Providing students with early exposure to professional working environments is a key educational priority of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management program at Lac Hong University (LHU). Through industry-based experiential learning activities, students not only consolidate their academic knowledge but also gain valuable opportunities to explore their chosen profession, develop practical perspectives, and establish clearer career aspirations for the future.
On the morning of November 9, 2026, the Faculty of Finance and Accounting at Lac Hong University organized an educational field visit and practical learning program at SP-PSA International Container Port, located in the Cai Mep–Thi Vai area of Ho Chi Minh City. The program brought together 43 students from class 26LG113, majoring in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, accompanied by faculty members and staff from the Faculty.
The field visit formed an integral part of the practical learning component of the Introduction to Logistics and Supply Chain Management course, offering students firsthand exposure to the operational environment of an international container port. During the visit, students received an introduction to the port from company representatives, toured the facilities, and explored the essential role of seaports in transportation, cargo handling, and supply chain connectivity.
In addition to the site tour, students had opportunities to engage in interactive discussions, raise questions, and exchange ideas directly with industry representatives. These experiences provided valuable insights into professional working environments, industry-specific competencies, and potential career opportunities within the logistics sector. They also encouraged students to take a proactive approach to their academic development and the acquisition of relevant professional skills.
A distinctive feature of the program was the opportunity for students to experience a professional working environment during their very first semesters at university. Rather than relying solely on textbooks and classroom instruction, students were able to observe real-world operations, deepen their understanding of their chosen field, and gradually build the knowledge and competencies necessary for future internships and employment.
Through industry field visits and experiential learning initiatives, the Faculty of Finance and Accounting continues to reinforce its commitment to practice-oriented education, strengthen university–industry partnerships, and expand students' professional development opportunities. This approach represents one of the distinctive strengths of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management program at Lac Hong University, enabling students to gain early industry exposure and enhance their adaptability to the evolving demands of the labor market.
The Faculty of Finance and Accounting at Lac Hong University extends its sincere appreciation to the management and staff of SP-PSA International Container Port for their warm hospitality, generous support in facilitating the visit, and willingness to share valuable practical knowledge and professional insights. Their collaboration contributed significantly to making the program a meaningful and enriching educational experience for participating students.
From university classrooms to an international seaport, the field visit undertaken by class 26LG113 not only broadened students' understanding of Logistics and Supply Chain Management but also inspired their professional enthusiasm, encouraged proactive learning, and strengthened their aspirations for future career development from the very beginning of their university journey.
