Industries with high demand for green jobs in Vietnam. (Infographic courtesy of ManpowerGroup Vietnam) Since 2022, ManpowerGroup Vietnam has helped employers find talent for hundredsof green jobs in both full-time and staffing positions.
So far, the highest demand for green jobs is from the manufacturing (48%),energy (34%), agriculture (11%), and technology (4%) sectors, among others.
Andree Mangels, General Manager at ManpowerGroup Vietnam, said, “from ourrecruitment and staffing experience, we see that more and more companies haveplaced significance on ‘green’ practices in their operation, especially intalent acquisition. We have been actively partnering with both local andmultinational corporations nationwide in promoting green job opportunities.”
In recent years, Vietnam has established strong cooperation on green growthwith many countries, including Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland,Denmark, and the Netherlands, and with international organisations.
The approved National Strategy for Green Growth for the 2021-2030 period, witha vision toward 2050, created more favourable conditions for businessesnationwide to achieve sustainable development.
As countries go green, job opportunities emerge. The average job in the US, UKand Australia, for example, uses roughly two to three times more green skillsthan the average job globally, according to the LinkedIn Global Green SkillsReport.
APAC countries are also actively involved in green growth and greenrecruitment. Nevertheless, despite the great need for green talent and greenskills in various industries, the current supply is falling short of demand,according to ManpowerGroup Vietnam’s recruitment data./.
