The session concluded with a lively Q&A and discussion session conducted entirely in English, allowing participants to directly discuss real-world scenarios, the practical value of industry-recognized professional certifications, and strategic internships.
Far beyond a mere knowledge-sharing session, the program successfully served as a robust bridge between academia and industry, inspiring an international mindset and a lifelong learning approach on students' career development paths.
