International development is a field with great potential for Vietnamese students. Students can work in areas such as health, education, humanitarian relief, emergency aid and project management. In addition, students can work in the public sector, international organizations, non-governmental organizations or in the private sector.
Dr. Lahiff noted that students need to have an updated, comprehensive knowledge system and prepare early with transferable skills to meet the requirements of the labor market. Dr. Lahiff also provided some useful websites, tools and online courses that students can access such as OpenIGO and Linkedin. The participating students also asked some questions to Dr. Lahiff.
He also shared that Vietnam has many favorable conditions to promote international development research. He believes that high-quality human resources play an important role in Vietnam's sustainable development.
