Preparing to go into operation, Long Thanh airport is opening up a "labor mine" in the context of a volatile labor market.
Every year, universities "produce" thousands of students, and it is necessary to have units that attract a lot of labor to solve job demand.
ACV recruits 400 more personnel for the commercial exploitation phase at the end of 2026, plus thousands of satellite positions, this is clearly a great opportunity.
But job opportunities are only for people with real ability.
ACV has had 4 recruitment rounds in 2025, the team of engineers and basic technicians is basically sufficient. The remaining issue is not "lack of people", but "lack of standard people".
Reality shows the familiar paradox, candidates with good expertise are weak in foreign languages, general positions do not require high standards but are still difficult to recruit because of lack of basic skills.
This is not a separate story of a project.
The aviation industry is a field with high standards, operating according to international standards. From safety, operation to service, every position requires discipline, skills and communication skills.
There is no room for the mindset of "doing it is done", but it must be "doing it according to standards".
Salary from 15 million VND/month or more, modern environment, systematic training opportunities, these factors are attractive enough.
But today's labor market has changed, employers no longer "substandard" to fill vacancies. On the contrary, they are willing to pay higher wages to attract qualified people.
In addition, the policy of prioritizing local labor at Long Thanh Airport is a positive direction, with the goal of training and creating jobs for about 4,800 people by 2030.
However, "priority" does not mean "special treatment". Aviation industry standards are technical barriers that cannot be relaxed.
Therefore, workers must improve themselves, from foreign languages, professional skills to industrial style. Otherwise, the gap between "having a job" and "not meeting the conditions" will widen.
Long Thanh airport is not short of jobs, what is still lacking is a human resource that meets the standards to enter a labor market that is increasingly strict in terms of professional qualifications, labor discipline and industrial civilization.
From the labor recruitment rounds for Long Thanh airport, it is also a measure of the quality of training of universities and vocational schools today.
Schools with many students recruited prove that the quality of training meets the needs of society.
