Enterprises have difficulty recruiting workers
As a garment enterprise with 100% investment capital in Hong Kong (China), with a variety of products such as dress pants, shirts, and tailoring, Vietnam Garment Manufacturing Limited Liability Company (TAL) plans to expand 10 more production lines to meet orders signed with partners, so it needs to recruit 800 new workers.
"The company's labor recruitment is currently facing many difficulties due to recruitment competition with other companies in the area. In addition, young workers are less interested in the garment industry, so up to now, the company has only recruited 46% of their needs, said Mr. Pham Hong Quan, Human Resources Director, TAL Company.
To overcome that situation, the company has introduced many attractive salary and bonus incentives; proactively established technical departments to train workers from basic to in-depth, expanding the recruitment of workers from other provinces such as Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho with policies to support accommodation and travel for workers.
Similarly, Haesung Vina Vinh Phuc Limited Liability Company (Khai Quang Industrial Park) is in need of recruiting 500 unskilled workers with a salary of 7 - 10 million VND/month. Although they do not require degrees or experience to serve the new production line, they still do not recruit enough workers.
According to the survey, many businesses are in need of recruiting a large number of workers such as: BH Flex Vina Limited Liability Company needs to recruit 1,500 workers; Arcadyan Technology Limited Liability Company needs to recruit nearly 1,700 workers; Vietnam Precision Industry Limited Liability Company 1 needs to recruit more than 1,500 workers; Solum Vina Limited Liability Company needs 1,500 workers...
Finding solutions to difficult problems
According to the Department of Home Affairs of Vinh Phuc province, it is expected that in the first 6 months of 2025, businesses in the area will need to recruit nearly 22,000 new workers, of which more than 14,500 workers have not been trained. occupations with high recruitment demand include: Electronics, garment, business, mechanics, technical staff...
Mr. Phung Quoc Ban - Deputy Director of the Vinh Phuc Provincial Employment Service Center said: To meet the resources for enterprises producing orders, the unit is promoting exchanges and organizing job fairs to connect labor supply and demand.
Every year, the center organizes dozens of job fairs in many forms such as fixed fairs at the center, mobile fairs at vocational education - Continuing education institutions, universities and colleges in the area.
The Center also builds a network of collaborators who are labor - employment officials in communes, wards, towns, employees, and teachers of educational centers; signs cooperation minutes, provides labor market information, and provides labor with employment service centers in remote provinces.
To find solutions to the above difficult problem, we are stepping up consulting for unemployed workers to participate in training courses, fostering, improving their qualifications and vocational skills and supporting them to find suitable jobs and return to the labor market soon, said Mr. Phung Quoc Ban.
It is known that Vinh Phuc province is currently researching and issuing appropriate mechanisms and policies as well as recommending that businesses pay more attention to welfare to contribute to attracting and retaining workers such as building public and essential utilities, social housing for workers, etc.
To enhance the connection between labor supply and demand, Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee recently organized a 2025 job fair attracting the participation of 30 businesses, units, vocational training institutions and hundreds of students, students, and workers.
At the fair, candidates can access and learn about the training capacity of vocational training institutions, receive advice on loan policies, vocational training support and job creation from the Central and local governments.
