The latest labor market bulletin issued by the Hanoi Employment Service Center shows that the Capital currently has about 65% of unemployed workers, and unemployment is facing limitations in basic digital skills.
The Hanoi Employment Service Center believes that this shortage puts a large part of workers in a difficult situation when looking for new job opportunities. Notably, the automation process not only affects unskilled workers but also directly affects the administrative - office worker group.
Repeated tasks, performed according to fixed procedures such as: basic personnel administration, primary accounting, data entry or warehouse management are facing a high risk of being replaced. AI systems and automation software today have the ability to handle these work groups at high speed, accuracy and optimize operating costs more than manual methods," the newsletter stated.
According to the Hanoi Employment Service Center, the business restructuring process also creates new job positions, requiring changes in recruitment criteria. Current labor-using units are shifting to prioritizing the recruitment of human resources possessing "intersection skills" - a combination of in-depth professional knowledge and flexible technology application capabilities.
In order to meet the strict requirements of the modern labor market, workers need to proactively build a roadmap for self-training through fundamental solutions.
Skill conversion and skill upgrade: Building a flexible mindset, ready to update new knowledge and retrain expertise to suit the digitalization orientation of businesses.
Applying technology to practice: Proactively accessing and bringing artificial intelligence tools and digital office software into daily workflows to optimize labor productivity; turning technology into a powerful support tool instead of considering it a factor threatening job positions.
