Ho Chi Minh City, November 22, 2025 – At White Palace Pham Van Dong, Navigos Group – the parent company of VietnamWorks and Navigos Search with over 23 years of operation in Vietnam, 6 million users, and more than 70,000 corporate partners – officially introduced Upzi, an AI-powered career guidance and job matching application designed for young professionals.

The launch took place within the framework of Career Pathfinder 2025, in collaboration with more than 19 leading multinational corporations and top-tier Vietnamese brands. This event marks a new milestone in Navigos Group’s strategy to expand its comprehensive human resource ecosystem.

Career Pathfinder 2025 recruitment event brings practical experience for students

In the face of a rapidly evolving labor market and increasing recruitment standards, Navigos Group hosted Upzi Career Pathfinder 2025 – a large-scale recruitment event tailored for students and recent graduates. The event provided young job seekers with the opportunity to “Choosing the right career, choosing the right job”, while celebrating the official launching of the Upzi platform.

Mr. Ryosuke Kanemoto – CEO of Navigos Group spoke at the event

Speaking at the event, Mr. Ryosuke Kanemoto, CEO of Navigos Group, shared that upon assuming leadership in Vietnam in 2023, he spent significant time visiting universities and engaging with students. “What surprised me,” he said, “was that even outstanding young talents still struggled to find jobs that fit them. While Vietnam’s overall unemployment rate is around 2%, youth unemployment reaches 8%, revealing the many challenges young people face entering the labor market.” With over 23 years of recruitment expertise and two trusted brands – VietnamWorks and Navigos Search – Mr. Kanemoto emphasized that Navigos Group is committed to addressing employment challenges faced by young generations. This mission is precisely why Upzi was born.

The event reaffirmed Navigos Group’s commitment to collaborating with universities and corporate partners to create greater career opportunities for Vietnamese youth – the builders of the nation’s future. Designed as an immersive space, Career Pathfinder 2025 allowed students to engage in simulated job scenarios, receive direct feedback from recruiters, and gain valuable insight into market expectations.

Students connected with businesses at the event.

The event provided an opportunity for students to engage with businesses in the most authentic setting. This year’s Career Pathfinder 2025 gathered more than 19 employers across multiple industries – technology, retail, FMCG, finance, banking, and logistics – including Samsung, DHL, MUJI, Nestlé, Mondelez, FPT, HDBank, VPBank, Shinhan Life, Eximbank, LPBank, SSI, MISA, VUS, Saint-Gobain, Shinhan Securities, TMF, Concentrix, and iTechwx. Their participation opened hundreds of job opportunities for students and recent graduates, making the event one of the largest and most dynamic recruitment initiatives of the year.

Students consulted with Navigos Group experts to perfect their Harvard-standard CVs.

At Upzi Career Pathfinder 2025, participants began their journey by exploring themed career simulation zones, experiencing real-world job settings, and testing different professional roles. They then met at 1:1 with Navigos Group experts for personalized consultations and Harvard-standard CV refinement. Equipped with improved readiness, attendees moved on to the Corporate Connection Zone, where they met with leading employers and applied for positions aligned with their strengths.
