Faculty of Soft Skills Training and Development – Where Dai Nam University trains individuals who know how to live, work, and go the distance.

In a society where knowledge can quickly become outdated, what helps people stand firm is not just academic qualifications, but also life skills, work skills, and resilience in the face of pressure. Dai Nam University (DNU) chooses to train students not only to be "skilled in their profession," but first and foremost to be mature individuals. The Faculty of Soft Skills is where this educational philosophy is realized.

Knowledge is a necessary condition, but it is never a sufficient one.

For many years, higher education has faced an unavoidable reality: many graduates possess specialized knowledge but struggle in real life. They may excel on exams but have difficulty working in teams; they may answer questions correctly but lack the ability to express their thoughts clearly; they have degrees but lack the capacity to adapt to pressure and change.

Dai Nam University confronts this reality head-on and poses a fundamental question: Is university education about imparting knowledge, or about training individuals who can live and work sustainably in society?

Dai Nam University's answer is clear: Knowledge is the foundation, but human capabilities are the decisive factor in determining how far a student can go. Based on this choice, the Faculty of Soft Skills has been established as a crucial pillar in achieving the desired outcomes for DNU students.

Faculty of Soft Skills Training and Development, Dai Nam University – where students learn to master themselves.

At Dai Nam University, soft skills are not just supplementary or 형식적인 (formalistic) lessons. This is an educational environment where students are trained to become mature individuals before becoming professional workers.

Students learn how to communicate coherently and appropriately within academic and professional contexts; they learn how to work in teams not only to complete tasks, but also to listen, collaborate, respect differences, and work together towards common goals. They learn how to present, debate, and defend their viewpoints with logic instead of avoiding or imposing their opinions.

Most importantly, the Soft Skills Department helps students learn how to manage themselves: managing time, managing emotions, managing pressure, and even coping with early setbacks. In a rapidly changing world where the work environment is constantly evolving, this is a crucial survival skill that helps young people avoid collapsing from the initial shocks of entering society.

Dai Nam University understands that certain skills cannot be memorized or tested in a single session, yet they determine the outcome of a long journey. The Soft Skills Department is where these skills are cultivated persistently and systematically.

From "being able to get things done" to "being trusted" – the profound value of soft skills education.

Dai Nam University doesn't train students just to "get the job done," but to be trustworthy. A young person with good soft skills not only completes assigned tasks but also keeps their word, takes responsibility, cooperates, and creates a positive work environment.

Through soft skills courses, students are placed in situations that require them to think, choose, and take responsibility for their decisions. They are not sheltered to become weak, but neither are they pressured to become rigid. This is how Dai Nam University cultivates personal character – something quiet but enduring.

At a deeper level, the Soft Skills Department contributes to shaping the identity of Dai Nam University students: confident but not arrogant; proactive but not undisciplined; dynamic but restrained; daring to express themselves but also knowing how to listen. These are values that cannot be measured by grades, but are the most important "output" of education.

While specialized departments help students answer the question "What profession will I pursue?", the Soft Skills Department helps students answer a larger question: "How will I perform that profession, and what kind of person will I become in the process?"

Educating people – a lasting and unique choice of Dai Nam University.

In its educational philosophy, Dai Nam University does not view education as merely the transmission of knowledge, but rather as accompanying learners on their journey of growth. The Faculty of Soft Skills is clear evidence of this choice: quietly, steadfastly, and with a focus on long-term value.

Because, ultimately, what Dai Nam University aims for is not just graduates who find employment, but individuals who know how to live decent lives, work responsibly, and possess the resilience to go the distance in life.
