Wide open job opportunities in Nghe An

Workers want to work in their hometown

Through the media, knowing that Nghe An province will organize the first job fair of 2025 on February 8 at VSIP Industrial Park, Nguyen Linh Chi, in Tan Son commune, Do Luong district, has fully prepared her qualifications and documents to be ready to apply on time. With a bachelor's degree from the National Economics University in hand, job opportunities may be open to her in big cities, however, this girl born in 2002 wants to return to her hometown Nghe An to work.

Linh Chi shared: “After graduating in 2024, there are many companies and businesses in Hanoi that need to recruit with a fairly high starting salary, however, I want to be close to my family, I don't want to work far away. Therefore, I decided to look for opportunities in my hometown, even though the income may be lower, but in return I have the conditions to return to my parents, feel comfortable, and avoid the expensive life like in big cities."

After 1 day of research, Linh Chi decided to apply to a company in VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park that was suitable for the business administration major that Chi had graduated from and registered to study Chinese to facilitate communication at the company.

After 7 years of working in Japan, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, in Hanh Quang commune, Dien Chau district, decided to return to his hometown to find a stable job, not wanting to continue to travel abroad. After the Lunar New Year, seeing businesses in VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park posting recruitment ads, especially needing about 36,000 unskilled workers, Mr. Quang decided to give it a try.

Mr. Quang confided: After a period of working abroad in Japan, I was able to build a house and pay off my family's basic debt, and have a small amount of capital to do business. However, my parents are now old, and I don't want to go far anymore, so I decided to return. Fortunately, businesses have recruited unskilled workers, so we meet all the criteria. Although the salary cannot be compared to before, I accept it to live a stable life in my hometown.

At the first job fair in 2025 held in Hung Nguyen district, according to the reporter's records, not only young workers but also many middle-aged workers appeared. Most of these workers had spent their youth working far away in the provinces in the South and the North, and now returned to look for work in their hometown. There were also many cases where, instead of sticking to the fields and crops all year round, they tried their hand at jobs that did not require too high skills in industrial parks but still provided a good income.

Ms. Phan Thi Canh, residing in Hung Nguyen town, shared: Hearing that the job fair was being held right in the district, I was very excited and waited for the day to apply. Although I am over 40 years old, it is difficult to find a job that requires good health and high skills. However, there are still businesses recruiting people up to 50 years old for the position of assistant or cleaning worker, factory cleaner with a salary of 5-6 million VND, not including overtime. This income is also okay, it is difficult to earn such a salary in farming.

According to statistics, Nghe An province currently has over 1.6 million workers, accounting for nearly 50% of the total population of the province (3.3 million people). However, in reality, there are currently up to 700,000 workers working outside the province and nearly 100,000 workers working abroad. Therefore, the task of helping workers "leave their farms and never leave their hometowns" is of particular concern to departments, branches and localities. The good news is that from 2024 up to now, the trend of workers gradually returning to Nghe An to start a business is increasing.

Strengthening the connection between labor supply and demand

The first Job Fair in 2025 organized by Nghe An province at VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park is one of the important events, opening up many job opportunities for workers who are looking for jobs in many fields in Nghe An as well as helping businesses recruit abundant labor resources, meeting the requirements of production and business activities. There are 24 businesses participating in consulting and recruiting labor at the fair, with more than 42,000 job positions, of which, 36,000 are unskilled workers and over 4,000 are trained workers.

According to the Southeast Economic Zone Management Board, in 2025, Nghe An province will organize two more rounds of connecting labor supply and demand through job fairs at Nam Cam Industrial Park and Hoang Mai 1 Industrial Park.

Faced with the potential and advantage of abundant labor resources, businesses are also implementing recruitment policies with appropriate criteria as well as attractive incentives to attract workers.

The company's representative said that the company's workers will have an income of 7 million to 30 million VND/month, depending on the position.

At the job fair at VSIP Hung Nguyen Industrial Park, Comrade Bui Thanh An - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that this is an important event for workers and businesses. It is necessary to replicate this model of connecting labor supply and demand in the coming time, especially in localities with potential and advantages in labor resources such as Nghe An.

Enterprises and localities need to do a good job of propaganda before, during and after the job fair to create attraction, spread widely, deeply and specifically to the people. In the long term, it is necessary to set up a job information website for each industrial park; publicize and transparently provide job information, regimes, salary policies, bonuses, housing, social welfare to have large, regular and continuous interaction; widely and specifically deploy to each village, hamlet, commune and worker...

The Management Board of the Southeast Economic Zone, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the Department of Education and Training, the People's Committees of districts, cities, towns, schools; job placement centers and enterprises need to have regulations for long-term coordination and cooperation from career orientation, education streaming, vocational training and job placement for children of the province after graduation.
