According to information from the People’s Committee of Nghe An province, there are currently 15,536 businesses operating in the province, employing nearly 350,000 workers. Among these, there are 260 state-owned enterprises with over 25,000 employees, 164 foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) with more than 49,000 employees, and 15,112 non-state-owned enterprises with a workforce of over 276,000.
The labor market in the first half of 2024 showed positive signs, with a substantial recovery in demand for recruitment from businesses within and outside the province.
A preliminary survey by the Nghe An Province Job Service Center revealed that in the first six months of 2024, 339 businesses intended to recruit 45,049 employees. Of these, 258 local enterprises planned to hire 28,877 workers, while 23 out-of-province enterprises aimed to recruit 7,066 laborers.
As reported by the Management Board of the Southeast Nghe An Economic Zone, in 2024 and subsequent years, several large-scale FIEs in the economic and industrial zones will commence operations, including Luxshare-ICT Nghe An 1 – Factory No. 2, Luxshare Nghe An 2, Goertek Vina, Everwin, JuTeng, Sunny, Shandong, Runergy, Foxconn, Radiant, Hoa Loi, Tan Viet, and Thien Nang. Consequently, the demand for labor has surged.
It is estimated that the demand for recruitment will remain high in the last six months of 2024 and throughout 2025, with a projected need for over 29,945 workers in the latter half of this year and over 40,000 employees in 2025.
Forecasting the labor requirements for the subsequent years, from 2025 to 2029, just the key FDI projects in the economic and industrial zones are expected to necessitate approximately 98,701 workers, predominantly in the fields of electronic component manufacturing and green energy.
A representative from Luxshare – ICT Nghe An Company shared that at the beginning of 2024, the enterprise faced challenges in recruiting workers due to its expansion and urgent orders. They have employed various recruitment methods, but only receive 60-90 job applications per day.
The company requested that the Nghe An authorities devise solutions to encourage and persuade laborers who have worked abroad to return to Vietnam and join the FIEs in the province.
The enterprise plans to train and retain employees by offering competitive salaries and providing a favorable working environment and living conditions. They also expressed their desire for the authorities, investors, and the VSIP Nghe An industrial infrastructure developer to focus on investing in supporting facilities like kindergartens, supermarkets, and schools around the industrial zones, as well as improving transportation infrastructure.
The leader of Everwin Technology Company revealed that they officially commenced operations in June this year but are facing challenges in recruiting highly skilled engineers in Nghe An. Consequently, in the initial phase, they are focusing on hiring foreign workers to meet the company’s requirements. After approximately two years of operation, they plan to recruit and train local laborers.
According to their plan, by the end of 2024, the company must recruit 4,000 employees, and by 2026, this number should reach 8,000. Thus, recruitment is a significant pressure for the company.
Currently investing in three manufacturing plants in Hoang Mai I Industrial Park in Quynh Luu district and WHA Nghe An Industrial Zone, the representative of Hoa Loi Group shared that by 2025, the group will require 25,000 employees for these three factories.
The representative of Hoa Loi Group suggested conducting a survey to determine whether the million-strong workforce of the province, comprising individuals of working age, is unemployed and from which regions. Additionally, they proposed solutions to encourage laborers working in other provinces to return to Nghe An and join the local businesses.
Mr. Bui Dinh Long, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Nghe An province, affirmed that the provincial leaders are attentive to the challenges faced by enterprises, including those related to recruitment.
Vice Chairman Bui Dinh Long instructed the Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs to take the lead in forecasting, collecting, analyzing, and connecting labor supply and demand information to align with the labor market trends.
The Management Board of the Southeast Economic Zone was tasked with monitoring the labor demands of enterprises to forecast the situation and proactively connect labor supply and demand. Additionally, they were instructed to advise and propose to the competent authorities the construction of housing areas for workers and the development of educational institutions and cultural facilities for employees in the economic and industrial zones.
Regarding the enterprises, the Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Nghe An province requested them to ensure stable and lawful production activities, implement measures to increase employees’ income to match or surpass that of other provinces, and focus on social security policies for workers. He also emphasized the importance of collaboration with training and vocational education institutions to meet the demand for highly skilled laborers.
