On the afternoon of May 23, the Faculty of Educational Science and Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology organized a Workshop "Cooperative creation of high-quality human resources" according to the "Real work - Real battle" model.
Sharing at the program, Mr. To Hong Nam - Deputy Director of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Education and Training said that Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo emphasizes the requirement to strengthen the role of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation, including education.
To realize this goal, strengthening the link between the State - School - Enterprise is considered a key task to train human resources to meet new development needs. This cooperation model not only stops at connecting schools and businesses but also expands into a multi-dimensional ecosystem between educational institutions, businesses and management agencies.
Mr. Nam said that the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to accompany schools and businesses to build human resources to meet the requirements of digital transformation and the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
At the Workshop, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hieu Hoc, Head of the Faculty of Educational Science and Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, shared that businesses currently face many "hidden costs" in recruitment such as recruitment promotion costs, organization of tests, interviews, retraining of personnel and time to integrate into the working environment.
Besides, there are risks such as personnel resigning due to inappropriate environment, not meeting job requirements, lack of practical skills or not suitable for corporate culture.
The school can confidently take on teaching well, but we lack practical exercises for students to practice.
As for students, they learn a lot but have few opportunities to do it really, practice, or if they do, it is the exercises of the teachers but from the perspective of the teachers and there are not many exercises from businesses" - Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hieu Hoc said.
Meanwhile, businesses are missing the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, have not taken advantage of resources from students and lecturers, and have not built long-term human resources.
From a practical perspective, the school proposes the "real work - real combat" model as a less risky solution, in the direction of "training first and then choosing the next person" instead of recruiting and then training.
According to this model, businesses propose practical problems or problems; students work in a project group with the companionship of lecturers and instructors from businesses throughout the semester; at the end of the semester, report or present to a council with businesses participating in the evaluation.
For practical modules, the school chooses from 3 - 5 specialized modules with high applicability to integrate business problems into the training content. About 30 - 40% of the module time is spent working with practical business problems.
Lecturers and instructors from businesses jointly build project topics, guide students and evaluate results. Students work in groups, present products at the end of the semester in front of a council with participating businesses.
The score structure includes 60% of projects and exercises; 40% are skills and business feedback. Standard students will be certified with completion.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hieu Hoc, the entire student participation process will be recorded to build "FED Talent Bank" - a student competency database. Businesses can access this data to recruit suitable personnel.
He believes that the model helps businesses quickly test new ideas, access potential human resources early, participate in adjusting training programs and build recruitment brands among students.
For students, the model creates opportunities to do real projects, thereby developing problem-solving skills, teamwork, design thinking, and project presentation skills.
Students are the most important part, together with teachers and businesses, creating high-quality human resources for the future" - Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hieu Hoc emphasized.
