Be ready to face all situations when entering the labor market.

When entering the labor market, students must always be ready to face any situation because anything can happen. Perseverance, never giving up, optimism are the keys to success.

This was shared by diplomat Ton Nu Thi Ninh - President of the Ho Chi Minh City Peace and Development Foundation at the talk show "Limitations and advantages of Vietnam and Vietnamese people in building and forming human resources to meet the requirements of the new period" organized by Hoa Sen University (Ho Chi Minh City) on March 1.

Dr. Phan Thi Viet Nam, Vice Principal of Hoa Sen University, said that to realize Vietnam's goals, a breakthrough in human resources, especially high-quality human resources, will be one of the key factors. However, many experts believe that our country's labor market has not yet kept up with the pace and socio -economic development, and its adaptability, proactiveness, and flexibility are still low, especially in the face of fluctuations such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

Vietnam's human resources are considered to be both "abundant and lacking", with a surplus of low-cost workers but a shortage of highly skilled professionals. The foreign language proficiency of Vietnamese workers is not high, so they face many difficulties in the process of international integration.

At the talk, many opinions said that, besides some advantages, young Vietnamese human resources today still have some limitations. Among them, the most prominent is the lack of confidence and initiative in work.

According to Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh, in the culture of labor, there is social and national culture. Western education helps young people and workers gain confidence, but this sometimes makes them not spend enough time and the right amount to listen and understand the problem. Meanwhile, young people in Eastern culture have a bit slow reflexes, but this helps them have time to think and evaluate the problem correctly. In the context of an increasingly equal world, young Vietnamese workers need to be more alert and try harder.

Regarding the causes of the limitations of Vietnamese human resources, according to Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh, it is due to the lack of proper encouragement of the initiative of young people. According to her, society needs to further encourage the confidence and initiative of young people through various forms such as media and family education. Particularly, education in schools has had positive changes, however, it is necessary to strengthen methods, encourage young people to proactively equip themselves.

According to Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh, currently, workers are greatly supported by technology, artificial intelligence (AI), ChatGPT... but no matter how much technology develops, people are still needed, the "key" is still the brain, heart, and hands of humans. Human resources are an important and decisive factor in the development of businesses. Therefore, it is necessary to attach importance to education, to the relationship between businesses and places of training workers and human resources.

According to Dr. Phan Thi Viet Nam, with the effort to improve the quality of training, help graduates to meet the requirements of businesses immediately, reduce the time for additional training and retraining, the cooperation between schools and businesses in training high-quality human resources is always focused on development. The school always creates conditions for students, in addition to professional knowledge, to explore and position themselves, equipping them with necessary soft skills by participating in activities outside the training program.

From her own experiences, Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh emphasized that when entering the labor market, students must always be ready to face all situations. In addition, it is necessary to learn specifically about the business you want to apply for, what kind of human resources the business needs, how many people they need to evaluate the opportunities as well as the challenges they face.
