Ms. Pham Thi Hong Yen - Chairwoman of the Grassroots Trade Union of Intel Products Vietnam Company - said that in recent days, many workers and Ms. Yen herself have always followed the 14th Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union for the 2026 - 2031 term and the success of the 14th Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union has left many feelings of pride and expectations.
Ms. Yen believes that in the digital age and a volatile environment, workers' learning is no longer an option, but an inevitable path. If previously, a university degree was a source of pride, now it is only the initial foundation. More importantly, lifelong learning - a journey to help workers and union members improve their capacity, seize opportunities for promotion and gradually realize their own aspirations. Especially in high-tech industries, where knowledge determines productivity, training becomes even more of a "key" to open the future.
The Prime Minister's speech at the closing session of the Congress on the Government's commitment to accompany and support the business community in developing science, technology and digital transformation and supporting digital skills training, new vocational skills, supporting retraining, vocational conversion training, ensuring sustainable employment for workers and the Government's assignment to the Ministry of Education and Training to study the transformation of training models in a flexible direction, suitable to practical requirements and meeting the needs of businesses, has created a strong impression, arousing belief in a development strategy with workers at the center. This is not only policy support, but also encouragement for workers to boldly study and develop themselves. When their qualifications are improved, workers have the opportunity to advance faster, their incomes improve significantly, thereby improving the quality of life for themselves and their families," Ms. Yen said.
Ms. Yen also said that reality has proven that labor productivity can only be improved and enhanced when workers are equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills, just as General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized in his speech at the opening session of the XIV Vietnam Trade Union Congress: "There is no high labor productivity if workers are not trained, cared for, protected and inspired with the desire to contribute.
