Wide open job opportunities from potentially rich fields

Human resources serving marine economic development

In the process of building and developing Vietnam into a strong maritime nation, maritime, tourism, marine farming, renewable energy... are all fields with development potential. Along with the opportunity to expand production and service activities, human resource requirements have also become more diverse, from technical labor to positions requiring in-depth expertise and ability to work in a specific environment.

Offshore wind power is an example. According to Dr. Du Van Toan - Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology, Environment and Marine Science (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment), this is an area with many development opportunities. To meet the needs of localization in the service, manufacturing, warranty, repair and data supply industries, Vietnam needs high-quality human resources.

Dr. Du Van Toan also emphasized that working at sea not only requires knowledge of the sea or marine technology. Workers also need to be able to withstand pressure from sea waves, natural disasters at sea, and at the same time have passion for the field they pursue.

This shows that the development opportunities of a profession always go hand in hand with specific requirements for human resource quality. In addition to professional knowledge, workers need to be prepared with practical skills and adaptability to actual working conditions.

Understand the industry correctly to anticipate job opportunities

The demand for human resources is still present in Vietnam's strong industries such as seafood. However, according to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Truong Dinh Hoai - Deputy Head of the Department of Fisheries, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, the enrollment of students in this industry has faced difficulties for a long time because students and families often imagine the main job as "going into the pond", working in the field and quite hard.

In fact, the scope of the seafood industry is much broader, stretching from seeds, feed, disease management to processing and import-export. Each stage has different job positions, development opportunities and income worth paying attention to for learners.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Truong Dinh Hoai said that in recent years, students' awareness of the aquaculture industry has had positive changes, reflected in the increasing number of students studying at the Vietnam National University of Agriculture.

This reality raises the requirement to strengthen career guidance information, helping students better identify job characteristics and positions they can hold. Understanding career requirements from the beginning will help learners choose a suitable direction, proactively prepare their abilities and better meet the needs of the labor market.
