According to the organizers, the program was not only an opportunity to raise awareness about digital transformation in trade union professional work but also a premise for applying artificial intelligence (AI) to trade union activities and teaching in the education sector.

According to Conclusion No. 91-KL/TW in 2024 of the Politburo, continuing to implement Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW on fundamental and comprehensive renovation of education and training is a key factor to improve training quality and develop comprehensively the qualities and capabilities of learners.

This seminar is a concrete step in implementing the above orientation, aiming to build a modern, creative, and effective educational environment through the application of AI and digital platforms in Phu Yen’s education sector.

However, it cannot be denied that this process also poses many significant challenges, especially for trade union officials – who play a significant role in guiding and supporting teachers at educational institutions in approaching and applying new technologies.

At the seminar, Dr. Tran Kim Quyen, Principal of Mien Trung Industry and Trade College, shared that the world is transforming according to the BANI model (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible), requiring quick adaptation of each individual in the digital living environment.

Many important issues were discussed to help trade union officials better understand the role of digital technology and AI in their work.

An important part of the program was training trade union officials in flexible and creative thinking skills in the digital age. They need to understand that the current working environment demands high agility and adaptability.

Moreover, trade union officials not only need to support union members – teachers in accessing digital teaching tools and AI technology but also need to continuously learn and develop their own digital skills and techniques.

The seminar also provided knowledge on risk management in the digital environment and AI era. This becomes important as trade union and educational activities are increasingly deployed widely on digital platforms, social networks, and AI tools.

Dr. Nguyen Trung Hoa, Director of the Training and International Cooperation Center, in charge of technology at Mien Trung Industry and Trade College, focused on highlighting the significance and role of AI in trade union work and education.

Currently, Gen AI (Generative AI – Ed.) not only helps solve common queries but can also assist in planning, data analysis, decision-making support, and proposing specific solutions for each situation in trade union professional work or creating content for professional work in education such as preparing lesson plans, lectures, making exam questions…

Dr. Nguyen Trung Hoa also guided trade union officials on how to communicate effectively with Gen AI through AI Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude AI using an easy-to-understand, easy-to-apply universal Prompt formula that yields high-quality communication results without having to study too many complex Prompt formulas.

This content particularly attracted the attention of participants, as they were guided on how to use, practice on the spot, and experience handling issues in trade union and educational professions.
