Female students consult job information at career fair

The forum also organizes a career fair with the aim of providing an initial idea of ​​some future career options.

"I had a great experience participating in the forum. The lessons the forum brings will be valuable lessons that can be applied to life. I learned a lot after participating in the event, the most special thing is to have confidence in myself, dare to think, dare to do, dare to express myself and break my limits", Do Trinh Huyen Trang, an 11th grade student at Vo Truong Toan High School ( Dong Nai province) shared her feelings about the event.

Trang also said that the most impressive saying from the female student during the discussion was "there are no limits, but the limits are set by yourself". This saying inspired Trang to try to become the best version of herself.
