For a long time, when mentioning the work of caring for workers, many people often think of gifts, support packages or welfare programs.
However, there is another form of care, more silent but bringing more sustainable value, which is to give workers the opportunity to study to improve their cultural and professional qualifications. The story of many businesses in Dong Nai coordinating with trade unions to open continuing education classes in culture, foreign languages, informatics, management skills and vocational training for workers is a notable example.
For many workers, especially workers from rural areas or those in difficult circumstances, having to stop studying early and not having conditions to continue studying, improving their qualifications and skills is not uncommon.
Therefore, classes organized right at businesses become a bridge to help them improve their knowledge, enhance their capacity and open the door to careers.
Reality shows that the learning needs of workers today are very large. Many people want to complete general education programs, learn more foreign languages, informatics or improve professional skills to have opportunities for promotion and increase income.
However, not everyone has conditions in terms of time, funding or suitable learning environment. Therefore, the fact that trade unions and businesses proactively bring classes closer to workers is a very practical way, meeting the actual needs of the labor force in industrial parks.
A continuing education degree, a certificate of skills, or a professional training course can create better job opportunities and higher incomes for many years afterwards.
And reality has proven that. Many workers in Dong Nai, after participating in training programs, have become team leaders, forerunners or management officials.
Many people have technical innovation initiatives that bring tens of thousands of USD in value to businesses each month. These results show that investing in people is always the most effective investment.
Businesses possessing a skilled, skillful and learning-minded workforce will help improve productivity, reduce waste and increase competitiveness.
In the context of increasingly strong digital transformation, automation and international integration, businesses that possess a high-quality human resource team will have a greater advantage in the market.
A noteworthy point in the story of helping workers improve their self-worth in Dong Nai is the organizational role, the bridge of the Trade Union, alongside the efforts of businesses.
And Dong Nai's approach is also a valuable reference experience for many other localities with many workers.
The replication of cultural supplementary models, vocational skills training and lifelong learning right at the enterprise will contribute to building a high-quality labor force, meeting the development requirements in the new stage nationwide.
When workers are trained, businesses have more motivation to develop and the economy will have more quality human resources. These are multi-dimensional benefits that no short-term support program can replace.
