According to Ms. Le Thi Hoang Oanh, each job position has its own requirements for employees. Some positions only require high school graduates, hard-working, good health, progressive and willing to work shifts.

Regarding requirements, employees must know foreign languages, have good communication skills, be confident, be able to handle work pressure and have good calculation ability. If the employee is selected, the company will arrange time for direct vocational training at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

Meet the resources of the early stage of operation

Long Thanh Airport is a key national aviation infrastructure project, entering the final stage to meet the schedule for phase 1 operation in 2026. When officially put into operation, it is estimated that about 14,000 personnel will be needed, including college and university graduates and general workers. Of these, more than 5,000 people have a university degree or higher, more than 2,000 people have college or intermediate degrees, and the rest are general workers. This force spans many fields: aviation services, flight management, air transport, logistics, security, etc.

Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director of Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), said: Long Thanh Airport is one of the key national infrastructure projects of strategic significance. The project aims to become a leading aviation transit hub in the region and the world. For such a large-scale project to operate effectively, the key factor is not only infrastructure and technology, but also human resources, a team of dedicated and professional officers, engineers, specialists, and operators. ACV is hosting the job fair, bringing many career opportunities to students and enthusiastic young workers.

“ACV commits to not only recruiting, but also accompanying employees throughout the process of training, skill development, and career development. In recruitment activities, ACV prioritizes recruiting people from Dong Nai province, especially households whose land has been recovered to serve the Long Thanh Airport project,” Mr. Cuong shared at the job fair.

To proactively provide human resources for serving inside and outside Long Thanh Airport, the People's Committee of Dong Nai Province has approved the Project on Training Human Resources for Long Thanh Airport in the period of 2024-2030, focusing on training 4,800 local workers in line with job position needs. Specifically, in the period of 2024-2026, 1,600 workers will be trained; in the period of 2027-2030, an additional 3,200 workers will be trained. People in Dong Nai Province, especially households in the project area, will be supported with vocational training costs and given priority in job referrals.

Training fields include: ground equipment operation, passenger service, logistics, flight coordination, hotel and tourism services around the airport. The training fields are diverse, from airport operations, aviation security, technical maintenance, to logistics services, restaurants, hotels, trade, tourism, finance and banking. This is not only a simple vocational training but also a strategy for social security, sustainable development, prioritizing people whose land has been recovered and young workers in the locality, linked to recruitment commitments of aviation businesses.

Continue to train workers to ensure smooth operations

To prepare resources for Long Thanh Airport in the initial stage of operation, ACV has prepared a job fair for more than a month, attracting 7 participating units. We are excited that the job fair attracted more than 9,000 registrants, a very large number, showing the interest of employees. Obviously, human resources for exploiting Long Thanh Airport are extremely important and we hope that the resources recruited this time will ensure quality standards.
