About this Event
EVENT DESCRIPTION
This event aims to empower the Vietnamese community by connecting newcomers with successful Vietnamese professionals in the education field. By featuring speakers who understand the community's unique challenges and aspirations, we provide culturally relevant and practical guidance on career opportunities, professional development, and navigating the education sector. Through essential resources and support, participants will benefit from direct exchanges and valuable insights tailored to their cultural context. The event also fosters a sense of belonging by creating a space where community members can connect, share their stories, and build professional networks. This not only empowers individuals within the Vietnamese community but also strengthens communal ties, and promotes collective growth and success.
SUMMARY

Additionally, they will gain insights and advice on employment in the education industry, and engage in dialogues with Vietnamese speakers and experts about the potential in the field.
