Dai Nam University has participated in training human resources for the health sector since 2013 with 3 majors: Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing.

Unlike other professions, through time and economic - political - social fluctuations, Medicine - Pharmacy and Nursing have always been the majors that attract the most attention from learners. The proof is that in 2021, there were 36,816 admission targets for health schools while the number of registered wishes was 223,163, more than 6 times higher.

The Health Sector is the core training axis of Dai Nam University, with strong investment in developing the teaching staff, training programs, infrastructure systems... and clinical training cooperation activities at hospitals and pharmaceutical enterprises.

According to statistics from the Department of Higher Education - Ministry of Education and Training, the Health sector is in the Top 10 "hottest" university majors in 2021 with 129.94% (NV1/quota)

The position of the Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing industry is not only measured by input quality (highest admission score, with its own quality assurance threshold), length of study and output quality, but is also affirmed through the position and role of this profession in society.

The learning environment of the Health Department of Dai Nam University is highly appreciated and satisfied by students.

The more society develops, the more people need to care for and protect their health. The negative side of industrialization also brings many risks to human health, such as cancer, epidemics, and new dangerous diseases. Only healthcare can ensure human health, making life safer and better quality.

In addition, Medicine - Pharmacy and Nursing are professions with outstanding job opportunities compared to other professions in society. Doctors, pharmacists and nurses have high salaries and opportunities for career advancement. In particular, no matter how the economy - politics - society changes, it does not affect the role and function of the health sector too much.

Training quality is the factor that makes the reputation of DNU's Health sector.

In particular, since the Covid-19 pandemic appeared, the demand for jobs in the health sector has skyrocketed. Industries such as health care and medical services have become more in need of human resources than ever.

Information Technology – Top 3 industries with the HIGHEST salaries in Vietnam

According to Vietnamwork - the largest recruitment website in Vietnam, along with the strong development of technology and the Internet, IT is an indispensable part of any company or business. In particular, under the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government promotes digital transformation, technology 4.0; businesses invest in technology platforms; new businesses in the IT field are emerging more and more, leading to fierce competition and insufficient demand for human resources.

Besides the Health sector, IT is one of the key fields of study that Dai Nam University has invested in developing.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, each year, the IT industry needs about 80,000 - 100,000 employees. Meanwhile, the number of IT graduates is only 30,000 people/year. The demand for recruitment in the IT industry from 2017 to now is at its highest level in history. Currently, there are nearly 15,000 jobs in this field being recruited and this number will continue to increase. By 2020, our country will need about 1.2 million IT employees, the number is still short of about 400,000 people and it is estimated that in 2021 it will be 500,000 people.

With an average salary of nearly 20 million VND/month, IT ranks 3rd in the group of 10 highest-paying professions in Vietnam, just behind Real Estate and Medicine - Pharmacy. In particular, the explosion of the 4th industrial revolution has made this industry even more HOT and attractive to learners.

With the applied training program, after completing the first year, Dai Nam IT students can start working.

Not only does it have potential for domestic development, but IT jobs abroad are also huge. Many network companies are willing to spend over $1,000 to invite programmers, network engineers, hardware engineers, game designers, network security engineers, etc. to work.

According to the General Department of Tourism, Vietnam needs about 40,000 new workers in the tourism sector each year, while the number of graduates in this field is only 15,000 students/year. The tourism industry currently has about 650,000 direct jobs and 2 million indirect jobs, and the number of management workers is expected to increase by 25% each year. However, the trained and qualified tourism workforce is still low, so businesses have to spend time retraining.

Dai Nam University is the only university in the North that owns a system of 3-star, 4-star, 5-star practice hotels and a travel center to both do tourism business and serve as a practice facility for students.

Tourism is a key economic sector in Vietnam. Vietnam has diverse and rich tourism potential. The hotel and restaurant tourism market in Vietnam is developing strongly and hotter than ever. This industry trains human resources to work in a professional, classy environment, luxurious, civilized space, wide communication and a much higher income than the general employment level of society.

With the model of practical hotel and travel center, students of Dai Nam Tourism Faculty can practice their profession right from the first year with total practice time up to 50% of study time.

The tourism and hotel management industry will give you many opportunities to interact and meet people from all over the world. This is a smart choice for young, dynamic people who love to learn and explore.

It can be said that business activities and enterprises in Vietnam have never developed as they do today. In the small and medium-sized enterprise sector alone, we have about 200,000 enterprises. Large enterprises, joint ventures, and enterprises operating abroad are also developing very well. This is an opportunity in terms of the number of jobs in this industry but also poses a huge challenge in terms of the quality of human resources.

E-commerce - supply cannot meet demand

At the evaluation of the training program of the e-commerce major of Dai Nam University, Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Huyen - Deputy Director of the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy, commented that this is one of the hot majors; the leading and promising choice of dynamic young people in the context of the digital economy 4.0.

In 2021, Dai Nam University officially enrolls students in the E-commerce major.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Huyen added that currently, training facilities have not met the human resource needs of this industry. Supply does not meet demand, forcing agencies and businesses to recruit in the wrong field and waste time and money retraining personnel to meet job requirements.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Minh - a pioneer in opening the e-commerce industry in Vietnam also affirmed: "High-quality human resources to meet the needs in the national digital transformation process are still very lacking."

As an employer, Mr. Nguyen Duc Dung - Deputy General Director of Vietnam Commodity Exchange said: “We have to continuously recruit and train but still lack high-quality personnel to take on key positions. The demand for human resources in the e-commerce industry in the digital age is very large…”

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam is currently considered one of the fastest growing e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia. In addition, with a population of over 95 million people, a high proportion of young people and those with high Internet access, this is the basis for the Vietnamese e-commerce market to continue to grow in the future.

Automotive Engineering Technology – a promising field of study in the 4.0 era

The demand for human resources in the automotive engineering industry is always high; even the world's leading auto brands such as BMW, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Audi,... in Vietnam regularly recruit but supply still cannot meet demand.

Automotive Engineering Technology is one of three new majors of Dai Nam University officially enrolling in 2021.

In particular, the "storm" named VinFast - the "made in Vietnam" car brand launched on the market continues to bring positive signals to the automotive engineering technology industry.

In a world of increasingly diverse professions, the enduring appeal of the Automotive Engineering Technology industry comes from the intersection of the industrialized labor market and the passion for “mastering technology” of young Vietnamese people. This is also one of the professions ranked in terms of salary and career advancement opportunities.

Public relations (PR) and multimedia communications (MMC) – huge demand for human resources

According to the statistics of the wishes of 15 out of 24 groups of majors enrolled in 2021 by the Department of Higher Education - Ministry of Education and Training, comparing the ratio of NV1/quota, the Journalism and Information group (311.65%) ranked 2nd in the Top hottest majors, with the most candidates registered, only after National Security and Defense (566.82%).

The demand for human resources in the field of public administration and information technology in the digital age is very "huge".

Mr. Tran Anh Tuan - Deputy Director of the Center for Human Resource Demand Forecasting and Labor Market Information of Ho Chi Minh City affirmed: "The Journalism and Information industry group, including QHCC and TTĐPT, although the annual training target is high, will not be able to reach saturation in the near future, on the contrary, the demand for human resources is still at a "huge" level..."

Dr. Tran Bao Khanh - Head of the Faculty of Communication, Dai Nam University also commented: "Not only now but also in the future, the field of QHCC and TTĐPT has a very high demand for human resources as well as attracts great attention from young people."
