The "Social Impact Communication" Training Course

The "Social Impact Communication” Training Course is the next activity of the DynaGen Initiative, scheduled for April 20, 2024. The workshop aims to provide students with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills, maximize their potential, and elevate their awareness and responsibility in engaging in social activities. Nearly 100 students in Hanoi directly participated in practical exercises, developing effective communication plans for 8 hypothetical projects. Despite coming from various fields such as communications, economics, education, healthcare, finance, social work, business administration, journalism, and psychology. etc. the students shared a common interest in societal issues. Through methods like discussions, presentations and teamwork, the future "communications professionals" gained understanding of communication definitions, the distinction between social impact communication and conventional communication, and learned to deliver messages effectively.

In May and June 2024, the Office Tour program was also implemented. The program aims to provide students with the opportunity to experience a professional work environment, learn about corporate culture and explore job opportunities at business, organizations. The program attracted nearly 100 students from universities in Hanoi. It offered students the chance to visit at 5 units including For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF), UN Women, TH Group, VietCycle Joint Stock Company, and An Phat Holdings Group.

In addition to visiting departments and learning about the business development process and organizational culture, through the program, students also had the opportunity to directly hear career development experiences shared by business and organizational leaders. Furthermore, students were able to have their questions and concerns about job opportunities and the recruitment process of enterprises answered. This helped students gain a competitive advantage when applying for jobs.

Therefore, DynaGen Initiative Program (year 2023 – 2024) has concluded with impressive results:

DYNAGEN IMPLEMENTING MULTIPLE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES

By Vu Xuan Thai | Project Manager

Community Initiative

After launching the “2023 For Community Initiative” in December 2023, DynaGen Initiative received nearly 40 initiatives submitted by students nationwide. We selected 15 initiatives for the Debate Round. After careful consideration and discussion, the judging committee has chosen 5 initiatives that best fit the program's criteria for financial support and technical assistance for implementation. These initiatives focus on addressing issues such as fire prevention and fighting, gender equality, sexual health, and the environment. The initiatives will be implemented until the end of April 2024.

On December 26, 2023, the training course "Decoding yourself - Unlocking your career" was the next activity organized within the framework of DynaGen Initiative Season 4. Through the training course, students had the opportunity to explore and understand their personalities, goals, and passions through various exercises. Additionally, they also practiced exercises on critical thinking and goal management, contributing to their career orientation in the future.

On January 6, 2024, the training course "Conquering Employers" was conducted. During this course, students were introduced to the job market trends in Vietnam for 2024 and 2025, learned how to write an impressive CV, acquired skills to impress employers during job interviews, and discovered strategies to overcome the two-month probationary period in companies.

In February 2024, DynaGen Initiative commenced the Career Mentoring Program. This program is designed specifically for DynaGen Initiative students with the aim of providing them with a clear direction for their careers, accessing to many opportunities, and gaining practical experience in their fields through 1-1 connections with mentors. Nearly 200 students registered to participate in the program, with over 100 mentors from various fields and reputable businesses and organizations.

In the current competitive job market, alongside professional knowledge, soft skills are also the top factor attracting attention from employers. Understanding the desires and expectations of students as well as recognizing the importance of soft skills, on March 23, DynaGen Initiative launched the training course "Becoming a leader". The training course aims to help students grasp knowledge and skills such as planning, communication and presentation, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving; thereby, helping students be more confident in participate in the job market.
