Highly qualified workers have more recruitment opportunities
The labor market in 2025 will flourish with increased recruitment demand, especially in the industrial and technology industries, thanks to economic recovery.
Developing high-quality human resources
Mr. Hoang Van Duong - Director of Lien Minh Maritime Joint Stock Company (Hai An Ward, Hai Phong City) - is witnessing a clear recovery of the Maritime industry after a period of heavy impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Mr. Duong said that along with the recovery of shipping, the demand for officers and crew members - which are an important link in the operation of the fleet - has increased again.
In 2025 alone, the number of crew members trained and provided by enterprises will increase by about 20-25% compared to the previous year.
If in previous years, the work of training maritime human resources faced many difficulties and shortages in both quantity and quality, the current picture of human resources has "changed". This change is associated with the Party's major policy in the period of 2021-2030 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training, and development of high-quality human resources.
From a business perspective, Mr. Duong said that the company prioritizes recruiting graduates from maritime schools, then continuing to provide training, especially improving foreign language proficiency, before transferring them to work on international fleets.
Over the past 17 years, the company has actively participated in the Vietnam Sailors' Quality Improvement Project (VSUP), jointly operated and managed by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the All-Japan Seafood Trade Union and the Vietnam Maritime Corporation Trade Union. The training courses lasted 4 months, helping workers perfect foreign language skills, expertise and professional ethics before working on the ship.
Looking at reality, Mr. Duong affirmed that the quality of Vietnamese crew members has now met the requirements of Japanese and Taiwanese ship owners (China) from health, professional ethics, foreign language proficiency to professional capacity.
The labor market is booming with economic recovery
Speaking with Lao Dong, Dr. Nguyen Quoc Viet - Deputy Director of the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) - said that the improvement of the labor market in 2025 comes from the positive and comprehensive changes of the macro economy.
Mr. Viet said that the picture of labor is reinforced when observed from the perspective of the total demand of the economy, especially investment capital flows.
If previously the private enterprise sector mainly focused on the fields of services, real estate, retail sales or some key agricultural products, in the past 5 years, the trend has changed significantly. Many private enterprises have shifted to key sectors of the economy such as infrastructure construction, steel manufacturing, mechanical engineering, automotive, machinery manufacturing, as well as the maturity of a series of enterprises in the supporting industry and high-tech industry.
The trend of restructuring will lead to great demand for recruitment for highly qualified, skilled and skilled labor forces, and at the same time, it is compatible with the shift of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam in recent years.
In 2025, Vietnam's total registered FDI capital will exceed 38 billion USD, the implementation capital will reach the highest level in 5 years, while import-export turnover will approach the 930 billion USD mark, reflecting the resilience of the manufacturing - export sector and the increasingly clear role of FDI in economic growth and international integration.
