S – Skill

This block offers additional benefits to VinUni students, providing them with a self-learning platform and a series of structured micro-learning skills workshops, organized on-demand to prepare them for college and career readiness. Participation at Career Readiness Checkpoint (CRC) is mandatory.

As a component of the IDP, students are required to create a personalized desired skillset and a roadmap to bridge their skills gap. SAM will arrange skill-specific workshops (online or offline) based on the results of a skills training needs survey. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the workshops they have registered for.

In the third year of a cohort, there is a 1st CRC, and in the fourth year, a 2nd CRC. CRC events are organized by AID, where students will meet and interview industry mentors and/or career advisors. Career readiness skills will be checked and feedback will be provided to students.

Besides, students will be strongly encouraged to participate in a Training Needs Assessment (a skills survey) to nominate the most sought-after skills they would like to develop in the academic year.
