Lunch Box Club for English No. 22: Planning for your career in USSH

The members listened to the sharing of specialist Nguyen Tuyet Mai (Politics and Student Affairs Department) about her wishes and challenges in her current job. Accordingly, the work of supporting students has brought her a lot of positive energy. It is not simply a service job of an administrative nature, but specialists like her also feel deeply sympathetic to the wishes, dreams and feelings of young people. It is this understanding that has helped her stick with the assigned tasks and constantly improve herself to improve the quality of her work. She also believes that her work also faces many challenges in the new context, when universities must be autonomous and mobilize to meet new training requirements and the needs of learners. Students are also facing pressure on adaptability, job search ability, entrepreneurship, developing diverse capacities and soft skills... These new issues also raise considerations for the school's student service and support department to have more practical and creative support activities, accompanying and closely connecting with students' needs.

Lunch Box Club for English has gone through 22 issues with rich content revolving around work and activities at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The Club contributes to improving the ability to practice and interact in English in real life for the University's staff.

Other members also shared their experiences about skills and the importance of planning for their own work and career development in the next 5 or 10 years. Because without a plan and vision, each employee will not see the goals they need to strive for in each stage of their work. One of the topics that many members discussed was the need to participate in courses to improve expertise, skills and opportunities to exchange with units outside the school. In addition, members also spent time sharing in depth about how to apply science, technology and engineering to improve the quality of work in the digital age.
