Improve the quality of the business community

(Baonghean) -With more than 10,000 enterprises and more than 31,000 entrepreneurs (accounting for 1.5% of the total number of entrepreneurs in the country), Nghe An is one of the most strongly developing provinces in the business sector in the North Central and Central Coast regions. Enterprises and entrepreneurs in our province are making great contributions to society and are receiving attention from the province in improving the quality of its workforce...

Nghe An Petroleum Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company presented gifts to support the families of victims of the Co quarry collapse (Yen Thanh).

Most of Nghe An businessmen are young and have quite high professional qualifications. Currently, up to 70% of businessmen have university and post-graduate degrees, which shows that the businessmen in our province are trained quite basically (the number of businessmen with less than a quarter of the survey number). According to the report of the Cooperative Union, currently in our province, there are 133/685 cooperative directors with university degrees, nearly 20 directors with college degrees... and only 41 directors who have not been trained (these are all agricultural cooperatives).

Besides the advantage of training level, a current problem is that 98% of enterprises in our province are small and medium-sized, mainly micro and small enterprises, so the team of entrepreneurs still has certain limitations. There are not many brands that can compete in the market, especially the international market, so the important solution now is to focus on prioritizing investment capital sources to expand production - business, improve competitiveness in the market, and training entrepreneurs is also very important. It is known that in recent times, all levels, functional branches and enterprises have paid great attention to training entrepreneurs, through organizing training courses for enterprises. Nghe An Political School has opened 9 training courses for entrepreneurs and enterprises with 871 entrepreneurs participating. Departments, branches and sectors such as: Planning - Investment, Science - Technology, Finance, Culture, Sports & Tourism, Tax Department, Customs ... have opened more than 100 classes for 11,240 students who are business owners, accountants, business managers and state management officials at the provincial and district levels, to study and research 30 topics of all kinds. Implementing the program to support the business sector of Nghe An province (BSPS), 205 training classes have been opened to improve capacity for senior officials and businesses with 33,541 participants. In addition, through the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, the Association of Women Entrepreneurs, and the Cooperative Union, many training classes have been opened to improve the capacity of business and cooperative management... With effective investment in training, the qualifications of entrepreneurs have been improved. Therefore, the past time has provided businessmen with important knowledge in integration, information for businesses to be confident in production and business, to make satellites or boldly invest in projects.

The strong development of enterprises and entrepreneurs in Nghe An has created many jobs for workers, increased contributions to the state budget and created dynamism and efficiency of the economy. According to statistics, from 2011 to now, the business sector has contributed to solving jobs for more than 177 thousand workers (accounting for 11% of the total labor force in society). Especially, in the difficult conditions of the world economy, at the same time implementing Resolution 11 - CP and tightening investment policies... many enterprises in our province still develop strongly, contributing a large budget to the State. In the period of 2006 - 2011, the average budget revenue from enterprises was 1,959 billion VND, accounting for 52.8%, of which domestic revenue accounted for 37.6%, export revenue 15.2%. In 2010, there were only 100 enterprises participating in export, but now there are 124 enterprises participating in export activities and the export turnover reached 483.3 million USD, the import turnover is 134.4 million USD.

Although training is highly valued, many businesses report that the timing of training sessions is often inappropriate, often at the end of the year, when businesses are very busy. Therefore, many training sessions have not attracted a large number of business people to attend, affecting the effectiveness of training and knowledge development for business people.
