On March 2, 2025, the workshop "Ai Làm Công, Ai Làm Chủ" was successfully held with enthusiastic participation from the students of SouthStar Management Institute. The event provided practical insights into the choice between entrepreneurship and working in a corporate environment. It was particularly lively with the Golden Debate competition – a first-time debate arena that allowed students to showcase their critical thinking and creative perspectives on the topic of entrepreneurship versus employment in Vietnam's evolving landscape.

SouthStar Management Institute extends heartfelt thanks to the three Founders & Co-Founders of the participating companies for their invaluable contributions. Their presence enriched the students' knowledge and experience, preparing them for the labor market after graduation. The speakers shared their experiences and stories about the challenges and opportunities of starting a business. Special thanks to Mr. Van Le Viet Duy – CCO & Co-Founder of Hilab Technology, Mr. Le Duc Nguyen – Founder of Khói Group, Co-Founder of Trade Food & Jido Digital, and Ms. Nguyen Thi Nghia – Co-Founder & COO of Do Agency. We wish their companies continued success in the future.

Additionally, a special thank you goes to all the students of SouthStar Management Institute! Your enthusiasm, active participation, insightful questions, and energetic debates made this workshop a success. We hope that after the program, you have gained valuable lessons and feel more confident on your career path ahead.
