Accordingly, the above enterprises all evaluate Nghe An workers as hard-working, diligent, industrious, and quick to grasp the job. Enterprises also sign labor contracts in accordance with regulations. The income of workers depends on each company but ranges from 6.5 to 10 million VND/month.

At the survey, a representative of VSIP Nghe An Co., Ltd. - the industrial park infrastructure business unit said: currently VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park has attracted 34 projects, of which 15 are FDI projects. Accordingly, 22 projects have gone into production, 4 projects are building factories, 8 projects are completing related legal procedures.

The total workforce in VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park is 14,000. Through a survey of customers, VSIP Nghe An said that it is expected to need about 4,000 workers in 2022 related to industries such as: auto parts, electronics, garment;... between the ages of 18 and 40, of which 85% - 90% are unskilled workers, and mainly female workers.

However, according to the survey, businesses are currently facing many difficulties such as: the working style in the industrial environment of some workers is not high; the stability and attachment of workers to their jobs are low, "ready to come and ready to go".

Along with that, businesses have difficulty recruiting unskilled workers to meet the demand; on the other hand, workers with foreign language skills in Chinese and Korean are also lacking.

These are the issues that businesses have proposed to the survey team for solutions, and at the same time, they want to develop some social infrastructure around VSIP Industrial Park such as markets to create favorable conditions for workers' lives after work.

Through the work, on behalf of the survey team, Vice Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Council Nguyen Nhu Khoi emphasized that opinions on policies in training, recruitment and use of human resources of enterprises will help the province calculate vocational training in training facilities to meet recruitment requirements.
