In the period 2016 - 2020, the state budget supported vocational training institutions in the province with 189,018 billion VND.

In addition to the achieved results, the province's vocational education still has difficulties, such as the training level structure in vocational education is still unreasonable, mainly elementary level and regular, short-term training. Although the quality of vocational training has been improved, it has not met the requirements of the labor market, some workers have jobs but not in the right industry and profession.
From the above difficulties, at the working session, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs also proposed many issues such as the Ministry needs to soon submit to the Government a project to rearrange the national vocational education system so that localities have a basis to develop a project to rearrange the vocational education network. At the same time, there should be a policy mechanism to attract teachers with qualifications and vocational skills, avoiding the situation of vocational teachers quitting their jobs due to low income. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the work of streaming and career guidance, and have solutions for vocational schools to solve the difficult problem of recruiting students...
Human resource development is one of the three breakthroughs of the province.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu affirmed: Vocational education is a key and central task to improve the quality of labor resources and provincial competitiveness.

Regarding the development of high-quality key schools, in addition to the responsibility of the Central Government, it is also necessary to determine that this is the responsibility of the locality.
In the coming time, the leaders of the General Department of Vocational Education also hope that the province will pay attention and have specific plans to successfully organize the National Vocational Education Teachers' Conference in Nghe An next year.
