The rate of trained workers increases annually (from 62% in 2014 to 86.46% in 2023). The stature and technical expertise of workers gradually meet the needs of society and the labor market, contributing to the positive shift in the province's labor structure, contributing to improving the investment and business environment, and improving the PCI, PAR Index, and PAPI indicators. The province's training and enrollment work reaches an average of over 38,000 students/year, basically meeting the human resource needs of businesses and the needs of society.
