The University has focused on research, conducting surveys and developing a new platform with relevant, scientific, students and businesses-focused with an identified vision for students to approach a source of information and career orientation. In addition, Lab-Movie’s research results also serve as the basis for the University to improve training programs, the quality of high-quality human resources to satisfy the labour market’s needs. After 3 years of research, surveys and report analysis, NTTU has successfully launched the website (labmovie.ntt.edu.vn) which is a technology platform providing in-depth information about professional figures, positions, career development in the ICT sector.

The survey results and statistical data were inclusively presented by Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh

In-depth factors about candidate gender ratio, foreign language proficiency, employment contracts, labour demand, positions and challenges in hirings were also identified and analyzed by the research team.

Mr. Tran Binh Hau shared about the European modelled-labour market information platform Lab-Movie

According to Mr. Tran Binh Hau – Head of IT Department, the users of the labmovie.ntt.edu.vn platform are students. Hence, the website was built to be simple and easy to retrieve data. Users can access reports, labor market analysis, in-depth information about the ICT sector such as job positions, job descriptions, salaries, career development, etc. The ultimate goal is to connect and serve as a support tool for NTTU’s job portal, as well as a reference source for students to find information about the current ICT field, with a view to expand its operation in different industries. In addition, the website also has survey forms so our business partners can evaluate and contribute ideas to NTTU to build and improve academic training programs.

The Lab-Movie platform appreciated by businesses as a tool for students and employers to “know’’ each other

In the Q&A session, invited delegates expressed their satisfaction and appreciation for the results that NTTU has achieved. The Lab-Movie platform is a tool for employers and students to gain mutual understanding with an overview of the labor market in the ICT field such as the current recruitment trends and industry requirements. This helps students to plan their own training and career development path, increasing the rate of getting better job offers after graduation. From the employers’ perspectives, they will be able to identify the personality traits of human resources, thereby building tailor-made training plans, work culture and promotion paths for company personnel.

Representatives made recommendations to improve the platform to become an effective tool for students in finding career information

At the event, the research team transferred the research outcomes and the Lab-Movie platform to the Department of Corporate Relations and Job Placement for Students and IT Department of the University. This will be a useful tool for NTTU students to obtain information and career preparation. It is certain that the project will further expand to many other sectors in the near future through the platform: labmovie.ntt.edu.vn.
