High-quality human resources - The decisive factor for national competitiveness and stature

In his opening speech, Deputy Head of the Hanoi Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission Vu Ha emphasized: Hanoi is facing new opportunities and challenges in the context of globalization, knowledge economy and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things are profoundly changing production methods, governance and social life.

In that context, high-quality human resources are not only an input factor for development, but have become a valuable asset - an endogenous resource, a driving force that determines the competitiveness and stature of each country and each city.

In reality, Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, the national political and administrative center, the leading center of education, science and technology, is still facing many challenges in human resource development: Unreasonable occupational structure, uneven labor quality, limited soft skills and foreign language ability. The connection between training - research - production is not tight; the mechanism to attract and reward talents has not really created a strong motivation.

The Hanoi Party Committee has clearly identified this issue and identified the development of high-quality human resources as one of three strategic breakthroughs, as shown in Program No. 06-CTr/TU (dated March 17, 2021) on "Developing culture, improving the quality of human resources, building elegant and civilized Hanoians" for the period 2021-2025.

According to comrade Vu Ha, comprehensively developing Hanoi people in terms of intelligence, courage, qualities and creativity is the foundation for the capital to make a breakthrough in the period of integration and development.

Therefore, the workshop is not only of academic significance, but also a scientific and policy forum connecting researchers, planners and implementers, contributing to the formation of a comprehensive argument system for the capital's human resource development strategy for the 2025-2030 period, with a vision to 2045.

Accelerating the formation of digital human resources

At the workshop, experts and scientists discussed many proposed solutions to develop high-quality human resources in the capital. Opinions were unanimous that for Hanoi to make a breakthrough, it needs breakthrough solutions in institutions, technology, training and preferential policies.

In a speech on the topic “Application of AI and digital transformation in management, forecasting and development of high-quality human resources in Hanoi”, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc, former Chairman of the Council of the University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Hanoi) proposed to build a human resource data analysis framework based on artificial intelligence (AI-HR Analytics) to create a unified human resource data platform, serving the analysis, forecasting of skills gaps and consulting on retraining and upgrading capacity for workers. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc also said that Hanoi needs to soon form a human resource data center associated with socio-economic development planning.

Associate Professor Dr. Tran Kim Chung, member of the Central Theoretical Council, presented a paper on “Forecasting the demand for high-quality human resources for key economic sectors of the capital by 2030”. He said that Hanoi needs to accurately forecast and regulate training according to market demand, focusing on areas with strong growth potential such as information technology, finance - banking, logistics, high-quality healthcare, creative industries and smart urban services. In particular, training must be closely linked to development practices, linking schools, research institutes and businesses.

From the perspective of higher education, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thien Dung (Water Resources University) presented a speech on the topic "Developing highly qualified human resources and talents for the Capital according to Resolution 71-NQ/TW". Thereby, he emphasized three key groups of solutions: Perfecting institutions, granting full autonomy to higher education institutions in conjunction with the revised Law on the Capital; Issuing superior remuneration mechanisms, creating a favorable working and research environment for intellectuals; Modernizing facilities and laboratories to international standards, expanding cooperation and academic exchange.

Master Dao Thi Hoang Lan (Le Hong Phong Cadre Training School) proposed three groups of strategic solutions: Innovation in training and management based on technology; Building an ecosystem to attract talent, developing a culture of innovation; Prioritizing the development of digital infrastructure, promoting international integration in training and research.

Associate Professor, Dr. Luong Thu Ha (School of Business - National Economics University) shared the research results on "The level of digital transformation in economic higher education institutions in Hanoi". Associate Professor, Dr. Ha pointed out seven main factors affecting the application of technology in teaching, thereby proposing to accelerate digital transformation in higher education to form digital human resources, a decisive factor in Hanoi's competitiveness in the next decade.

In his closing speech at the workshop, Dr. Bui Van Thach, Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, acknowledged and highly appreciated the enthusiastic opinions, and emphasized that Hanoi City needs to focus on three major breakthroughs in institutions and policies for rewarding talents, in technology and digital transformation in management, training, and in the State-school-enterprise linkage model.

He affirmed that only by daring to innovate thinking and action, can the capital Hanoi attract and maximize the intelligence and creativity of high-quality human resources, thereby aiming to become a center of knowledge, a creative, smart urban area, with regional and international competitiveness.
