After the interview, the representative of GreenFeed Company highly appreciated the expertise of the students and committed to recruiting them after they completed their studies at the school. Mr. Truong Quang Ngan - Deputy Head of the Faculty of Agriculture - Forestry - Fisheries, said: "In the past, many students studying animal husbandry, veterinary medicine and other agricultural and forestry majors when they first graduated often had to choose a "side job". However, these are now majors with advantages in recruitment, high salaries and many opportunities for training and skill improvement. In the future, this is still a developing group of majors because according to the analysis of labor demand, by 2020, the human resources in the Agriculture - Forestry - Fisheries sector will lack about 3.2 million trained workers".
