All members of JCI have the opportunity to participate in activities and events to learn and improve leadership skills. According to Mr. Angulo’s introduction, JCI provides two main learning forms for members to participate in. First is learning through training sessions with diverse topics such as time management, public speaking, etc. Second, learning by doing: members will practice leadership skills through JCI projects. Mr. Angulo believes that learning by doing is the best way to practice and develop the skills needed for future leaders.

Through events and workshops on a global scale, JCI has set goals to address specific issues such as inequality and injustice, poverty, and climate change…by identifying responsibility as one of the critical elements that future leaders must have.

Assoc. Vo Thi Ngoc Thuy, President of Hoa Sen University, said that Hoa Sen University shares the same vision and mission as JCI. At Hoa Sen University, students have the best opportunities to train themselves with the necessary skills to prepare them for the journey to become global citizens and future leaders.

Hoa Sen University is recognized by international organizations such as NEAS, FIBAA, ACBSP, etc. Because of this, the learning environment at Hoa Sen is ideal for the current generation of young students. Thus, Hoa Sen University wishes to join and become a member of the JCI organization for the long-term development of students and the school.
