KCM Trade x ACYA x VSA | Partnering with Australian University Student Unions to Bridge Career Futures and Cross-Cultural Growth

Partnering with Universities to Foster Youth Connections

KCM Trade has recently taken an active role in a series of campus events jointly organised by the Australia-China Youth Association (ACYA) and the Vietnamese Students’ Association (VSA). These initiatives aim to build bridges for young people to engage in cross-cultural dialogue and career development.  

Two events included the ACYA × VSA “Brewing Connections” youth networking session at Monash University, and the ACYA Career Navigation Panel at the University of Melbourne.  Through face-to-face exchanges, KCM Trade’s speakers shared workplace experience and insights on the future of the financial industry, inspiring students with multidimensional perspectives.

Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue that Sparks Inspiration

At the “Brewing Connections” event, KCM Trade’s representative joined professionals from sectors including healthcare, law, beauty, and telecommunications for an open discussion around “Learning, Networking and Opportunities”. Drawing from personal experience, the KCM Trade speaker offered reflections on how to find one’s position within a multicultural environment, helping students explore diverse pathways for career growth.  

At the University of Melbourne’s ACYA Career Navigation Panel, company representatives participated in an engaging discussion alongside guest speakers from EY and Boman Group, covering topics such as transitioning from campus to the workplace, career planning, and emerging trends in China-Australia cooperation. Interactive games and an “Ask Me Anything” session encouraged students to express themselves, ask questions, and experience genuine idea exchange and cultural integration.
