UEH Banking Faculty in collaboration with G.A.P Institute to host “How to Build an Effective Relationship in Business”

With nearly 300 students in attendance, the workshop marked Banking Faculty’s first successful attempt at organizing an event on business relationship etiquette. In his opening keynote, MSc. Duong Tan Khoa – Deputy Head of Banking Faculty emphatically highlighted the importance of personal and professional relationships in one’s daily life after graduation. Per his remarks, the key to success lies partly in how each individual forms meaningful networks with their peers, professors, colleagues and professional partners.

The workshop gave great insights into how to create meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Speaker Bui Khac Nam also posed many interesting items for consideration on whether one knows the proper introductory etiquette, which could include but isn’t limited to, a proper handshake, the right positioning of name tags, and other daily interactive conducts, etc. Through the event and experts’ sharing, UEH students were found to become more confident in expressing themselves and strengthening their social network right from their college days.
