In recent times, closely following the central government's orientation on building a team of cadres in general and ethnic minority civil servants and public employees in particular, the Provincial People's Committee has submitted to the Provincial People's Council a number of policies to attract and promote talents, including those applicable to ethnic minority civil servants and public employees. In addition, the province has paid attention to allocating a proportion of new recruitment quotas to recruit high-quality human resources, ethnic minorities to work in administrative agencies in localities, especially in areas with a large number of ethnic minorities living.

When participating in the recruitment of civil servants, ethnic minority candidates are given certain preferential treatment.

In order to contribute to improving the quality of ethnic minority cadres and civil servants, every year, agencies, units and localities in the province pay attention to creating conditions for this team to participate in training and fostering courses to consolidate and improve their capacity, professional qualifications, political theory and working skills. Accordingly, in the period of 2020-2023, the whole province has 10,242 ethnic minority cadres and civil servants sent to participate in training and fostering courses.

The majority have the qualifications, capacity, qualities, and prestige to perform well the assigned tasks, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, proactively update knowledge, improve professional qualifications, and public service skills; the quality of the team is gradually consolidated and improved, increasingly affirming its role and position in leadership, direction, administration, and implementation of tasks and public services in agencies and units.

Along with recruitment and training, ethnic minority cadres and civil servants are interested in planning and appointing them to leadership and management positions in agencies and units. On that basis, based on actual needs and planning sources, agencies, units and localities have appointed and reappointed ethnic minority cadres and civil servants to leadership and management positions, ensuring conditions, standards, processes and procedures according to regulations. The whole province currently has 100 ethnic minority cadres and civil servants holding leadership and management positions in agencies, units and localities.
