Building a learning roadmap to adapt to the changing labor market
The labor market is increasingly competitive, requiring young people not only to be proficient in their profession but also to actively learn and improve their skills to adapt and develop.
In the context of the constantly changing labor market under the impact of digital transformation, artificial intelligence and increasingly high requirements from businesses, professional knowledge alone is not enough to create a competitive advantage.
According to experts and employers, young people need to proactively build a long-term learning roadmap, combining lecture hall knowledge with skills training and career thinking to be ready to adapt to new market requirements.
Mr. Do Ngoc Son - Director of ST Lighthouse Soft Skills Academy - believes that young people should build a learning roadmap in a scientific way, not only focusing on professional knowledge but also investing in developing necessary skills.
I think about 40% of knowledge comes from university, and 60% is the skills you need to learn outside. That does not mean underestimating the value of studying in the lecture hall, but to see that besides expertise, there are still many things to improve," Mr. Do Ngoc Son shared.
Mr. Do Ngoc Son said that skills such as foreign languages, communication, presentation, teamwork, building relationships, personal marketing, building personal brands or real-world thinking are all important factors to help young people develop their careers.
One of the very important skills is real-world thinking and career thinking. Difference can lead, so you need to constantly learn and improve more skills besides the knowledge in school," Mr. Do Ngoc Son emphasized.
From a business perspective, Mr. Le Minh Tu (Head of QC group concurrently in charge of Project Recruitment Department, Vincons Construction Investment and Development Joint Stock Company) said that besides expertise, businesses are currently particularly interested in the adaptability and learning spirit of candidates.
Each business has its own culture and operating methods, so employees need to be able to integrate, coordinate with colleagues and follow working procedures to develop their abilities.
In addition to expertise, businesses especially value the ability to adapt to the working environment, teamwork skills and the spirit of learning. Each business has its own culture and operating methods, so the ability to integrate, work in groups and comply with common procedures will help employees promote their abilities well," shared Mr. Le Minh Tu.
Mr. Le Minh Tu also recommends that young people should prepare themselves with a solid professional foundation, and at the same time practice health, will and a lifelong learning spirit.
The current labor market changes very quickly, so adaptability, perseverance and constantly improving personal capacity will be factors that help create advantages in the process of finding a job as well as developing a career.
Experts believe that in the coming years, recruitment demand will not only stop at qualifications but will increasingly focus on practical ability, learning ability and adaptability.
Building a clear learning roadmap, constantly updating knowledge and practicing skills will be the key to helping young people improve their competitiveness and be ready for changes in the labor market.
