Close connection between supply and demand
From the above analytical data, it shows that human resources of the city in general and in industrial parks and economic zones are lacking in quantity and weak in quality. For human resources with college, university and post-university degrees, most students graduate only with theoretical knowledge, limited creativity, lack of practical skills and foreign language proficiency. Information technology is still low, teamwork skills are not high... so approach to work is slow. With a very short training period (because businesses train themselves after recruitment), a small number become skilled, the rest do not meet the conditions to become high-quality human resources.
