According to the leaders of Dien Chau district, there are more than 600 businesses operating in the district with 12,000 workers. Recently, the district has worked to connect with businesses, production and business establishments in the area to create jobs for local workers.

As a locality with many businesses, especially garment and footwear factories, the demand for labor is very high. In addition, the restaurant, hotel, and tourism service industries have a high demand for labor. The problem is that workers must be trained to meet the needs of businesses.

However, the current problem in the area is that the labor demand of businesses in the district is large, but the number of local workers working far away is still large.

The awareness of vocational training among a part of rural laborers is still low, and there is still a mentality of dependence. The source of training funding is not much, and is provided late; after training, students still have difficulty accessing preferential capital to start a business, expand production and business. The implementation of vocational training socialization faces many difficulties.

Talking to the Supervisory Delegation, Secretary of Dien Chau District Party Committee - Comrade Ha Xuan Quang said: The Resolution of the District Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term identifies improving the quality of vocational training as one of the key tasks of the district.

In the coming time, the district has been paying attention to improving the quality of activities of the district's Vocational Education - Continuing Education Center, supporting operating costs for the unit.

"To improve the quality of human resource training, the province needs to conduct a survey to grasp the labor needs in the province in general and Dien Chau district in particular to have an orientation for vocational training.

The province needs to have a good coordination mechanism with companies, businesses, and corporations to provide vocational training and continue to sign contracts with businesses; there needs to be solutions to improve the qualifications of the teaching staff. Propaganda and orientation for workers to learn vocational skills" - Comrade Ha Xuan Quang proposed.
