On June 1 and June 8, 2026, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSH), Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), in collaboration with ABROADER Co., Ltd. (Vietnam), organized an internship orientation program for international students undertaking short-term internships at the Faculty.

Representing the FSSH were Dr. Pham Thi Ha Thuong, Dean of the Faculty; Dr. Nguyen Minh Huan, Assistant to the Dean; and Dr. Tran Thanh Huyen, Lecturer of the Faculty.

The two-month internship program welcomed two students from the United States: Seth Rollin Weeks from the University of Kansas and Sylvia Wairimu Kariu from the The University of Texas at San Antonio. During their internship at the Faculty, the students will support academic and research activities, participate in cultural exchange programs, and gain insights into Vietnam’s higher education environment and cultural context.

During the orientation program, the students were introduced to TDTU, the FSSH, internship-related regulations, and the tasks they will undertake throughout their internship period. They were also provided with information about the learning environment, local culture, and essential skills to help them adapt successfully to their internship experience in Vietnam.

The orientation program was conducted in a friendly and open atmosphere, providing a solid foundation for the international students as they begin their internships. It also contributes to strengthening cooperative relationships between the FSSH and its international partners in the fields of education and human resource development.
