The seminar featured a discussion between two speakers who are alumni of the university and have achieved success in entrepreneurship. Mr. Nguyen Phan Huy Khoi (a former student of K45, majoring in Han Nom Studies, Faculty of Literature) is currently the Director of External Relations at Numberone Group – Tan Hiep Phat, and Chairman and CEO of Bao Ninh Investment Company Limited. Ms. Nhu Thi Ngan (a former student of K48, Tourism Studies) is currently the General Director of Hanoi Tourism Investment Joint Stock Company and Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Vecas Tourism Joint Stock Company.

Mr. Nguyen Pham Huy Khoi assesses the job opportunities for students in the social sciences field.

Huy Khoi assessed that, in the past, entrepreneurial opportunities for social science students were limited, and entrepreneurship was almost exclusively for economics students. However, in recent years, humanities students have had more opportunities in the field of entrepreneurship. Sharing his thoughts at the seminar, Huy Khoi said, "To succeed in entrepreneurship, students need to study diligently, have the willpower to start a business, and know how to integrate with the general trends of the times." He believes that career opportunities are opening up for social science students.

Discussing this issue, Ms. Ngan stated, "Besides professional knowledge, students need to have social relationships and build a trustworthy personal image. This is demonstrated in their studies and social activities."

Ms. Nhữ Thị Ngần shared the experiences that students need to have to start a business.

At the seminar, Mr. Huy Khoi donated 10 million VND to the "Green Torch" fund to support students in their studies and scientific research.

Following the Q&A session with the speaker, there were several teamwork games for the students. Each game offered a lesson about the essential qualities of a successful entrepreneur.

This mini-game section is for students.

The seminar provided an opportunity for students to listen to the experiences of senior students – those who have succeeded in entrepreneurship. Students could gain insight into the opportunities and challenges they face in their future entrepreneurial endeavors. At the same time, questions and concerns from the new K62 students were also answered.
