The HCMC Department of Science and Technology is gathering feedback on a draft resolution applying task assignment, ordering, and bidding methods to train high quality workers. The policy targets six priority fields to support socio-economic development and digital transformation.

Key Developments and Technical Context

HCMC plans to deploy three methods including task assignment, ordering, or bidding to mobilize public and private educational institutions, research institutes, and foreign organizations to participate in specialized workforce training.

The policy prioritizes six groups of fields including specialized healthcare, education, smart urban infrastructure, finance and commerce, culture and tourism, along with strategic technology and green economy.

Participants in the program receive full training cost support from the city budget for a maximum of 10 months per year, in exchange for committing to complete the course and fulfill subsequent work obligations.

Strategic Analysis and Industry Implications

Shifting from conventional funding support to task assignment, ordering, and bidding mechanisms helps the city proactively steer training toward actual demand for post-training job positions.

Outlook and Key Factors to Watch

The draft has not yet specified the detailed total annual budget to be allocated for each priority sector when submitted to the city People's Council.
