The REACH Alumni club was established in 2007 in response to demands from REACH graduates. The clubs enable graduates to stay in contact with one another and support their on-going efforts at self-improvement and education. Alumni members also support REACH's programs and its growth. Clubs organise social and community service activities for members. They also provide an important link between REACH graduates and REACH. Alumni clubs in Hanoi, Da Nang, Hue and Hai Duong provinces support the work of REACH by playing an active role in REACH’s student recruitment processes, curriculum development and guest lecturing. The spirit of REACH lives on in our graduates through their involvement in the Alumni clubs. The ALUMNI motto sums it up: “Alumni Club – join hands together for future success”.
THE GOOD THING!
(Written by Ha Phuong Thao – Alumnus, Customer Relationship, Sales & Marketing class)
This was the 6th time I’d been back to our centre as a guest lecturer. Without the anxiety for the first time, I felt completely Comfortable before many friendly and admiring eyes. The sweetness of my memories and the love I felt during my time at REACH abruptly flooded my mind. I remembered occasions when graduates came to share with us their experiences, their knowledge of products and many other valuable pieces of advice and information Then, I was whispering to myself that I would contribute back my own part to help other youth. I told the students about electronic products and customer groups. Since my very first days at work, I was selected for this sector- the major sector in every supermarket. The modern and challenging working environment is really attractive and forces people to be more active. A number of times, I had to skip Alumni Club meetings because I couldn’t arrange the time. After 6 months of intense effort, I was promoted to Audio team leader. The long 6 months were worth investing,
as I was selected in such a competitive environment. The satisfaction of that achievement spurred me on to develop more. It’s the premise for me to fulfil my dreams. Coming back to assist the centre is my desire. It’s similar for other graduates. Coming back means seeing facilitators and the image of ourselves before in class, realizing that we have grown up and that life is so valuable.
After having been Audio team leader for more than 1 year, I was promoted to Chief Manager of the electronic products sector. It is huge but it matches my ambition. I’m in the recruitment committee now which means I have more opportunities to support REACH. I know, it’s rare to be selected as the chief manager of the electronics sector with only a high school qualification in hand and I appreciate precious things that REACH has done for me. I’ve built a good foundation, I will study more to fulfil my dreams – Thao said.
