UEB - The first starting point on the path of entrepreneurship

 

For many students, university is not only a place to provide a solid knowledge foundation, a place to hone skills and improve themselves, but also a place to connect students, where they can find reliable companions on every journey. So do the two students (Nguyen Huu Dung and his companion Nguyen Xuan Huy) of UEB. Sharing the same ideal and passion, along with the guidance and support from a team of enthusiastic lecturers, the two students are motivated to take on the entrepreneurial spirit. “In order to achieve today's results, we - the competition team have received support from the teachers of VNU - UEB and mentors throughout the process of idea formation and project development. The Business Challenges competition is a memorable experience, a leap for Salework to be successful in the future,” Nguyen Huu Dung proudly shared about UEB - the place where passion is nurtured and raised to maturity.

In addition, UEB lecturers and academic advisors always follow each student's step, ready to accompany and support them on the way. The dedication, dynamism and creativity in the teaching methods of the teachers are the golden keys to open the door to the potential of developing the quality of international standard training, inspiring learning and research for the students.

Business Challenges - Momentum towards success

Focusing on building international seminars and seminars, taking the lead in organizing many dialogue programs, intellectual playgrounds for students, etc. is what the UEB has been implementing in recent years. In recent years, in order to create a real-life experience environment for students. Business Challenges - a competition for business ideas and solving practical business problems, is an annual playground to help economic students get closer to the startup community, develop creative ideas, experience a professional working environment as well as access to many recruitment opportunities of reputable enterprises.

 

Participating in Business Challenges not only helps students master and expand their professional knowledge, but also creates momentum for future development.

Overcoming more than 800 contestants from 30 economics universities, Dung and Huy's Salework team excellently won the top prize at Business Challenges season 5, straight into the fundraising round of Shark Tank Vietnam and continued to excellently win the First Prize of the Startup Competition of Vietnam National University, Hanoi. This is a sales management platform, providing the optimal solution for business owners, and also the first success on the entrepreneurial path of two young and enthusiastic UEB students.

 

After the success at the contest, the story of "fighting" with the actual market would not be that favorable. Difficulties and challenges are indispensable ingredients in the formula for success. “Before coming to the success of Salework, I only knew about losses, continued to invest without really understanding what profits were. But from those failures, in my final year of university, I and my colleagues created Salework - a sales management platform for e-commerce platforms with tens of thousands of people trusting and paying for it. It has also received awards as well as investment invitations from domestic programs and investors.”, two members of the Salework competition team shared about their entrepreneurial journey.

With my best efforts in learning, actively learning from the seniors, leading expert advisors in the profession, flexibly applying book knowledge into practice, after more than 1 year of operation, Salework has received many compliments from experts as well as positive feedback from users. “Salework is an indispensable platform for business people on E-commerce platforms. I am using Salework to manage my shops, I also recommend Salework to students participating in sales training courses on the e-commerce floor organized by me. With Salework, the management and operation of its Shops becomes extremely convenient and optimal, Salework has really brought a revolution for sellers on the platform".

The road to success will not be lined with roses, nor will it be smooth. On it, there are always hidden challenges to test the bravery of each person. Going through a challenge we will be more mature, from there, success will come very close. “Effort to create diamonds” has always been a guideline to guide the young generation to embark on the entrepreneurial journey. Despite great challenges, many failures, but surely you will never lose, because those will be valuable lessons that you cannot find in book theory. We have youth, enthusiasm, time, with effort we will succeed in the future. Always believe in yourself, UEBers!”. Dung's message seems to fuel the fire of passion and enthusiasm for young people who confidently paint their own "startup".

Wish UEBers success in their "dream" of starting a business!
