Mr. Phung Thai Quang - Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation commented on the issue of retraining and vocational skills improvement training for workers and unskilled laborers.

Commenting on the draft document, Mr. Phung Thai Quang - Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation proposed that the city should develop a training program to retain and improve vocational skills for workers and unskilled laborers. This is an urgent requirement in the coming period to ensure the development of the city.

In the context of the city transforming its growth model, many businesses invest in technological innovation, but the majority of human resources are still direct production workers and unskilled workers.

The general labor force training strategy is both a solution to ensure social security and a way to promote internal resources, creating momentum for rapid and sustainable development for Ho Chi Minh City in the coming period.
