What do students need to equip?

VietnamWorks has statistics based on the survey analysis results of more than 1,000 workers and 500 enterprises in the manufacturing sector in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Long An...

Business revenue decline

Accordingly, 9 industries in the manufacturing sector were surveyed, including industrial products, consumer goods/food production, textiles/footwear, construction materials production, high technology, agriculture and forestry, automation/automobiles, pharmaceuticals/biotechnology.

Ms. Tran Thi Hoan, Deputy Director of Navigos Search North, commented: "Through the report, businesses in 9 key manufacturing industries all recorded being affected, clearly shown through the decrease in revenue. At least 50% of businesses faced a decrease in revenue in each industry, of which the industry with the highest impact was up to 91% of businesses. More than 50% of businesses in each industry experienced a decrease from less than 10% to over 40% of total revenue."

According to Ms. Hoan, when faced with this difficulty, most manufacturing enterprises choose to maintain or reduce their scale. For example, in the high-tech industry, 56% of enterprises have cut labor, while 52% of enterprises in the textile, garment and footwear industries have cut working hours. Many enterprises producing consumer goods/food and construction materials have both cut labor and reduced working hours.

As a result, up to 58% of manufacturing workers have seen their total salaries cut by 30-50%. Many workers have had their working hours and overtime reduced and have not received their usual benefits.

Want to be recruited must improve skills

According to the survey, to cope with the difficult situation, 60% of workers chose to cut living expenses, 37% worked extra hours outside.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Chung, Deputy General Director of Termo Vietnam Co., Ltd., also acknowledged: "It can be seen that the manufacturing market tends to decrease along with the general decline of the economy. In the first 7 months of the year, the electronics, computer, and component manufacturing industry only reached 30.7 billion USD, down 3% compared to the same period last year, and the phone component industry only reached 27.8 billion USD, down 18%".

According to Mr. Chung, the major annual recruitment period of manufacturing industries usually falls around the last 6 months of the year. However, in predicting the recruitment situation this year, Mr. Chung said that the last months of the year will be even more difficult as the economic situation becomes increasingly severe.

"To keep their jobs or be recruited, workers must choose to improve their skills and expertise to maintain their competitive advantage. These include management skills, financial management skills, and skills in using technology in production," Ms. Tran Thi Hoan shared.

In addition, according to Ms. Hoan, workers as well as new graduates or students about to graduate need to update their knowledge and skills to adapt to automation. At the same time, they need to learn more necessary skills such as effective communication, technology and engineering, time management, etc.
