HÀ NỘI The 2024 NEU Career Week, organised by the National Economics University in Hà Nội on Sunday, brought together students and businesses, with many future career opportunities.

Many notable speakers in their respective fields also arrived at events to inspire students and share experiences.

The Career Week at the National Economics University (NEU) is an annual event designed to facilitate connections between the university, its students, and businesses, aligning the training process with societal needs.

Themed "Adapting Human Resources to Globalisation," NEU Career Week 2024 aims to address trends and challenges in economic and labour globalisation. It emphasises the development of both soft and technical skills essential for students to thrive in the global workforce.

The event provides a platform for students to network, exchange ideas and engage with alumni and businesses to explore employment opportunities and research collaborations.

The opening ceremony featured representatives from the university, the Youth Union, the Student Association, and over 40 representatives from various business units and collaborating media. Nearly 400 students from the National Economics University were also in attendance.

Hiếu also expressed sincere gratitude to the businesses and expressed the desire for continued close collaboration in the future.
