According to the Rector of Dai Nam University, in the context of a rapidly developing society, especially under the strong impact of artificial intelligence (AI), many jobs can be supported or replaced by technology. However, values related to empathy, the ability to listen, understand, and connect with other people still play a particularly important role.

This is also why the demand for psychological counseling, consultation, and therapy professionals is increasing rapidly, opening up many opportunities for the development of the psychology field in the future.

Associate Professor Dr. Dao Thi Thu Giang believes that to become competent psychological counselors, students should not only learn from books but also need to be exposed to real-life situations and work with specific individuals to hone their skills, professional competence, and maturity in the process of practicing their profession.

Therefore, expanding cooperation with specialized units is crucial in creating a practical and experiential environment for students right from their time in university.

Dai Nam University has signed a cooperation agreement with MINDCARE Vietnam Co., Ltd., Happy Early Intervention System, and the Child Psychological Counseling and Therapy Office, expanding practical opportunities for psychology students.

At the program, representatives from partner organizations, including Mr. Vu Ngoc Khoa, Director of MINDCARE Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Mr. Nguyen Tien Dat, General Director of Happy Early Intervention System (Happy Education); and Ms. Nguyen Thi Hanh, Head of the Representative Office of the Child Psychological Counseling and Therapy Office, all expressed their hope that the cooperative relationship would contribute to training a team of psychology experts with professional expertise, practical skills, and professional ethics, meeting the growing needs of society.

Dr. Pham Thi Hong Phuong - Head of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences - hopes that through this cooperation program, students of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences will have more opportunities for practical training, internships, and professional experience at specialized units.

The signing of this cooperation agreement further affirms the training orientation of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, following a model that closely integrates the classroom with professional practice.

In addition to foundational knowledge in psychology, counseling, therapy, and educational science, students are given opportunities to participate in practical activities, internships, and professional experiences at hospitals, counseling centers, educational institutions, and partner organizations from the early years of their training program.

The curriculum is designed to enhance experiential learning, combining theory, practice, and case studies, helping students gradually develop professional thinking, communication skills, assessment skills, counseling, and psychological intervention skills.

During their studies, students regularly participate in workshops with experts, career seminars, community service activities, and practical projects, thereby accumulating experience and enhancing their ability to adapt to the work environment after graduation.
