The Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam clearly stated strategic breakthroughs, which emphasized "development of human resources, especially high-quality human resources". This is considered a key task to create a driving force for the country's strong development in the coming years.

With the goal of training and developing human resources, particularly high-quality human resources, providing vocational training for rural laborers to contribute to rapid and sustainable economic restructuring, in recent years, human resource training has always been a task of focus of the Party Committee and authorities of Hoa Binh province.

Accordingly, vocational education institutions in the province have designed training programs suitable to the needs of local enterprises and the socio-economic development requirements of the province. In particular, in order to well implement the Law on Vocational Education and Training and the Project on Developing High-Quality Human Resources, the Provincial Party Standing Committee issued Directive No. 38-CT/TU on strengthening the Party leadership on vocational education work in the province.

After 3 years of implementation, the awareness and actions of the relevant agencies at all levels on the guidelines and policies of the Party and State regarding vocational education have changed a lot. Skilled human resources are increasingly developing, contributing to improving labor productivity and increasing competitiveness in the new situation.

In addition, the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs has organized propaganda and training programs for officers and teachers of vocational training institutions, employees of the Departments of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs of localities to stipulate new regulations on enrollment, organize training courses, organize and evaluate education and training programs and textbooks, to set regulations on communication, association and organization of training courses, new policies on vocational training support…

On the basis of the project "Innovation and improvement of the quality of vocational education" under the target program of vocational education - employment and occupational safety, the province's socio-economic development orientation and the need of local enterprises, the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs has guided vocational training schools in the province to consider and propose key occupations.

So far, 10 enterprises in Hoa Binh Province have set up vocational education training institutions and participate in vocational training activities.

By the end of 2020, there were 22 licenced vocational training institutions that are eligible to enroll trainees and organize vocational training courses; excluding 17 vocational training institutions and establishments that offer vocational training courses of less than 3 months, 4 projects to establish vocational training institutions, including 6 colleges, 3 intermediate schools, 13 vocational training centers. More than 85% of graduated trainees have found jobs and have had stable incomes.

Hoa Binh Province's labor training index is high

Hoa Binh Province

As part of the annual Provincial Competitiveness Index, Hoa Binh Province's labor training index is always higher than the national average. In 2020, Hoa Binh ranked 30/63 provinces and cities in this category. Most enterprises said that the province’s labor workforce meets their requirements.

Although the province's labor training task has achieved many positive results, there are still limitations compared to the requirements for human resource development, especially high quality human resources.

Specifically, the proportion of untrained workers is still large, the quality of training is not high enough, the structure of occupations is unreasonable. There is a shortage of qualified, capable and skilled workers, and a surplus of manual labor. The province also lacks good leaders, managers, corporate administrators and a team of economic, technical experts, and skilled workers...

Based on this fact, on October 11, 2021, the Provincial Party Standing Committee approved Project No. 04-DA/TU on science and technology development and innovation associated with innovation and enhancement of education quality and development of high-quality human resources in the period of 2021 - 2025.
