After the Launching ceremony, the second part – the Talkshow “Logistics Unveiling: Revealing the Curtain” officially commenced. The discussion revolved around the topic of Logistics for students, helping young generations address their inquiries regarding this field. With the participation of guests who are all experienced experts in the Logistics industry, the talkshow was conducted with great enthusiasm.
The talkshow features the presence of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Ms. Le Thi Hoang Oanh, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, Mr. Pham Van Long, and an online connection with Mr. Khiem Tran in Ho Chi Minh City via the Zoom.us platform.
Mr. Pham Van Long – Director of Abivin Vietnam Co., Ltd
Sharing at the talkshow, Mr. Long stated, “According to statistics from the Vietnam Logistics Association, in the next 10 years, we are predicted to face a shortage of up to 90% high-quality logistics workforce needed to support Vietnam’s economic activities. Therefore, if we do not focus on training and developing new labor forces, it will lead to many repercussions in the future, especially the increase in logistics costs and the decline in the competitiveness of the economy. He also expressed his delight with the projects of the young generation and has hopes that this generation can integrate technological platforms into logistics operations, as this is an essential developmental trend for the future.”
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha – Former Vice Director General of Dragon Logistics Co., Ltd.
Ms. Ha shared, “For students majoring in Economics, especially those in university with the Faculty of International Economics, they have a very solid foundation due to studying many fundamental subjects.” Drawing from her own experience upon leaving the Foreign Trade University, Ms. Ha mentioned that in the field of Logistics, we need a lot of complementary knowledge, and that is the strength of International Economics majors, as they are equipped with broad knowledge right from their time in school.
Ms. Le Thi Hoang Oanh – Alumni of the University of Economics and Business
Ms. Le Thi Hoang Oanh said: “Students whose majors in Economics and International Business should make the most of their time and resources, take initial steps to develop themselves and seize opportunities for diverse career paths in the future.”
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien – Head of Customer Service Department – APEX Logistics International (Vietnam) Co., Ltd.
According to Ms. Hien, in the next 5 – 10 years, the demand for Logistics services will continue to significantly increase. Therefore, youth generations still have plenty of time and numerous opportunities to equip themselves with knowledge, so they can be prepared to enter the Logistics industry without hesitation.
Mr. Khiem Tran – Speaker of Talkshow “Logistics Unveiling: Revealing the Curtain”
Mr. Khiem Tran said: “Logistics is not a new industry. One of the most well-known logistics activities is the Ho Chi Minh Sea Trail – the route through which our forces transported weapons, provisions… from the North to the South. We also have the Truong Son Trail on land – the route used to move personnel and equipment to the South to achieve what we have today. After 1975, our logistics route consisted of ocean-going vessels bringing goods from the Soviet Union and China to Vietnam, as well as transporting Vietnamese goods to other countries.” It can be seen that logistics has been present in our country for a long time, but it has only gained widespread attention and developed significantly in recent years. Nowadays, with the increasingly advanced language proficiency and the early age at which people enter the workforce, Mr. Khiem noted that the younger generation in the logistics field has a much stronger foundation than previous generations.
The Talkshow also received many questions from participants, which experts addressed concerning issues such as employment, opportunities, and challenges in the logistics industry. Surely, with these valuable insights, the young participants of the talkshow have equipped themselves with precious knowledge to confidently step forward on the path of exploration and self-improvement in the future.
Starting with the group of FIBE students who are passionate about exploring Logistics and Supply Chain, it is hoped that the establishment of the FIBE Logistics and Supply Chain Community – UEB – VNU (FLSC) will provide opportunities for young individuals to access this “hot” field early, laying the groundwork for abundant human resource development in the future.
