Transferring from high school to a university environment, Chau Thi Diem Trinh (new student of Economics, Tien Giang University, Dong Thap province) soon realized the big difference in teaching methods and communication environment.
For Trinh, university is a dynamic space, promoting self-study and a gathering place for a large number of young people from many provinces and cities. The confrontation and exchange in this diverse environment is the catalyst to help herself grow up quickly.

Looking at the reality of recruitment in the Mekong Delta, businesses currently prioritize young workers with combat capabilities, flexible thinking and good communication skills.
However, many opinions believe that young personnel, although quick-witted, bear poor pressure. This situation puts many businesses in a passive position because personnel often change jobs, leading to impacts serving production and business.
The Can Tho City Employment Service Center recommends that workers, especially young people, should consider the appropriate time to change jobs; do not change jobs too early because there may be little work experience; have clear new plans and orientations,...
