FBA Mentoring Season 4 Opening Ceremony and Seminar: “A Journey of Growth in the Era of Transformation – Building a Sustainable Mindset”
On the afternoon of November 7, 2026, at Hall 6M, Ton Duc Thang University, the FBA Mentoring Club under the Faculty of Business Administration successfully organized the Opening Ceremony of FBA Mentoring Season 4 & the seminar “A Journey of Growth in the Era of Transformation – Building a Sustainable Mindset.” The program was designed to help students develop a standardized understanding of adaptability skills, grasp the role of technology and AI in the workplace, and build a sustainable career development mindset in the face of the rapid fluctuations of the labor market.
Attending the program on behalf of the Faculty of Business Administration was Dr. Phung Minh Tuan – Acting Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration.
As guest speakers for the seminar, the program was honored to have the company and insights of two Mentors:
- Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh – Ho Chi Minh Region Recruitment Manager, FPT Telecom Joint Stock Company (FPT Telecom);
- Ms. La Thi Xuan Vy – Sustainability Manager, Jones Lang LaSalle Vietnam Co., Ltd. (JLL Vietnam).
In addition, the program welcomed a team of experienced Mentors who are accompanying the program in the new season.
Representing the FBA Mentoring Club, the program was attended by Mr. Vo Cao Thang – Club Advisor, Management Trainee at Truong Minh Thinh Technology Joint Stock Company.
Opening the program, Dr. Phung Minh Tuan – Acting Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration – encouraged today’s students to cultivate a proactive learning mindset and adaptability in the face of technological change, so as to be ready to integrate into the global environment. He also expressed deep pride in the growth journey of the FBA Mentoring Club – a club that persistently builds connections and has become a solid academic support for students.
As part of the seminar “A Journey of Growth in the Era of Transformation – Building a Sustainable Mindset,” the two guest speakers in turn offered in-depth, practical perspectives on two aspects: career development in a modern environment and building a sustainable mindset amid the wave of technology.
Starting the seminar sharing, Ms. La Thi Xuan Vy – Sustainability Manager (JLL Vietnam) guided students in exploring how to build a sustainable mindset with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) in the technological era. According to her, given the rapid pace of digital transformation, students need not only to know how to apply AI as a tool to optimize their study and work performance, but, more importantly, to maintain critical thinking, lifelong learning ability, and sustainable core values in order to master technology rather than be led by it. The combination of a sustainable mindset, AI tools, and guidance from Mentors will be a solid launchpad for Mentees to proactively make choices and confidently step forward on their future career journey.
Continuing the sharing, Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh – Ho Chi Minh Region Recruitment Manager (FPT Telecom) delivered an in-depth talk on the journey of self-development in a modern environment. He analyzed the new requirements of the labor market for young professionals, and pointed out how learners can cultivate a sharp mindset, clearly define their direction, and make the most of opportunities in the technological era. He also emphasized the role of Mentorship: even when young people have ability, youthful energy, and aspiration, having a suitable Mentor alongside them helps them recognize blind spots, learn from real-life experience, and shorten the journey of positioning themselves.
At the session, students also gained a clearer understanding of how the Mentoring model operates, as well as the roles and responsibilities of each party involved. Representatives of the Club shared the specific roadmap of the program and guided students on how to set personal goals that suit their future career orientation.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more lively with a live Q&A session between students and the two speakers, Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh and Ms. La Thi Xuan Vy. Questions about how to cultivate a sustainable mindset amid the wave of transformation, how to identify a suitable direction, and the proactiveness of Mentees in their self-development journey were answered thoughtfully, giving students more practical perspectives to make effective use of the Mentoring relationship.
A lively highlight of the program was the group discussion to solve a challenge (case-solving) from the Organizing Committee. With the dedicated support of the Mentors, the teams sharply analyzed the situation and came up with optimal solutions. Having successfully overcome the challenge questions, the winning teams confidently took the stage to present and defend their viewpoints before the entire hall, directly experiencing the value of guidance and teamwork with the Mentors.
The Opening Ceremony and the seminar “A Journey of Growth in the Era of Transformation – Building a Sustainable Mindset” came to a successful close, officially marking the start of the Mentor – Mentee connection and companionship journey in the new season. Through this, the FBA Mentoring Club continues to play its role as a solid bridge, helping strengthen ties among students, alumni, former trainees, and the experts and entrepreneurs who accompany the Faculty of Business Administration – TDTU.
