On the afternoon of November 16, at the Tran Chi Dao Auditorium - Headquarters of VNUHCM, VNUHCM solemnly organized the Opening Ceremony for the academic year 2023. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended as a guest speaker. The Prime Minister delivered a presentation on the theme "Higher education and the role of motivating rapid and sustainable growth for the country in the new period." He emphasized the role of higher education in developing the workforce, especially a high-quality workforce, which plays a decisive role in the prosperity of each nation. According to the Prime Minister, we are building the country on three main pillars: constructing a state of socialist law, building a democratic socialist society, and developing a market-oriented socialist economy. Throughout these pillars, humans are the core, the subject, the driving force, the resource, and the goal for development. "Educational and training, in general, and higher education, in particular, play a crucial role in promoting development and enhancing intellectual standards. It is especially the place that provides highly educated human resources and nurtures talents to meet the requirements of socio-economic development," stated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. Addressing the students, the Prime Minister affirmed that the Party and the State always care and create the best conditions for you to study, train, research, and innovate; equipping you with the most complete tools to enter life and become global citizens. "You are the future owners of the country. During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh, the great national hero and world cultural celebrity, once asserted: 'Youth are the future owners of the country... Whether the country is prosperous or declining, weak or strong, much depends on the youth.' With aspirations and enthusiasm for dedication, you need to uphold the pioneering tradition in studying, scientific research, innovation, and contribute to realizing the ambition of building a prosperous and happy country," advised Prime Minister. The Prime Minister hopes that students of VNUHCM will be proactive, actively self-study, conduct research, explore, innovate, enhance personal capabilities, set clear study and research goals, develop self-learning skills, and improve professional competence.

The powerful badges have been delivered into the hands of the "conquerors" of the Trainee Program 2023. These badges symbolize the authority and responsibility of the trainees. With these credentials, trainees will have the opportunity to explore and experience new territories in the "Land of Elements" alongside the Computer Science Student Association. The "Skills" territory, with the mischievous and playful Spirit of the RABBIT, warmly welcomed our first explorers. This is where knowledge about essential soft skills in life is explored, serving as the foundation for all other fields. Grasping it will be like "tiger gaining wings," making it easier to conquer the upcoming journey full of challenges. Moreover, during the first meeting session, trainees had the chance to meet their guides and bond with fellow explorers - indispensable companions on the upcoming journey. The connection between trainees is a crucial factor that will contribute to success in conquering new territories, so take advantage of this opportunity to connect with new friends and together face the challenges ahead. The Trainee Program is designed to impart fundamental knowledge to UIT students interested in areas such as systems, communications, events, and skills (including skills needed for studying at UIT and those essential for future professions). In the Trainee Program, participating students take on the role of trainees (apprentices). You will have one month of learning, working on small projects together with the guidance of trainers, who are members of the Computer Science Student Association. All UIT students can register to become trainees.
