(Dan Tri) – According to experts, the current labor market requires more skills than qualifications. Therefore, many highly educated people still have to learn new skills to meet job requirements.
"Reverse communication" is gradually becoming a trend
Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien (37 years old) graduated from Ton Duc Thang University with a major in accounting since 2006, then returned to his hometown in Binh Phuoc to work for a branch of a telecommunications group. Although she has a stable job and a good income, Hien loves to make cakes.
While working here, he learned to make cakes and then sold cakes online. After that, to focus on his favorite work, he quit his job, went to professional baking classes to improve his skills, and started a business with a rather large bakery in Binh Phuoc.
According to experts education More and more workers with advanced degrees return to vocational schools to learn vocational skills like Mr. Hien.

Master Vuong Ngoc Bao Ha, Dean of Faculty of Economics and Management business Bac Lieu College of Economics and Technology, shared: “There is a trend of reverse connection, that is, people with high qualifications, master's degrees, bachelor's degrees go to intermediate schools and colleges to study. learn more vocational skills”.
According to Master Bao Ha, it is possible that during the day, a master's degree lecturer stands in the lecture hall to teach vocational school teachers who are studying undergraduate and graduate programs... But in the evening, they go to vocational schools to study skills. vocational skills taught by their own students.
Master Tran Phuong, Principal of Viet Giao Intermediate School, affirmed that this phenomenon is not uncommon. Even in this school year, his school also has many masters who study elementary and intermediate vocational skills classes, especially the kitchen profession.
Master Nguyen Thi Hoang Anh, Vice Principal in charge of Le Thi Rieng Intermediate School, also said: “At Le Thi Rieng Intermediate School, every year there are masters and bachelors who register for elementary vocational training classes. , intermediate. In which, nail art and online sales at elementary level are studied by many people with advanced degrees.
Vocational skills are increasingly important
According to Master Vuong Ngoc Bao Ha, the reason many people with advanced degrees still go to vocational training is because the current labor market has a very high level of competition, requiring workers to have a high level of technical expertise and knowledge. new skills to meet market needs.
But in the age of technology, labor skills change day by day, university curricula are difficult to keep up with, so many graduates have to return to vocational schools to study short courses and supplement job skills. specific job to fulfill the job.
For example, her experience at Bac Lieu College, professions that require a lot of practical experience such as accounting and aquaculture at intermediate level often have many bachelors of the same discipline enrolled to supplement practical skills. to meet the requirements of the job they are doing, or looking for a job.
Many occupations need workers who know more about practical skills than they are good at theory (Photo: HCM City Construction College).
According to Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association, the phenomenon of bachelors and masters returning to vocational training has many reasons such as needing more skills according to job needs; discovered that the profession he studied was not suitable for him, so he switched; Or is it simply that my field of study is currently difficult to compete with, I need to learn a new major to find a job...
Another important reason is that Vietnam's labor market currently has a very large demand for skilled workers (primary, intermediate, and college), about 70% of total labor demand, but the number of trained workers is still low. limit.
Meanwhile, the demand for labor with a university degree or higher accounts for a small proportion (from 15-20%) but is highly trained, leading to a competitive situation. job harshly and many bachelors are unemployed, working in the opposite direction.
The above reasons show that the labor market is increasingly attaching importance to vocational skills rather than qualifications, enterprises only need workers to do the job, not whether they have a high or low degree.
Employees who do not want to be fired must know how to upgrade themselves, regularly learn new skills according to the needs of the job.
Therefore, the short-term, primary and intermediate vocational skills training courses of vocational schools are increasingly playing an important role in the training of national human resources.
