Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan on July 11 chaired an online working session with central Ha Tinh province to sum up human resources training for its Vung Ang economic zone.
The 22,000 ha economic zone of Vung Ang, established in 2006, is one of five key coastal economic zones in the country.
As many as 226 enterprises have been granted business and investment licences in the zone, including 26 operating projects and 28 others in the progress of construction.
At present, nearly 12,500 labourers work in the area, while labour demand in the zone is forecast to reach 67,000 in 2015.
Attracting and training workers for Vung Ang economic zone has received the support of the Government, ministries, the provincial authorities, businesses and training centres.
The Ministry of Education and Training has coordinated with Ha Tinh authorities to determine the particular policies to enrol and train students who will work in the economic zone in the future.
In addition, the province has issued special job-training policies to attract a high quality workforce for the zone during 2011-2015 period and established an investment and manpower promotion centre.
More than 585 billion VND (27.54 million USD) from the State budget was allocated to schools in the province from 2009 to 2013. Additionally, 164 billion VND (7.72 million USD) from the provincial budget was invested during the 2010-2012 period.
However, training assignments in 2012 were not as successful as the provincial plan due to the lack of school coordination mechanisms in labour training activities, weak communication with local students, and low investment in key training centres.
Concluding the working session, Deputy Prime Minister Nhan stressed that Ha Tinh province should cooperate with businesses to review labour demand and supply information every three months for training units to build their plans.
It also needs to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Training, schools and businesses to help workers at foreign-invested companies learn foreign languages, he said.
Additionally, the province should promote its communication with students in Ha Tinh to work in the economic zone after they graduate, Deputy Prime Minister Nhan added.-VNA
