There are many ways to help Vietnamese students be better prepared for their future careers.
Many schools in Vietnam teach some life skills such as teamwork and communication. However,
students want to learn more so they can have more opportunities in their future careers. At a workshop
last week, one student told me he wished his school taught Japanese so that he could study engineering
in Japan. I told him to take an online course. Another student wished she had better writing skills. My
advice to her was to write as much as possible every day, and to join an online writers club. Today, it’s

Career Preparation
Although you may think you are too young to worry about your future career, it is important that
you start thinking about your life after high school right now so that you can take the steps necessary
to any career you may choose. Some of these steps include choosing the right high school, enrolling
in the necessary courses, earning good grades, getting work experience and building a resume. It can
seem overwhelming trying to choose a career before you complete high school, but always keep in
mind that it is never too late to change your career path and no one says you have to decide now.
There are lots of different factors that go into choosing a career path. To determine the occupation
you want to enter, you need to consider your interests, how long you want to be in school, how much

Each day you make many decisions - what to wear, who to hang out with, how to spend your time
after school. Some of the decisions you make today can affect you for the rest of your life. Once you
have figured out the things you like to do and the things you do well, you can begin exploring careers
that include your interests and skills. Make a plan from the beginning, and once you have a plan,
work the plan. Do the steps along the way each year to keep on track toward graduation and higher
education.
