Emphasising that attracting and effectively utilising talent is a decisive factor in harnessing the intellectual potential of the Vietnamese people, Lieutenant General Nguyen Thanh Tuan, former Director of the Department of Political Education and Information, affirmed that when talented individuals are properly recognised and given opportunities to develop, they can become dedicated and virtuous talents who put their abilities at the service of society and the nation.

The National Strategy for Attracting, Utilising, and Developing Talent in Key Sectors to Serve the Country’s Rapid and Sustainable Development was a focal point of the fourth meeting of the 14th Party Central Committee. One of the topics garnering considerable public attention is how to train, attract, connect, and effectively deploy high-calibre talent.

The 2026 university admissions season saw, for the first time, more than half of applicants choosing at least one STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) discipline. The positive signal raises a key question: how can training quality be improved and better aligned with businesses' needs so that the country's human-resource advantage can become a driver of national development?

Da Nang has once again drawn public attention with its newly issued policy to invite talented professionals, offering an income of up to 150 million VND (5,600 USD) per month. The figure itself is striking, but what is more noteworthy is the city’s continued commitment to the principle that people are at the heart of and the driving force behind all development.
