On the other hand, the work of preparing personnel for the new executive committee is an important content, therefore, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union requires the preparation process to be carried out democratically, publicly, in accordance with regulations and rules, on the basis of approved personnel planning; selecting and introducing comrades with virtue and talent, ensuring the prescribed standards; paying attention to female cadres, ethnic minorities, union members with especially outstanding achievements, typical of youth classes in the locality and unit.

Accordingly, the new executive committee must ensure standards, be exemplary in terms of quality, capacity, prestige, solidarity, and have reasonable numbers, structures, and ages. The process of preparing personnel must be associated with strengthening grassroots organizations, improving the quality of union members and union cadres, and with planning and training cadres. In terms of age, the average at the grassroots level is under 28, at the district level is under 29, and at the provincial level is under 31.

Discussing the requirements for the Youth Union congresses at all levels, Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union Pham Tuan Vinh said: The Youth Union congresses at all levels and the 17th Congress of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Nghe An province must thoroughly grasp the guiding ideology of the Resolution of the 12th National Party Congress, the Resolution of the 18th Nghe An Provincial Party Congress and the direct and comprehensive leadership of the Party Committee.
