KNM Training Camp 1: Change your attitude, change your life

Attitude or skill?

Knowledge, Skills and Attitude are three criteria for recruiting and evaluating employees of businesses.

Sharing about the reality of recruiting and using human resources in businesses today, most business owners "complain" because it takes too much time, effort and finance to retrain employees. Not only training to reinforce professional knowledge and working skills, businesses also have to retrain attitudes because only a very small number of new graduates pay attention to their attitudes when entering the working environment.

However, knowledge only accounts for 4%, skills 26% and attitude accounts for 70%.

Mr. Luu Van Hau - representative of Zoho Vietnam Technology Group shared: “A staff with good professional capacity but without good qualities, ethics and the right working attitude, without teamwork skills, sooner or later their capacity will be lost, reduced and eliminated. On the contrary, a staff with a positive, progressive, loyal working spirit, always knowing how to put the interests of the collective above personal interests, even if their starting point of capacity is not as good as others, but later on their level will gradually improve and constantly improve. We absolutely do not recruit and train staff without a good attitude…”

Experts confirm that on the human resource chart, knowledge accounts for only 4%, skills 26% and attitude accounts for 70%. Almost any business only uses workers with good specialized knowledge in low positions - general labor, the higher the position, the more important the factors of skills and attitude become.

DNU students are taught about attitude from the moment they enter school.

After interesting theoretical lessons in class, K14 new students had a valuable and emotional day experiencing Soft Skills Training Camp 1 (KNM1).

The rate of graduates who have jobs and are highly appreciated by businesses is the most accurate and objective reflection of the quality of training at the university. Statistics show that more than 90% of Dai Nam University graduates have jobs in their majors and are highly appreciated by businesses. This is the desired number of many universities.

At Dai Nam University, students are taught about life attitude, work attitude, communication skills, teamwork skills, presentation skills, negotiation skills... right from the moment they enter the school. Soft skills lessons in class, soft skills camp experiences throughout the semesters have helped Dai Nam University students understand that "attitude is more important than qualifications".

With KNM1 Training Camp, students get more practice and experience.

Following the interesting theoretical lessons in class, K14 students of Dai Nam University entered the KNM1 training program. With the theme “challenge yourself”, the first-year students confidently broke down their own barriers, equipping themselves with many useful soft skills (teamwork skills, time management skills, solidarity, perseverance, persistence, gratitude, the right attitude towards life and having clear goals...)

Through 3 experiential sessions, first-year students confidently broke down their own barriers and equipped themselves with useful knowledge and skills.

Through 3 experiential sessions with 3 clear purposes, the morning emphasizes knowledge; the afternoon focuses on skill development and the evening experiences emotions and changes attitudes, KNM Training Camp 1 brings many useful experiences to students.

Vu Phuong Thao - class YDK 14-02, Faculty of Medicine shared: “KNM1 training camp is a very fun and interesting form of competition. We - first-year students who are still unfamiliar with the new learning environment, get to experience and explode with all our energy. In each game, the whole team has to apply skills such as teamwork, time management, listening to teammates, perseverance, endurance... The subject helps me see the importance of skills in practice and learning while playing is a particularly attractive teaching method of Dai Nam University that I have experienced for the first time..."

Participating in the KNM1 Training Camp, K14 students experience the discipline, seriousness, and harshness of the military camp; the fun, relaxation, cooperation, and teamwork of the summer camp.

Most of the students interviewed said that this was the first time they had participated in a KNM training program. With exciting and vibrant activities; new learning methods; and a friendly learning atmosphere, the KNM training camp helped students realize who they are, become more confident, and learn many important skills. In particular, this is also a playground to help connect students. Students from different classes and majors have the opportunity to connect, work in groups, and have become closer and more united even though they are not in the same class or department...

Ability to unite and coordinate teamwork.

Through each station, each barrier, students confidently broke down their own barriers, equipped themselves with teamwork skills and experienced emotions to the fullest.

Sharing about the KNM1 Training Camp, Mr. Pham Van Minh - Soft Skills Department said: The KNM Training Camp is not a form of "new learning" but a form of "experience" with the purpose of bringing theoretical lessons in class into practical activities. With the combination of military camp and summer camp, participating in the KNM1 Training Camp, K14 students experience the discipline, seriousness, and harshness of the military camp; the fun, relaxation, cooperation, and teamwork of the summer camp.

With exciting and engaging competitions, new students from different faculties were randomly paired up and confidently broke down all barriers, came closer together, shared the same heart, shared the same goal and will to conquer the challenges...

The evening was filled with emotions.
