Developing human resources, especially high-quality human resources, has been identified by the province as one of its three strategic breakthroughs, a crucial factor and a solid foundation for sustainable development. From a very early stage, the province has focused on developing high-quality human resources, issuing numerous specific mechanisms and policies to attract labor and develop human resources within the province.
The province has proactively developed numerous mechanisms and policies for human resource development, linked to the restructuring of the labor force in accordance with the province's socio -economic development orientation and planning. Notable achievements in the previous period include Resolution No. 15-NQ/TU (dated June 9, 2014) of the Provincial Party Committee on promoting administrative reform and developing high-quality human resources in the province until 2020, with a vision to 2030; Decision No. 2704/QĐ-UBND (dated November 17, 2014) of the Provincial People's Committee approving the human resource development plan of the province until 2020, with a vision to 2030; and Decision No. 293/QĐ-UBND (dated January 30, 2015) of the Provincial People's Committee approving the project on training, fostering, improving the quality and comprehensively developing the province's human resources until 2020.
In the recent period, the Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 35/2021/NQ-HĐND on regulating policies to attract and train high-quality human resources at Ha Long University, Quang Ninh Vietnam-Korea College, and Quang Ninh Medical College; and the Provincial People's Committee's Plan No. 117/KH-UBND (dated May 13, 2022) implementing Decision No. 146/QĐ-TTg dated January 28, 2022 of the Prime Minister approving the Project on raising awareness, popularizing skills and developing human resources for national digital transformation until 2025, with orientation to 2030.
The province also has many policies to attract and support students studying majors that serve the province's development; rewards talented individuals and outstanding students; support for vocational training in the list of encouraged professions; and support for tuition fees for students graduating from junior high school to continue their education at the intermediate and college levels within the province... At the same time, it promotes regional linkages and domestic and international cooperation in human resource development.
Thanks to specific policies and mechanisms, along with adequate investment resources, the quality of the province's human resources has been steadily improving. The percentage of trained workers has increased annually (from 62% in 2014 to 86.46% in 2023). The stature and technical expertise of the workforce are gradually meeting the needs of society and the labor market, contributing to a positive shift in the province's labor structure, improving the investment and business environment, and enhancing the PCI, PAR Index, and PAPI indicators. The province's training enrollment averages over 38,000 students per year, basically meeting the human resource needs of businesses and society. The employment rate for graduates after training has reached over 85%. During the 2021-2023 period, the province organized 603 training courses for civil servants and public employees in the province, using foreign experts and lecturers; 28 training courses for civil servants and public employees abroad; and trained approximately 18,500 people in the agricultural, industrial, commercial, construction, and tourism sectors.
In particular, to meet the needs of the labor market, the needs of learners, and keep up with practical requirements, on April 4, 2024, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 1061/QD-UBND approving the Project on Human Resource Development of the province until 2025, with a vision to 2030. The project is expected to create a breakthrough in the development of high-quality human resources, creating momentum to help the province become a centrally-governed city before 2030... According to the plan, by the end of 2025, the province aims for a total workforce of 798,280; a trained workforce rate of 87.5%; an annual training capacity of 25,500 people requiring new certification; and a postgraduate qualification rate of 16.4%. The structure of human resources across sectors will be as follows: Sector I will decrease to 22.11%; Sector II to 28.64%; and Sector III to increase to 49.25%. 62,900 civil servants will receive domestic training and professional development, corresponding to approximately 1,005 courses in the fields of public administration, politics, foreign languages, and information technology; 750 civil servants will receive training and professional development within the province through the participation of foreign experts and lecturers; and 1,100 civil servants will receive training and professional development abroad, corresponding to approximately 55 courses. By the end of 2030, the province's workforce is projected to reach approximately 874,250 people. The proportion of trained workers is expected to be around 92.5%. The workforce structure by sector will be as follows: Sector I: 16.62%; Sector II: 27.68%; Sector III: 55.7%.
To ensure the effective implementation of the Project, the province has developed several groups of solutions. These include focusing on researching and developing several mechanisms and policies for the development of the province's human resources. In particular, it has developed programs and plans for recruiting, training, and developing civil servants, public employees, and local workers, focusing on several areas: human resource management, finance, public assets, and key sectors of the province; and building a shared human resource database on the province's human resource and labor needs to serve policy planning, attraction, training, development, utilization, and management of human resources.
In addition, focus on training and improving the quality of human resources at the commune level; mobilize social and business resources to establish a scholarship fund to support training and human resource development; strengthen training linkages between schools and businesses; and train to enhance the province's digital transformation capacity.
Quang Ninh is one of the country's leading economic hubs, with a large workforce. Therefore, training high-quality human resources is considered a crucial solution to increase labor productivity and product quality. This is also the foundation for Quang Ninh to realize its goal of becoming a modern service and industrial province, one of the dynamic and comprehensive development centers in the North.
