TPO - That is the opinion of Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh - diplomat, President of the Ho Chi Minh City Peace and Development Foundation at the seminar "Limitations and advantages of Vietnam and Vietnamese people in building and forming human resources to meet the requirements of the new period" organized by Hoa Sen University on March 1, attracting hundreds of students and intellectuals to participate.

At the seminar, many students and alumni shared their hardships and difficulties after leaving university to work in businesses.

Pham Huynh Huong - Former student of Hoa Sen University, Valedictorian of Human Resource Management in 2023, currently the Operations Manager of the FnB startup project of Your Vibes Coffee & Space brand shared: “As a young person who has just graduated from school, although I have received formal training in my profession, in the early stages of joining the young startup business environment, I also had barriers when communicating with colleagues and superiors. Sometimes, I still feel shy to share small questions with normal content with my colleagues”.

Meanwhile, Dang Ky Anh - a third-year student majoring in English Language at Hoa Sen University cited his observations of the attitudes and working methods of young people when doing part-time jobs. Ky Anh found that the lack of confidence, proactive communication with superiors, lack of overall perspective, illogical arguments and presentation of problems, and reluctance to propose initiatives are barriers for young people today.

According to Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh, higher education in Vietnam generally has many limitations such as the lack of facilities and centers of sufficient scale and efficiency to properly and promptly meet the demand for technical and technological human resources (especially related to semiconductors and AI). Teaching and learning methods have not properly and effectively met the requirements of the new stage such as not promoting the ability to analyze and synthesize, the ability to compare and evaluate critical thinking , not updating knowledge and understanding according to current trends, limitations in applying AI, the foreign language proficiency of the majority of the workforce does not meet the requirements of the market, and knowledge and understanding of the world is still limited.

Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh expressed her views on young Vietnamese workers.

Besides, the spirit, attitude and working methods of Vietnamese people in general still lack confidence and initiative in relations with superiors; lack of overall and systematic view; Argument and presentation of problems lack logic and coherence; Rarely propose initiatives and policies.

Despite many limitations, Ms. Ninh still believes that we still have many advantages over other countries such as flexible foreign policy; the policy of the Vietnamese State to attract FDI and promote exports (openness of the economy); the production and import-export situation related to Asia in general, China and Southeast Asia in particular; Vietnam participates in many bilateral and multilateral trade agreements; the size of the labor market, the level of training and labor costs; Vietnamese workers are hard-working, progressive, open-minded, disciplined, and quick to learn.

Meanwhile, Dr. Phan Thi Viet Nam - Vice President of Hoa Sen University said that to realize Vietnam's goals, specifically to escape from low-middle income status by 2025, achieve high-middle income status by 2030 and high income status by 2045, with an average income per capita growth rate of about 7% per year by 2030, a breakthrough in human resources, especially high-quality human resources, is one of the key factors.

“However, many experts believe that our country's labor market has not kept up with the pace and requirements of socio-economic development, and its adaptability, proactiveness, and flexibility are still low, especially in the face of fluctuations such as the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ms. Nam, citing that according to the General Statistics Office's report in 2022, the proportion of Vietnamese workers with professional skills is less than 30% and only 10% of Vietnamese workers meet the requirements in the context of the digital economy.

Although Vietnam's human capital index has improved in recent years, the skills of Vietnamese workers are still considered limited, ranking 47th out of 60 global labor markets. Vietnam's human resources are considered "both surplus and shortage", with an excess of low-cost workers but a lack of highly skilled professionals. The foreign language proficiency of Vietnamese workers is not high, so they face many difficulties in the process of international integration.
