Speaking at the 4th edition of the annual meeting, with the participation of
workers from seven localities belonging to the country’s key economic region,
the Government leader further said that the national development does not rely
only on capital, cheap labour but also production capacity.
Highly-skilled workers are a national treasure as they serve as a locomotive for
the economic development and attract foreign investors. However, they account
for only less than 19 percent of the total workforce and ministries must work
out concrete policies to improve this, he pointed out.
Workers’ representatives held that vocational training is yet to catch up with
the technology development. As a result, most of the workers have not received
proper training and the vocational training has yet to meet the requirement of a
competitive labour market.
Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung said his ministry
advocates conducting vocational training in line with the need of the labour
market, focusing in the fields the society needs, not what the ministry is
having. It is also intensifying the connection between training and enterprises
that will employ the workers.
For his part, Minister of Education and Training Phung Xuan Nha laid a stress on
the connection and highlighted that his ministry advocates increasing the forms
of training, aiming to raise the foreign language command and professional
skills for workers.
Meanwhile, a representative of the employers pointed to the fact that new
recruits cannot start working immediately but need from one to two years for
further training.
Concluding the dialogue, Prime Minister Phuc affirmed that the Government will
continue to work out policies to raise workers’ salary and other welfares. He
urged them to train themselves and keep training for the whole life, and ordered
trade union organisations to pay more attention to the workers’ families.
