The overarching goal is to change thinking, improve digital capacity for trade union officials; apply synchronous information technology, taking union members as the center.

Accordingly, 7 key targets are identified. Notably, the target is to strive for 100% of trade union full-time officials to be equipped with digital transformation knowledge; 100% of work files at the Provincial Labor Federation are processed on the network environment (except for confidential documents as prescribed); 100% of union members are updated with data on the union member management system.

In the field of communication, every year, at least 90% of communication materials of the Provincial Labor Federation and 80% of documents of grassroots trade unions are digitized and posted on electronic information pages, fan pages and official social networking platforms.

In particular, Khanh Hoa Trade Union will build its own Youtube channel to vividly reflect trade union activities through video clips, graphic information, and online lectures.

The program also aims to deploy the "paperless meeting room" model at the Provincial Labor Federation agency; organize online conferences when necessary; interlink trade union activity data systems from provincial to grassroots levels; apply digital signatures and document management software throughout the system.

In the task of representing and protecting union members' rights, trade union levels will strengthen online legal advice, collect workers' opinions via QR codes, and promote dialogue and collective bargaining on digital platforms.

The construction of electronic law bookshelves and forums connecting union members on social networks is also being promoted to promptly grasp the thoughts and aspirations of workers.

To ensure effectiveness, the Provincial Labor Federation assigned the Trade Union Affairs Committee to advise on specific implementation plans, propose human resources and funds, inspect, supervise, summarize, and promptly reward collectives and individuals with achievements. Grassroots-level trade unions and grassroots trade unions shall base on the actual situation to develop appropriate action plans.
