To foster an attractive investment climate, Bac Giang has introduced a range of policies focused on human resource development, while also expanding its network of vocational education and training (VET) institutions.

Delegates witness the signing of a human resources training cooperation agreement between Hana Micron Vina Co., Ltd. and Bac Giang College of Industrial Techniques at a semiconductor industry seminar in April 2024.

As a result, the proportion of trained workers steadily increased from 33.5% in 2010 to 50.5% in 2015, 70% in 2020, and 76% in 2023, approximately 8% higher than the national average.

Additionally, the rate of workers with certificates or diplomas from training programmes lasting three months or more has reached 33%, surpassing the national average by 5.5%.

Despite this progress, however, the province still faces a shortage of high-quality labour.

Between 2021 and 2023, Bac Giang’s vocational institutions trained over 87,300 individuals. Of these, 18,900 were enrolled in college-level or vocational secondary programmes, accounting for 21.6% of the total workforce trained, while the rest participated in primary-level vocational courses or programmes lasting less than three months.

Currently, Bac Giang is home to around 9,500 operating businesses, providing jobs to approximately 306,000 workers, nearly 80% of whom are high school graduates.

Additionally, nearly 700 companies in the province employ around 9,300 foreign workers, primarily from China and the Republic of Korea, in roles ranging from managers and CEOs to experts and skilled technicians.

The Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA) forecasts that from 2025 to 2030, Bac Giang will need an average of 6,000 new college and university graduates annually, including around 500 managerial positions, 2,000 workers for the electric and electronics sectors, 1,800 in mechanical engineering, and the remainder in roles requiring foreign language skills.

To address these needs, one key strategy is to foster closer collaboration between schools, businesses, and workers within the vocational education sector. Bac Giang currently has 52 vocational education institutions, 31 of which are based in the province.

These institutions are authorized to enroll nearly 37,500 students annually, with more than 2,100 in college programmes, nearly 8,000 in vocational secondary courses, and the rest in primary vocational training.

The province is also poised to capitalize on the rapid growth of the semiconductor industry. Bac Giang hosts three semiconductor companies namely Synergie Cad Vietnam Co., Ltd., Si Flex Vietnam Co., Ltd., and Hana Micron Vina Co., Ltd., employing a combined 8,100 workers.

As the sector expands, these companies are expected to recruit an additional 6,300 workers from 2025 to 2030, with over 1,200 positions requiring college-level education or higher.

To fully harness this potential, Bac Giang must focus on building a skilled labour force that meets both market demands and the needs of technologies. Strengthening cooperation between training institutions, businesses, and research organizations will be essential to creating a cutting-edge education and training ecosystem.
