University and Career Counseling

We are proud that Olympia is one of the first high schools in Vietnam to have University and Career Counseling (UCC). Our experts at UCC will support students in selecting suitable jobs and maximizing their potential.

UCC works with the principles of guaranteeing students’ rights, ensuring the accuracy, effectiveness and detail of the counseling during the selection of major and career orientation. Counseling activities should be in association with educational activities, bring about informational values and practical lessons for students. Every information between UCC and students is always transparent, clear and confidential on request. UCC’s counseling program guarantees that every decision about the future is made by students. UCC, school and families will be companions and supporters, and students are always independent in making their own choices and decisions about their future.

from primary to high school with the suitable implementation for all ages. This program was
developed with references to Australian fundamental orientation skill framework, consultation
from experts in Vietnam using orientation theories, such as: Development theory (Donald
E.Super), The systematic theory putting each individual in the correlation with living envinronment through their entire life theory, Planned Happenstance, Holland’s theory – the most popular
