Mục Lục

In the context of an increasingly competitive labor market and the constantly evolving field of Human Resource Management, equipping students with practical thinking, analytical ability, and problem-solving skills for real business situations has become an essential requirement of modern higher education. With the training orientation of “learning goes hand in hand with practice”, the Faculty of Business Administration organized the HR CHALLENGE – Practical Human Resource Management Challenge, creating a valuable academic playground where students can directly approach real-world HR problems faced by enterprises.

On the morning of February 1, the HR CHALLENGE Final Round officially took place in a serious, dynamic, and emotional atmosphere, marking the end of an inspiring journey of competition while leaving many remarkable professional impressions.

HR CHALLENGE – An Academic Playground Inspired by Real Business Practices

HR CHALLENGE is not merely an academic competition but a simulation model reflecting real human resource management issues occurring in major corporations and enterprises both domestically and internationally. Through case analysis, solution proposals, and HR strategy presentations, students take on the roles of future HR specialists and managers.

Each presentation not only reflected the systematic professional knowledge students had acquired but also showed their sensitivity to real business challenges.

Well-prepared, creative, and highly practical presentations

One of the highlights of the HR CHALLENGE Final Round was the consistent professional quality and serious preparation of the contestants. The presentations were logically structured, supported by real-world examples, data analysis, and practical solutions tailored to specific corporate contexts such as Vingroup, Unilever Vietnam, Viettel, MB Bank, and SPX Express.
