Every year, Nghe An has nearly 3,000 soldiers demobilized and returning to their hometowns. The demobilized soldiers have good political qualities and a good sense of organization and discipline. Many of them have university, college, and intermediate degrees. This is a very important human resource for local construction and development.

Over the past years, Nghe An province has had specific leadership and direction in connecting with training facilities, units, and businesses to provide consultation, training, and introduce stable jobs suitable for demobilized soldiers.

The Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of the province has done a good job of advising the Provincial People's Committee on policies to support demobilized soldiers to be accepted into enterprises in Nghe An to ensure the source of reserve officers and reserve training resources.

Demobilized soldiers always promote the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers, the traditions of Nghe An province's armed forces, the traditions of their units, and the professional knowledge learned in the Army to contribute to building an increasingly prosperous homeland./.
