Taking part in charity work and soft skill clubs, students have a chance to gain behavioral competencies, designed to enhance their interactions, job performance and career prospects.

Chu Son Kiet, a student of Course 53, Construction Department, Head of Youth Skill Club under Nha Trang University Students’ Association says the Youth Skill Club was founded in 2010 with 7 members which have increased to over 50.

The club activities aim to provide students with necessary skills in life, including communication skills, personal effectiveness, strategic thinking, team building, influencing skills, selling skills, etc.

The club has meetings twice a week on Thursday and Sunday. Beside providing knowledge, the club trains its members in practical capacities such as selling flowers, newspapers, cosmetics and so on.

The club provides opportunities for the youth to meet, learn and share experience.

Nguyen Quang Trung, a club member says, “Before taking part in the club, I used to be shy in school activities. The club helps me to be much more confident. One year ago, I founded a student club designed to hold sporting and cultural activities for the school.”

The Youth Skill Club is considered a link for students to search for part-time jobs.  About 200 students ask for the club’s job search assistance per year on average.

In addition, the club has joined social work at Khanh Hoa Provincial Social Service Center and Nha Trang SOS Children Village.

Moreover, the club has also joined clean-up effort along Nha Trang Beach, cycling campaigns, the program for the lovely sea and islands, etc.
