Linking skills-based learning to career opportunities: A case of economics and business administration students in Vietnam

Human resource is an essential factor contributing to the development of enterprises as well as the national economy. However, in Vietnam, the training of human resources still has some limitations. One of those weaknesses is that education has not been significantly associated with actual occupations. Therefore, this article was conducted to analyze why university training does not meet the requirements of enterprises, thereby proposing solutions and recommendations to deal with the problem. The obtained results indicated that students need to focus on improving their professional skills, soft skills, and attitudes at work. Secondly, there should be a change in the educational program at universities to enhance students' skills. Finally, universities and businesses need to build a solid relationship to make training programs relevant to reality activities. Thus, students, schools, companies, and authorities together need to take action to improve the quality of human resources in general, especially in the economics and business administration sectors.
