Soon to have a set of learning materials on entrepreneurship and start-up

On the afternoon of November 13, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-USSH) held a signing ceremony of a framework agreement on cooperation and funding with Dao Minh Quang Foundation to implement the project "Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Startup in Vietnam" and continue to grant Scholarships and Awards of Dao Minh Quang Foundation to VNU-USSH students.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan - President of VNU-USSH thanked the warm feelings, deep and strong relationship between Dao Minh Quang Foundation in general and Dr. Dao Minh Quang in particular for his contributions to the development of the school, especially the cooperation activities in the past 7 years (2016-2023). Over the past 7 years, many generations of VNU-USSH students have benefited from the Dao Minh Quang Fund through scholarships and support activities for building the school's facilities, even in difficult times due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Each year, the Fund awards scholarships to 22 students with excellent academic results, 10 students who are Class - Youth Union - Association officials with excellent/good academic results, 5 students with difficult circumstances with excellent/good academic results, each scholarship is worth 5 million VND.
Based on the idea of ​​supporting Vietnamese youth, the Fund has implemented the Project "Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Startup in Vietnam" and selected VNU-USSH as the place to build a set of standard learning materials in the field of entrepreneurial training and startups.
Dr. Dao Minh Quang emphasized:"Properly training Vietnamese youth with knowledge to start and start a business creatively and sustainably is an important and necessary task. With its position as the leading university in Vietnam in research and training in social sciences and humanities, I believe that VNU-USSH will be the unit to effectively implement the aspiration to build a set of learning materials including textbooks, monographs and implement training programs on starting and starting a business."

Dr. Dao Minh Quang shares the reason why the Fund supports the development of a set of learning materials on startups.

The project to fund the development of a set of learning materials on entrepreneurship and start-ups includes many different components such as: Building training programs on entrepreneurship and start-ups with standard learning materials; Building a specialized library on entrepreneurship and start-ups to serve students and those interested; Building a series of talk shows with sharing from experts; Building a Talent Incubator program. The Fund will also organize internship and practical activities for students at organizations and businesses to study comprehensively in this field.
Lawyer Nguyen Tien Lap - member of the Dao Minh Quang Fund Management Board said:"Through many years of providing legal support to economic groups, companies and enterprises, I have seen many businesses fail and go bankrupt due to managers lacking knowledge of law, finance, human resource management and lack of understanding of social institutions. Equipping startup participants with basic knowledge not only helps them limit risks during operations but also helps them get up after falling to continue on another startup path. That is the sustainability of startup activities."

Dr. Trinh Ngoc Thach - former Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children, Head of the Department of Public Policy, Faculty of Management Sciences, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, representative of the project implementation group "Start-up and sustainable start-up in Vietnam" said: The success rate of start-up activities is still too low, many young people, although they have the desire and enthusiasm to start a business, face many difficulties and obstacles due to lack of basic knowledge about start-up. Therefore, if this project is implemented, it will help them avoid many risks and thus start-up activities will not be a movement, wasteful but will become systematic and effective.

Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan said: The cooperation of Dao Minh Quang Fund with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to implement activities to support students in starting a business is an extremely meaningful activity while our entire university education system does not have any curriculum on starting a business to teach students. Therefore, when a set of standard, methodical learning materials is built according to the standards of advanced countries, it will help learners have basic knowledge to limit risks in the process of starting a business. This curriculum not only serves students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, but is also shared throughout the entire education system, providing basic knowledge and skills for those who want to start a business sustainably.
