In general, foreign-invested enterprises and non-state enterprises employing foreign workers basically comply with the provisions of Vietnamese law. The presence of foreign workers has provided high-quality human resources, contributing to improving labor productivity, promoting economic growth; creating human resources to meet the needs of foreign investors.

However, the most important goal is to contribute to training domestic and on-site human resources through osmotic interaction; creating a competitive environment, learning, and transferring science and technology between Vietnamese and foreign workers, which has not been as expected.

A report by the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Nghe An Province reflects the fact that foreign employers have not seriously recruited and trained Vietnamese workers to replace foreign positions, with the aim of recruiting more foreign workers and extending the working time of foreigners./.
