150 female students from a variety of fields in saigonchildren’s Scholarship Programme gathered to listen to an in-depth workshop from
Skills Bridge about improving communication skills and expanding professional networks. They also had the opportunity to practice these skills directly afterwards with peers and volunteer mentors from companies like
Intel and
The Access Group.
After enjoying some light refreshments and sweet treats sponsored by
Bakes French Pastry, the programme continued with a session on recognising and managing stress, led by the Special Needs Education Programme Manager of saigonchildren, to help the students learn how to take care of their mental health, specifically dealing with everyday stress.
Girls’ Gathering was not only an opportunity for students to continue networking and learning from each other, enhancing their networking skills and expanding their professional network, but also career opportunities.
