After listening to the presentation of Dr. Nguyen Quang Vy, the Conference discussed the assessment of learning needs and the development of a training framework for the master's degree in economic law.

Regarding training needs, representatives of state management agencies, enterprises and universities all affirmed that the demand for human resources in the field of economic law is increasing, especially in the business sector. Dr. Le Dinh Vinh - General Director of Vietthink Law Firm assessed that the need for depth (learning to improve capacity) and cross-demand (learning to supplement knowledge for work) in training masters in economic law is increasing.

Dr. Le Dinh Vinh - General Director, Vietthink Law Firm: “The need for depth and cross-demand in training masters in economic law is increasing day by day.

Agreeing with the assessment of the increasing demand for human resources in the economic law sector, representatives of State management agencies including Mr. Vu Quang Thanh - Deputy Director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center; Mr. Nguyen Van Bay - Head of the Legal Policy Department, Department of Intellectual Property and Ms. Truong Thi Minh Nguyen - Department of Organization and Personnel, General Department of Customs all said that, if in the previous period, agencies and enterprises did not pay much attention to human resources with knowledge of economic law for enterprises, in recent years this demand has clearly formed and recruited very specific positions.

Ms. Truong Thi Minh Nguyen - Department of Organization and Personnel, General Department of Customs spoke at the Seminar.

Also at the seminar, experts and teachers from universities that offer master's programs in Economic Law such as Hanoi Law University, Faculty of Law - Hanoi National University, Foreign Trade University, Hanoi Open University all assessed that Dai Nam's master's program in Economic Law basically meets the requirements on structure and duration according to the general regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Que Anh - Head of the Faculty of Law, Hanoi National University, proposed that Dai Nam University should develop a program with output standards according to CIDO. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Que Anh said: “Training according to the CDIO model helps to link the working ability of learners with the requirements of employers, thereby narrowing the gap between the school's training and the requirements of human resource users…”

Associate Professor, Dr. Ngo Quoc Chien - Head of the Faculty of Law, Foreign Trade University, contributed his opinion that no matter what perspective the program is built from, it should maintain the four core contents of the economic law industry, which are: legal thinking method (problem approach method); contract drafting; mock trial (court, arbitration) and visiting law firms (court). If the program has some more practical learning modules (internships) at agencies/enterprises/organizations practicing law, it will create a very different highlight compared to current programs, at the same time improving the quality of training and attracting more learners.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Ngo Quoc Chien - Faculty of Law, Foreign Trade University: "The training program needs to maintain the 4 core contents of economic law"

Discussing the issue of practical orientation, Dr. Le Dinh Vinh - General Director, Vietthink Law Firm and Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Huu Trang - Dean of the Faculty of Law, Hanoi Open University both strongly agreed with the application orientation that the training program has proposed because this is the right direction, well meeting the needs of current and future society. Dr. Vinh also emphasized that, in order for the program to bear the "identity" of Dai Nam University, he completely agreed with the opening discussion of Dr. Le Duc Son - Chairman of the Board of Directors of the school - that it is necessary to focus on skills and attitudes in parallel with providing appropriate specialized knowledge.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Huu Trang - Head of Law Faculty, Hanoi Open University: "It is necessary to build a matrix of program output standards".
