INDEC TOP-UP ONLINE FAIR 2023

When the world’s economy is changing rapidly, along with the career trends have also shifted to technology-driven jobs with more than 75% of companies looking to adopt technologies such as big data, cloud computing and AI in the next five years & the analytical thinking is considered a core skill by more companies than any other skills and constitutes, on average, 9% of the core skills reported by companies (World Economics Forum report, 2023), more and more students have desire to pursue a new and more specialized field of study to catch up with the trend of the labor market.

Especially for students in their 2nd and 3rd year, after experiencing the Vietnamese educational system, they realize that studying in Vietnam is not suitable enough to equip them with the suitable knowledge and skills to respond to the rapid changes of the labor market. As a result, they wish to continue their studies in the countries that possess advanced educational institutions, including the UK, to upgrade their analytical thinking ability & build their career path in a more suitable direction.
