The event featured Master Ho Thi Xuan Huy, Co-founder of SAIGONGIVE and journalist, an experienced speaker in social sciences, communications, and education.

Opening the program, Ms. Xuan Huy raised thought-provoking questions to help participants reflect on three core concepts: field of study, job, and career. She emphasized that a field of study provides foundational knowledge, a job is the specific work done daily, and a career is a long-term journey marked by personal values and achievements built over time. As AI reshapes operational models across all sectors, clearly distinguishing these concepts enables young people to take a proactive approach to their future paths.
Students actively engaged in a lively discussion with the speaker.
In addition, the speaker conducted an in-depth analysis of AI application capabilities, an increasingly essential requirement across all professions. Rather than fearing AI replacement, Ms. Xuan Huy encouraged students to view AI as an effective assistant that enhances productivity and unleashes creativity. Critical thinking, the ability to ask the right questions, and skills in leveraging AI tools effectively will serve as major competitive advantages in today’s job market.
