On 30 September 2018, approximately one hundred members from TRG International along with nearly ten thousand other runners participated in the BBGV Fun Run for Charity 2018. This year, TRG International is proud to be one of the In-kind Gold Sponsors for this event. Together with the BBGV Team, we hope to raise 1 billion VND to support various charitable projects helping the disadvantaged Vietnamese.

Hey hey hey! It is time for the BBGV Annual Fun Run for Charity and you bet that TRG International will play a part in it again this year.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is a national holiday that takes place every year on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Lunar Calendar. This is one of the most important festivals in Vietnam, and it is celebrated differently in each region but typically, the celebration calls for snacking on mooncakes, carrying or hanging up lanterns, and watching Chinese dragon dances.

On 30th August, TRG was honoured to be one of the 40 companies participating in the RMIT Career Fair 2018.

RMIT Career Fair is an annual event for students to have an overview of the job market. This is a chance for RMIT students and alumni to interact with professionals from various industries. Besides offering employment opportunities, there were also various fun activities happening at the employer’s booths. Some employers were also providing tips and techniques for students to make themselves more employable during the event.

In recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a central role in Vietnam’s economic growth, providing abundant job opportunities and boosting exports. However, despite accounting for 98 per cent of the country’s enterprises, 40 per cent of GDP and 50 per cent of employment, the performance of SMEs is still constrained by many factors, both internal and external, such as shortage of qualified human resources, limited access to technology as well as administrative hurdles.

On the 14th of June, the seminar organised by BBGV and TRG International raised a controversial topic: “Grow your employees or Hire Ready-made Talents?” which attracted the attention of many participants.

Lars initially joined TRG as a Human Resources intern, whose main priorities were documenting key business processes and managing our internal employee database. It was a massive and labour-intensive project, which required him to communicate and collaborate with different individuals, from fellow interns to senior management executives.

On May 3, TRG and IPMA successfully co-hosted the TRG Talk - Project Management seminar with the topic "Why do projects fail?". Under the guidance of two experienced speakers: Mr. Brian O’Reilly - Deputy Director of Industrial Relations and Technology Transfer Centre at VGU, and Mr. Rick Yvanovich – Founder & CEO of TRG International, participants joined in together for a robust discussion and learning experience about the various reasons that cause projects to fail.

Team building is a yearly event of TRG and is one of the most anticipated social activities of the year. This year event kick started just weeks before the traditional Tet holidays begin, making all TRG members excited to see what are the challenges for this year.

Tet is the season of happiness, the time when families gather together. But in fact, not everyone can enjoy Tet fully because there are still so many lives that need help. Tet is also a difficult time in calling for blood donation for patients. According to the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, during Lunar New Year, the country needs at least 125,000 units of blood for treatment of diseases. However, this is the time when blood suppliers, workers and university students are on Tet holiday, leading to a significant decrease in blood supply.
