:15:04] situation.
[00:15:07] Secondly is the career development
[00:15:09] learning
[00:15:11] where through the activities we
[00:15:13] co-design with the lecturer, the student
[00:15:16] will have the chance to enhance their
[00:15:18] strength to build their self-awareness
[00:15:22] and learn how to manage their own
[00:15:24] journey into the career um the future
[00:15:27] career more proactively.
[00:15:30] Um the last but not least is the um
[00:15:32] industry-embedded activities, including
[00:15:35] um
[00:15:36] some activity like guest speaker,
[00:15:39] um the guest talk, company visit,
[00:15:41] networking events, or even some uh
[00:15:44] competition or um entrepreneur um
[00:15:46] activities. So, as you can see on the
[00:15:49] right side of the slide, it an example
[00:15:52] of some um IPL activities. We uh bring
[00:15:55] the student for an excursion to the
[00:15:57] product of high farm, or the um industry
[00:16:00] talk with um the CEO of ZaloPay.
[00:16:11] Um this slide I want to also share more
[00:16:13] uh about the highlighted um IPL activity
[00:16:16] across um different disciplines, because
[00:16:19] um at RMIT, most of the program we we
[00:16:22] always has the we always has the um IPL
[00:16:26] um element in in the uh course of the
[00:16:28] student. For example, you can see on the
[00:16:30] screen, the first picture is um uh when
[00:16:34] the logistics student um
[00:16:36] connected uh with the DHL for a company
[00:16:40] um visit, or the global business student
[00:16:43] will have the chance to engage with the
[00:16:46] uh Vinamilk as their industry client, or
[00:16:50] um student in finance, they have the
[00:16:52] chance to hear from the real inside of
[00:16:55] uh guest speaker come from Viet Capital
[00:16:57] Securities.
[00:16:59] Um some other program we can see here
[00:17:01] like digital marketing,
[00:17:03] um or or Propcom uh professional
[00:17:06] communication student um
[00:17:08] uh students, they have the chance to
[00:17:10] work with the uh industry clients uh for
[00:17:13] their capstone uh project, or the
[00:17:16] company visits to KMS for um technology
[00:17:19] uh
[00:17:20] students.
[00:17:22] Um the experience really valuable for
[00:17:25] for the students because
[00:17:27] many of them may know about the company
[00:17:29] name or about the job title, but they
[00:17:33] may not yet understand what the work
[00:17:36] actually
[00:17:37] really look like day-to-day or how the
[00:17:40] culture of the company or how the market
[00:17:43] is evolving out there and how it's
[00:17:45] impact to their future careers.
[00:17:48] So um through IPR activities, student
[00:17:51] can see
[00:17:52] how classroom knowledge is applied in
[00:17:55] the real industry and they also build
[00:17:58] what we call here is the employability
[00:18:00] evidence like real example that they can
[00:18:03] use later in their CV and their LinkedIn
[00:18:07] profile or in their portfolio
[00:18:10] to to get ready for the future careers.
[00:18:13] So at RMIT, I think instead of saying
[00:18:16] that
[00:18:17] we study this subject at university, the
[00:18:20] student can say I worked on this
[00:18:22] project. I solved this problem for this
[00:18:27] company or in this industry and I
[00:18:30] received the feedback form from our
[00:18:32] clients.
[00:18:39] Um on the screen, I want to briefly
[00:18:42] share with you one really strong example
[00:18:45] of
[00:18:46] an IBL activity. This is the
[00:18:49] IBL activities for the business graduate
[00:18:53] folio which is a design as a capstone
[00:18:56] project for future ready graduates in
[00:18:59] the business program.
[00:19:00] Um in this activity, the student will
[00:19:03] have three key assessment. The first one
[00:19:06] will have student to reflect on their
[00:19:08] values, on their skill and strength
[00:19:11] after hearing from industry um guest
[00:19:13] speaker.
[00:19:14] And this help them, you know, uh better
[00:19:17] understand how um who they are and what
[00:19:20] they can uh offer to the market.
[00:19:23] Um in the second assessment, uh we will
[00:19:26] focus on the um CV consultation and the
[00:19:30] uh recruitment process. And um
[00:19:32] particularly in this um section, uh the
[00:19:35] student will have the chance to directly
[00:19:37] hear from uh uh an HR practitioners or
[00:19:43] HR professionals um share with them how
[00:19:45] recruitment works and provide practical
[00:19:47] guidance to the students.
[00:19:49] Um this will help student a lot in terms
[00:19:52] of understanding how to present
[00:19:54] themselves more clearly and
[00:19:56] professionally.
[00:19:58] Um third assessment, um
[00:20:01] the student will complete a
[00:20:02] micro-internship or industry challenge
[00:20:05] where they work in teams or on a real
[00:20:08] business problem to and and present
[00:20:10] their idea to showcase um their work and
[00:20:13] and skill with the company.
[00:20:17] So, um
[00:20:18] this kind of activity will have student
[00:20:20] practice really important um
[00:20:22] transferable skill including like
[00:20:25] teamwork, uh presentation skill,
[00:20:27] communication skill, problem-solving,
[00:20:30] uh creativity, all of those um
[00:20:33] critical skill that they require a lot
[00:20:35] in the um labor market.
[00:20:38] So, just a quick note here, I just want
[00:20:41] to have a message for the parents. The
[00:20:43] key point here is that um student are
[00:20:45] not only just studying the knowledge,
[00:20:47] they also um at RMIT, they also
[00:20:50] practicing how they think, how they
[00:20:52] work, how they communicate, and how to
[00:20:55] respond to the real um expectation from
[00:20:58] the industry.
[00:21:04] Um
[00:21:05] uh uh this slide I also want to, um,
[00:21:08] showcase some of the, um, uh uh,
[00:21:10] organization or industry partner that we
[00:21:12] have been uh, building and maintaining
[00:21:15] the partnership closely. And those
[00:21:18] company, um, always supported our RMIT
[00:21:20] student through their, um, learning
[00:21:23] experience or learning journey. Um, you
[00:21:25] might recognize many, uh, big names or
[00:21:27] familiar name here like, um, Central
[00:21:30] Retail Boss, um, Dentsu, um,
[00:21:33] KMS, um,
[00:21:35] Michelin, but, um, at the end of the
[00:21:39] day, the matter is not, uh, the logos,
[00:21:41] but, um, the matter is how the student
[00:21:45] can see, um,
[00:21:47] the learning ecosystem behind those, uh,
[00:21:49] industry partner. So, through these
[00:21:52] connections, students gain access to the
[00:21:54] real industry perspective. They learn
[00:21:56] what employees employers value, what
[00:21:59] skill are changing, what skill are need,
[00:22:02] um,
[00:22:02] in the demand of the market, and how
[00:22:04] they can prepare themselves, um,
[00:22:07] earlier.
[00:22:11] Um, to close this section, I just would
[00:22:14] like to share some, uh, few practical
[00:22:17] ways that parents can support the
[00:22:19] student, um, throughout the journey from
[00:22:21] careers development or in, um, IPL in
[00:22:25] their, uh, course. Uh,
[00:22:27] first, encourage the student to
[00:22:31] Sorry. Uh, first, encourage the student
[00:22:33] to, you know, visit the Career Ready
[00:22:35] Hub. Um, this is, uh,
[00:22:38] a friendly, really friendly starting
[00:22:41] point for the students, um, to ask for
[00:22:44] any resources about career consultation
[00:22:46] and career development.
[00:22:48] Um, secondly, um,
[00:22:51] encourage the student to to take on a
[00:22:53] part-time job, um, even in year one or
[00:22:56] year two, whenever they feel ready. Even
[00:22:59] just a simple, uh, work experience can
[00:23:01] also help student build um, their
[00:23:04] responsibilities,
[00:23:06] their communication, and especially for
[00:23:07] their confidence.
[00:23:09] And if they are not comfortable
[00:23:13] with the work
[00:23:15] outside yet,
[00:23:17] student can start to
[00:23:19] apply for on-campus roles. Many
[00:23:21] departments at RMIT will have the
[00:23:25] position for student position, for
[00:23:27] example, like student ambassadors,
[00:23:29] career ready hub assistant, or student
[00:23:32] connect, or rec team roles.
[00:23:34] These are very good ways for for
[00:23:36] students to to have practice workplace
[00:23:40] skill, but in a supportive and friendly
[00:23:42] university environment.
[00:23:46] Um for
[00:23:48] the parents can
[00:23:50] should remind the student and encourage
[00:23:52] them to pursue the flagship internship
[00:23:55] to gain the real workplace experience.
[00:23:58] And among of that, among of that,
[00:24:02] remember to utilize the careers online
[00:24:05] portal, where they can search for job
[00:24:08] opportunities.
[00:24:10] They can also get support to build their
[00:24:12] CV, mock interview.
[00:24:14] And finally, the last but not least,
[00:24:17] encourage them to attend
[00:24:20] as much as possible the guest talk,
[00:24:24] industry forum, company visits, whenever
[00:24:26] they have a chance.
[00:24:28] These experience experiences will help
[00:24:30] student expand their network and also
[00:24:33] understand different career perspective
[00:24:35] and options.
[00:24:39] Um so just once again, I believe that
[00:24:43] your encouragement would make a big
[00:24:44] difference, and also at RMIT, we are
[00:24:47] here to support the student the student
[00:24:49] throughout the journey from learning in
[00:24:51] class to connecting with industry and uh
[00:24:55] for the world of work.
[00:24:57] And um this is also the end of uh my uh
[00:25:01] um sharing section. Thank you for
[00:25:03] listening.
