Urgent need for digital human resource development

In the Draft Action Program to implement the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, a key content mentioned is "Building and implementing a digital human resource development program to equip workers with comprehensive digital skills, meeting the requirements of digital economic and social development".

Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Kien Giang University, stated that in the context of digital economy and digital society becoming the main development trend globally, human resources are the decisive factor in the competitiveness of each country. Therefore, the early development and implementation of the Digital Human Resources Development Program is an urgent requirement today.

He said the urgency of the Program is demonstrated through five core contents.

The first is to meet the requirements of transforming the growth model. “The digital economy is expected to contribute an increasingly high proportion to the national GDP. If digital human resources are not developed, the economy will fall behind and will not be able to take advantage of new growth opportunities,” Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho stated.

According to Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Kien Giang University, the early development and implementation of the Digital Human Resources Development Program is an urgent requirement.

The second is to overcome the shortage of digitally skilled workers. According to Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho, many businesses are currently facing difficulties in recruiting high-tech personnel. If they do not focus on retraining and improving skills, the Vietnamese workforce will face the risk of losing their jobs right at home.

The third is to ensure that national digital transformation takes place comprehensively. He believes that the success of digital transformation does not only come from technology, but the core lies in people. Digital human resources are the key condition for the development of digital government , digital economy and digital society.

Fourth is adapting to the rapid fluctuations of the labor market. “The development of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the global occupational structure. The digital workforce program will help workers maintain their competitiveness in the face of market fluctuations,” Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho emphasized.

Finally, the development and implementation of the Digital Human Resources Development Program will create a competitive advantage in international integration. High-quality digital human resources are a "magnet" to attract investment, especially from leading technology corporations...

Digital human resource development solutions

From the above analysis, the Chairman of the Council of Kien Giang University proposed 6 groups of key, systematic solutions to comprehensively develop digital human resources.

First is to perfect the mechanism and policies. Focus on issuing a National Digital Skills Framework according to international standards; at the same time, have preferential policies on tax and credit to encourage businesses to participate in digital skills training for workers.

Another particularly important solution is to reform the education system. Build a compulsory digital skills education program from primary to post-graduate levels; expand training in core fields such as AI, big data, and cybersecurity; strengthen the connection between schools and businesses in training and applied research.

Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho also proposed developing skills for existing workers. Organizing programs to raise awareness and digital transformation skills for workers in all fields; implementing specific training by occupational group to meet local needs.

On the other hand, strengthen cooperation and attract technology enterprises. Encourage large technology corporations to participate in human resource training; at the same time, cooperate with international organizations (such as UNESCO, ITU...) to transfer programs, certificates and digital skills standards.

In addition, we should pay attention to investing in infrastructure and digital learning platforms; by developing a national learning data platform, digital competency profiles of workers; building a shared online training system; and at the same time, popularizing high-speed Internet connections to all regions.

Finally, Dr. Nguyen Huu Tho emphasized the need to evaluate the effectiveness and promote the digital labor market. Build a mechanism to forecast the demand for digital human resources by industry and region; recognize and connect digital skills certificates in the labor market; encourage innovative startups in the field of digital technology...
