HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Samsung Vina Electronics Company and the General Sciences Library of HCM City launched a competition called "Level up – Soft skill opening the future" to help students develop their soft skills.

Starting late last week, it tests four skills — brainstorming, teamwork, leadership, and presentation — considered important for young people to work well at a time when the country is rapidly integrating.

Tran Anh Tuan, deputy director of HCM City's Human Resource Forecast and Information Centre, said 70 per cent of graduate students lacked foreign language and soft skills.

Many people graduate with good scores but are not competent at work whereas someone could have got poor scores but are successful thanks to soft skills, said Tuan.

According to organisers, the competition offers contestants a chance to learn from teachers with rich experience.

It will go on until the end of July.

The first round is available online at http://www.s-hub.vn. — VNS
