Sharing the same opinion as the speakers, Assoc. Prof, Dr. Nguyen Van Ha – Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration of Banking Academy – Head of the External Relations Department of VALOMA said that creating conditions for students to participate in the Student Cafe program was ery good and she strongly supported it. She said,as a lecturer at a university, students upon graduation have a very good grasp of theory, but realistically, businesses would have to retrain them. Through the Student Cafe program, students will have the opportunity to approach reality, on that basis, students can identify what is missing and supplement immediately during their study time at the school. From then, not only improve the quality of human resources of the University but also helpinghelp businesses receiving the outputs of the schools reduce the time for retraining and businesses themselves would benefit greatly.

Comments from students when participating in the program:
According to sharing by Nguyen Huong Giang – currently a student majoring in Logistics, thanks to the answers of speakers and guests to the question “Currently, some e-commerce businesses are encroaching on the logistics market such as Shopee Express to develop their supply chains, would this threaten logistics businesses in the industry?” you have a better understanding and more courage to choose companies that you can apply for. future employment.
Not only attracting domestic students, but the program also attracts students who are currently studying abroad. Nguyen Hai Minh, a student studying abroad in Korea, asked the following questions to the speakers: “In Vietnam’s Cold Chain industry, after the new normal post – Covide, there any solution or change like Approach, Technology, Model… for the direction of Vietnam’s Cold Chain industry in general and enterprises producing and exporting agricultural and aquatic products in particular?” His interesting question has been answered quite completely and clearly by Mr. Tran Chi Dung about the direction of Vietnam’s Cold Chain industry in the post-Covid future. Since then, Minh has gained more knowledge and his orientation about future work.
