Seventy percent of businesses would focus on re-educating and training their workforce in new skills needed on the job, said a human resources survey.
According to the survey conducted in 605 businesses by recruitment company Talentnet and its global counterpart Mercer last year, 20 percent of respondents were looking to recruit more workers this year.
These were firms in fields like finance, banking, insurance and construction, Tieu Yen Trinh, general director of Talentnet, said at a recent human resource management conference.
Southern Vietnam currently lacks healthcare and pharmacy personnel, while northern Vietnam has increasing demand for workers in high-tech and IT fields because more and more businesses were expanding operations in the region, Trinh said.
