In response to students and parents' concerns about job opportunities in the fields of journalism and communication, Dr. Nguyen Phi Long - Head of Training Department of the Vietnam Women's Academy said that studying journalism and communication in the field of journalism is only one of the industry's output standards.

"In fact, students studying journalism and media can find a job that suits their abilities and strengths right before graduation" - Mr. Long said.
Dr. Vu Thi Thanh Nhan - Head of the Faculty of Multimedia Communications, Thang Long University commented that in such a general context, schools and students must adapt and equip themselves with sufficient skills to meet the requirements of employers.
For example, at Thang Long University, Ms. Nhan said that students studying Multimedia Communications will be trained in 3 main directions: photography; design; filming from basic to advanced. In particular, they are allowed to practice up to 80% of their studies, ensuring that they meet the requirements of the labor market.
