MANY FRANK, OPEN, RESPONSIBLE OPINIONS

In his opening speech at the dialogue, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung emphasized that over the years, Party committees and authorities at all levels have always paid special attention to youth, always creating opportunities for youth to develop and participate in the common work of the province.

Nghe An youth have strived to rise up, achieved many achievements and been recognized, contributing to the overall development of the province. However, there are still many problems that youth need to overcome to better promote the movements. Among them, the biggest difficulty for youth is finding job opportunities, especially starting a business. Nghe An people in general and Nghe An youth in particular are very good and talented, but many youth have not yet affirmed their responsibility to enrich themselves and their homeland.

Highly appreciating the theme of the dialogue conference, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that, in addition to enriching themselves through the spirit of entrepreneurship and career building, young people also contribute to the development of their homeland, so that Nghe An can soon become a prosperous province as President Ho Chi Minh wished during his lifetime.

"The provincial leaders wish to listen to frank, open, responsible opinions and issues of concern to young people to discuss and answer, thereby helping them have better opportunities for employment, development opportunities, and to shoulder responsibility for the development of their homeland," the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized.

At the conference, union members and young people asked many questions related to issues closely related to job creation, digital transformation, land use conversion policies; policies to attract and recruit talents; policies to build high-tech agricultural models...

Responding to the question of Nghi Loc District Youth Union Secretary Nguyen Dinh Loc about what young people need to equip themselves with to meet the criteria and labor recruitment needs in the province's industrial parks, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that in recent years, the province has attracted many industrial park infrastructure investors, many FDI projects with large capital, and high labor demand. However, the province's human resources still have limitations, the proportion of highly skilled workers is low, not meeting the requirements of businesses.

Currently, industrial parks have 135 operating enterprises, creating jobs for 35,000 workers and in the next 3 years need 80,000-100,000 workers. Of which, the electronics manufacturing sector needs about 50,000 workers, the leather, footwear and textile sector needs about 30,000 workers. Therefore, to meet that requirement, the solution is to improve training; connect training facilities and employers. To meet the requirements of employers, workers need to change their skills, methods, equip themselves with soft skills, awareness and a more professional attitude.

Regarding the question of Secretary of the Youth Union of Yen Hoa commune (Tuong Duong) Ngo Dai Trang about equipping facilities for digital transformation, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that digital transformation is an inevitable process and is taking place strongly, so Nghe An cannot be out of this trend.

The Provincial Party Committee has issued a Resolution on digital transformation, and the Provincial People's Committee has a plan for digital transformation. The province has had a number of policies, but due to its large area and limited resources, the investment results for this work are still quite modest. In the coming time, the province will identify resources to invest in equipment and facilities for digital transformation, especially in mountainous areas.

Discussing the policy of converting land use purposes to build models and farms of member Pham Van Long - Head of the Youth Club for Economic Development of Tan Thanh Commune (Yen Thanh), the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that sectors and localities must guide and support young people in this work. The Provincial People's Committee will direct sectors and report to the Provincial People's Council to create the most favorable conditions for converting land use purposes, including converting the purpose of using rice fields and agricultural land to build models and open farms for young people.

Regarding the question about the province's policy of attracting and recruiting talents, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that, in addition to implementing the general regulations of the Central Government, in recent years, Nghe An has had mechanisms and policies to attract excellent students to work in agencies and units. From 1999 to 2022, 710 cadres, civil servants and public employees were attracted to work in State agencies. In addition, other establishments also have their own policies. However, at present, the State's policies have not met the expectations of young people and there will be recommendations for appropriate adjustments.

GOOD PREPARATION IN ATTITUDE, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE

Questioning the union members and youth, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that, in the face of increasingly high recruitment requirements and conditions from businesses, what have young people been doing to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge and skills? Of the three factors: attitude, skills, and knowledge, which factor is the most important?
