On the morning of July 4, 2026, the Job Fair connecting and recruiting workers for businesses in the Economic Zone and Industrial Parks of Nghe An province (Phase 3, 2026) took place at Hoang Mai I Industrial Park. Attending the fair were Mr. Bui Thanh An - Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PPC); leaders of various departments and agencies; leaders of businesses; and a large number of workers.

Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC Bui Thanh An, together with leaders of provincial departments and agencies and workers, received career counseling and recruitment information for employment at enterprises, as well as vocational training consultation and career orientation for the future.

Strengthening the connection between labor supply and demand, supporting businesses in recruitment.

The third Job Fair, organized by the Management Board of the Southeast Nghe An Economic Zone, aims to strengthen the connection between labor supply and demand, support businesses in recruitment, and create job opportunities for workers right in their hometown. This is the first time the Job Fair has come to the northern region – where the Hoang Mai I, Hoang Mai II, Dong Hoi, and Nghia Dan industrial parks are rapidly developing, creating an increasing demand for skilled, disciplined, and industrially-minded human resources.

Organizing a Job Fair is not only an activity connecting businesses and job seekers, but also a practical bridge helping workers find stable jobs right in their hometowns; helping businesses access suitable and timely human resources. At the same time, it provides students with more practical information to help them orient their careers in line with the needs of the labor market.

Speaking at the event, Nguyen Manh Loi, Deputy Head of the Management Board of the Southeast Nghe An Economic Zone and Deputy Head of the Job Fair Organizing Committee, expressed his hope that workers would find jobs that match their abilities and aspirations; that businesses would recruit human resources that meet production requirements; and that students would have more basis to choose the right career path.

The Deputy Head of the Job Fair Organizing Committee requested that businesses provide complete and transparent information on recruitment and policies; and that job seekers proactively seek information and exchange information directly at the booths to find the most suitable and best job position for themselves.

The Management Board of the Southeast Nghe An Economic Zone is committed to continuing to work alongside businesses in improving the investment and business environment, supporting recruitment, connecting training, and developing sustainable human resources for the northern part of the province in particular and the entire province in general.

Building a dynamic, humane, and sustainable labor market.

Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC Bui Thanh An speaks

Speaking at the event, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Bui Thanh An, said: In the first six months of 2026 – the first year of implementing the Resolution of the 20th Provincial Party Congress – Nghe An province has experienced many encouraging signs. The province's GRDP growth rate is estimated at approximately 9.65%, with industrial production continuing to be the driving force: the Industrial Production Index (IIP) is estimated to increase by 23.01%, with the processing and manufacturing industry increasing by as much as 25.02%. Goods export turnover is estimated at over 3.15 billion USD, an increase of 58.4% compared to the same period; the group of electronic equipment and components alone accounted for 53.4% of the total turnover and increased by over 173.4% – showing that Nghe An is rising to become a regional center for electronic component production.

The province saw the establishment of 2,884 new businesses, a 3.44% increase compared to the same period last year. Investment capital continued to flow strongly into the province, with total newly registered and increased investment capital approximately 5.1 times higher than the same period last year; many large-scale FDI projects such as Luxshare-ICT, Radiant, Runergy, and Innovation Precision have been operating stably; along with the addition of new production capacity from projects such as Sihitek, Luxshare-ICT 2, and JunHao electronic materials. Notably, the intensified efforts to connect labor supply and demand have contributed to creating approximately 24,800 new jobs in the first six months of the year.

These figures not only reflect the growth momentum but also confirm the current high demand for labor, with each new job opening creating new development opportunities for workers in the province. This is also an important foundation for the province to strive to achieve double-digit GRDP growth for the whole year of 2026.

Today's job fair brings together businesses from the Hoang Mai I, Hoang Mai II, Dong Hoi, and Nghia Dan industrial zones, seeking to fill approximately 1,500 positions, ranging from unskilled laborers to technicians and skilled workers. The strong shift towards the electronics and high-tech industries is creating opportunities for workers who are eager to learn and improve their skills.

Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC Bui Thanh An Hopefully , workers will confidently approach recruitment booths, directly discuss and thoroughly understand the job, salary, and benefits to make the most suitable choice. Right here in Hoang Mai, in their hometown, workers can absolutely find stable jobs with good income and a professional environment, while still being close to family and loved ones – something many previously had to leave their hometowns to achieve.

The province understands that while salary is a necessary condition for long-term employee retention, the sufficient condition lies in a safe and stable living environment and a secure future to build. Therefore, alongside attracting investors, the province is focusing on implementing social housing projects with the goal of completing 2,000 units by 2026, prioritizing areas around industrial zones; and simultaneously gradually improving facilities such as schools, healthcare , culture, and sports so that each worker not only has a job but also a fulfilling and happy life.

To the graduating students, the Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC urged them to confidently seize opportunities, not hesitate to start with internships to cultivate a professional work ethic and discipline; proactively improve their foreign language skills, digital skills, and life skills to be ready to work in the environment of multinational corporations. He encouraged them to use their intellect, youthful energy, and desire to contribute to help businesses bring Nghe An-branded products to the world.

To ensure the Job Fair truly goes in-depth and yields sustainable results, the Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC requested the Management Board of the Southeast Economic Zone, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Education and Training, the Provincial Employment Service Center, the local authorities of wards and communes, training institutions, and the business community to continue closely following and concretizing Project No. 40-DA/TU of the Provincial Party Committee, Directive No. 33-CT/TU of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Plan No. 165/KH-UBND of the Provincial People's Committee; considering the connection between labor supply and demand and human resource development as a regular task, linked to the province's double-digit growth target.

Promoting recruitment on digital platforms, building a continuously updated job database, and establishing seamless connections between workers, schools, and businesses will ensure that networking activities take place not only during job fairs but throughout the year.

Businesses, vocational training institutions, and high schools in the area proactively sign and implement training cooperation regulations based on "orders," linking training to actual needs so that students can find employment immediately after graduation, and businesses have a qualified workforce.

The Permanent Vice Chairman of the PPC requested that investors and businesses always consider their employees as their most valuable asset; paying attention to wages, benefits, and safe and friendly working conditions so that each employee truly considers the enterprise as their second home and a long-term partner in the enterprise's development.

Nghe An - the homeland of the beloved President Ho Chi Minh - will always stand alongside, listen to, and share with businesses and workers. The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee believes that, with the joint efforts and cooperation of the government, the business community, and each worker, they will together build a dynamic, humane, and sustainable labor market.
