From Graduation to Employment: Building a Connected Learner Journey in Vietnam

A student puts in hard work for years to earn their degree as well as build relevant market skills. Studying and getting good grades, participating in university events, attending seminars, doing internships and undertaking short courses. From Bằng tốt nghiệp (graduation certificate), chứng chỉ thực tập (internship certificate) to giấy chứng nhận (certificate of participation or completion), every credential earned adds strength to their portfolio.
But earning credentials is only the first part of their learner and employment journey. Proving those to employers is another task. HR teams and the administrative staff of other universities may still have to email a candidate’s university to verify those credentials, leading to possible delays. These delays can further cost a candidate a job opportunity.
This is where a connected digital credential system can help. With digital credential issuance, a learner wallet and career support features, universities can help students manage and share their verified credentials while preparing for their first job. It creates a smoother journey from graduation to employment, without leaving students to figure out every step on their own.
From Issuance to Delivery of Credentials
The digital credential system works for faster and secure delivery of credentials. Be it for issuing bảng điểm, Bằng tốt nghiệp, or giấy chứng nhận, the system can generate certificates that land straight in learners’ wallets when released.
The staff can upload a spreadsheet or integrate the system with existing ERP, LMS or SIS. The university can design digital certificates while maintaining its institutional branding, with bilingual certificate options, QR codes and verification links. The staff can also establish the issuance workflow: who creates, who checks, and who approves. Once the design is approved, the system can populate the certificate with the relevant learner details. The credential can then be shared through a link sent by email or message. When issued through TruScholar, it can also be delivered directly to the learner’s wallet, with a downloadable PDF option.
For instance, a university plans to deliver participation certificates for an event the same day. They can just upload the attendance sheet and the system will generate certificates in the pre-designed template and deliver them to the attendees at the close of the event. Or, in a different case, if the university wants to deliver the bằng cấp chứng chỉ on the day of convocation, they can schedule the release of certificates for that day.
Digital credential issuance helps reduce repetitive administrative work, especially during busy periods such as the end of a semester or graduation season. It also gives learners a convenient way to access their achievements after leaving the university.
Easy Access and Sharing of Verified Achievements
A student completes their university education with several credentials earned over the years. Some are academic, while others reflect practical experience, participation and additional learning. Keeping all these documents organised can become difficult, particularly when graduates need to submit them to different employers or institutions.
A learner wallet provides a central place to access credentials issued through the platform. Graduates can search for their Bằng tốt nghiệp, bảng điểm, internship certificates and other achievements whenever required, whether they are applying for their first job or pursuing further education several years later.
Instead of sharing a certificate only as an email attachment, learners can share a verifiable link. The recipient can open the credential’s verification link that lands on the university’s domain, and check details such as the learner’s name, qualification, and credential status. This helps employers confirm that the credential was issued by the university and has not been altered. For situations where a printed document is required, learners can download and print the PDF. Scanning the QR code on the certificate can take the recipient to the same verification record, making it easier to check its authenticity.
Graduates can also share eligible credentials on LinkedIn, helping them showcase their achievements to potential employers and professional networks. The university’s name can appear alongside the qualification, giving the institution additional visibility.
Easy access to verified credentials can reduce the back-and-forth involved in routine qualification checks. It does not replace official authentication or other requirements that an employer or authority may request, but it can make everyday verification more straightforward.
Intelligent Resume Builder
Academic qualifications, skills and work experience all matter when applying for a job. So does the way a graduate presents them.
Employers often receive hundreds of applications for a single position. Before a recruiter even reads a resume, it may pass through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), which scans and organises applications based on relevant information. A bản tóm tắt (resume) with an unclear layout or poorly structured content may not perform well during this initial screening.
For fresh graduates, preparing a professional resume can be particularly challenging. They may have completed several courses, internships and university activities but may not know how to organise these experiences for a particular role.
An AI-powered resume builder within the TruScholar learner wallet can help students generate ATS-friendly resumes using their existing credentials and information. This gives graduates a structured starting point for presenting their qualifications, skills and achievements.
For example, a graduate applying for a marketing position may want to highlight their degree, digital marketing course, internship and relevant university projects. Someone applying for an engineering role may choose to give more attention to technical training, practical experience and relevant certifications.
A well-organised resume helps employers understand a candidate’s background more easily. When a graduate’s qualifications are supported by verifiable digital credentials, recruiters can also check the relevant achievements through their phones.
The resume builder does not guarantee that an application will pass every ATS screening or secure an interview. However, it can help students present their experience more clearly and take a more confident first step towards employment.
Interview Preparation
With a resume ready for the desired role, the next step is preparing for interviews. For many fresh graduates, this can be one of the more stressful parts of entering the job market.
They may know the subject they studied but feel unsure about answering questions on their strengths, weaknesses, internship experience or career goals. Some may also struggle with technical questions or explaining how their academic knowledge applies to a real workplace.
TruScholar’s AI-powered interview practice feature in the learner wallet can help students prepare by presenting plausible questions based on the role they are interested in. They can practise answering questions, work through different interview scenarios and become more familiar with the process before meeting an employer.
For instance, a graduate applying for a business development role may practise explaining how they would approach a potential client. Someone applying for a software development position may prepare for technical and problem-solving questions.
This practice can help students organise their thoughts and become more comfortable discussing their experience. It is not a replacement for actual interviews or professional career guidance, but it gives learners an opportunity to prepare at their own pace.
For universities, making interview preparation accessible through the learner wallet adds another layer of support to the graduate journey, beyond issuing academic credentials.
Vietnamese University Placements and Campus Connect
Generating an ATS-friendly resume and practising for interviews are important steps, but graduates still need to find suitable opportunities, apply and keep track of their progress. This is where campus placement support becomes useful.
University placement teams often coordinate with multiple recruiters, share eligible student lists and manage applications across different departments and programmes. Handling all these activities manually can take considerable time, especially when several companies are participating in a recruitment drive.
TruScholar’s Campus Connect helps bring universities, students and recruiters onto one platform. The system can identify eligible students based on criteria shared for a job opportunity. University staff can then share relevant student profiles with recruiters, reducing the need to repeatedly collect and check basic academic information.
For Vietnamese universities, this can support activities around hỗ trợ việc làm cho sinh viên (student employment support) and kết nối doanh nghiệp (industry networking). It also gives placement teams a way to manage recruitment drives through a central pipeline and access reports that can be exported for review.
Students looking for their first job may not always know where to find suitable openings or how to decide whether they meet the requirements. Through Campus Connect, they can view relevant job opportunities, identify roles that match their qualifications and apply more easily. They can also track their application journey, including whether they have applied, been shortlisted or interviewed, and whether the company has responded. This gives students better visibility into the process instead of leaving them uncertain about what happens after submitting an application.
Campus Connect does not guarantee employment. Hiring decisions remain with employers, and students still need to meet the requirements of each role. The platform helps reduce friction around finding opportunities, sharing verified student information and managing recruitment activities.
Even after securing a job, graduates can continue building their professional portfolio. They may earn new training certificates, professional qualifications and experience letters, adding to the credentials they already hold in their learner wallet. Their learning journey does not end with the Bằng tốt nghiệp. It continues as they gain experience and develop new skills.
Advance Your Graduates’ Career Journey
Helping students prepare for employment involves more than issuing a degree certificate at the end of their course. Universities can support graduates by making their achievements easier to access and verify, helping them present their qualifications professionally, and connecting them with suitable employment opportunities.
Digital credential issuance, when combined with a learner wallet, AI-powered resume building, interview practice and Campus Connect, creates a more connected journey from graduation to employment.
For Vietnamese universities, this means giving students better access to their Bằng tốt nghiệp, bảng điểm and other achievements, while helping placement teams manage recruitment activities more efficiently. It also gives graduates a digital record they can continue using as they move through different stages of their careers.
