Through the selection process, 10 DynaGen students have participated in this special program, each student has 5 coaching sessions, including 01 overview session, 01 group coaching session and 03 individual coaching sessions. The program is conducted by Ms. D.T.Q - Communications Director of Navigos Group and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and Executive Coach.
In a 2-month period, through 5 working sessions with experts, 10 DynaGen Initiative students completed the Career Coaching program. Through exercises to determine self-values, determine career values, explore personal interests, Personal SWOT, Boost Your Strengths, Weakness Zapper, etc. the program has helped students to recognize themselves, transform mindsets, perception and attitude in order to take actions to get closer to the career goals that students choose.
“From the first session, Ms. Q encouraged me to explore, learn and be self-aware of my own thoughts through open questions. After participating in the program, I feel much more comfortable thinking about the problems and challenges I face and I am ready to face them. The program has created a quiet environment to focus on myself, helping me to consider and evaluate the options that come from my inner desires.” – Shared by N.M.D, the student of Banking Academy.

Thanks to Ms. Q’s suggestions, experiences and multi-dimensional perspectives, I understand some life laws and will solve all other problems well." – D.T.H - University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
