FPT Education students and staff across the nation have done several activities and made positive contributions to the community, economy, society, and ecosystem on a daily basis. Let’s take a look at three activities that are attracting FPT Education staff and students’ attention.
FPT International Training Institute has organized a series of learning activities named “Business hours”
The “Business hours” is a series of career-oriented activities, which helps students improve their skills as well as connect with enterprises and job opportunities. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of topics throughout each course, including professional knowledge and essential soft skills in the industry. During the “Business hours”, speakers who are representatives of companies of all sizes and sectors let students participate in “monopoly” talks and discuss “unwritten law” in the workplace. Therefore, students could gain a better understanding of organizational culture.
FPT International Training Institute has helped businesses and students connect and understand each other by organizing and maintaining the “Business hours” as a regular activity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is not only an opportunity to speed up the job search process for students even before graduation but also provided businesses with well-trained human resources. In general, this activity is contributing to promoting sustainable development for society by offering quality jobs and opportunities for youth force Vietnam (SDG8).
FPT Primary & Secondary School on the Da Nang campus takes care of students’ mental health
FPT Da Nang Primary & Secondary School recently held a “Frogs” Mental Health Workshop for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, with the purpose of teaching them how to manage their emotions through an online counseling program. In the workshop, “Com Frogs” learned to define, categorize, and deal with negative emotions, as well as access fundamental relaxation techniques and open up to share their own thoughts.
Health care and mental health care for students are common activities at FPT Edu from elementary to university in order to “ensure a healthy life and well-being for all ages” (SGD 3).
FPT Edu has organized many environmental campaigns.
In June 2020, FPT Education launched the Post-a-tree campaign to convey the message of green living to the general public. The campaign has attracted 444 employees and students of FPT Education, resulting in planting more than 148 trees, thanks to the rule “with 3 images taken with trees posted on Facebook with the hashtag of the campaign, we will help you plant a tree and make the Earth greener”.
In August 2020, FPT Edu continued the “Ke hoach nho” project, which appreciates simple but significant activities of FPT Edu employees and students for protecting the environment, such as reducing plastic bags, planting, and caring for trees, saving energy, and so on. FPT Edu hopes that this campaign will contribute to promoting sustainable consumption (SDG 12), Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (SDG 13), conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development (SDG 14), and protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems (SDG 15).
The “Ke hoach nho” project is part of a series of public relations activities focused on sustainable development in FPT Education. Employees and students can access the link here to participate in the campaign.
