Under the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Corporation's (VINASHIN) development strategy, approved by the Government, VINASHIN will have 120,000 staff by 2010 and 200,000 by 2020. To meet the demand, VINASHIN annually trains nearly 15,000 workers, 400 managerial staff, and 1,200 professional staff. This is really an urgent requirement.
VINASHIN includes more than 300 members, including Binh Dinh Shipbuilding Industry-Transportation joint stock company (Binh Dinh VINASHIN). Binh Dinh VINASHIN is currently the investor for five projects in Binh Dinh and one of which has been kicked off since 2006.
The company is employing a total of nearly 200 staff, but by 2012 it will need 5,000, including 4,000 for Nhon Hoi Shipbuilding Industry factory, 350 for fleets, 500 for other projects, and 150 for professional activities.
After being set up, Binh Dinh VINASHIN initially employed 20 engineers and bachelors and had them trained at big companies, other shipbuilding factories, and universities. VINASHIN established a representative office of shipbuilding industry secondary school No.3 (Techshin III) in Binh Dinh in 2006. Until now, six courses with 400 trainees have been opened, according to Binh Dinh VINASHIN's director, Le Dinh Minh.
Also, to provide technical workers for Nhon Hoi shipbuilding industry factory and neighboring ones, VINASHIN decided to set up a Binh Dinh-based shipbuilding industry vocational secondary school (Shinco V) which is planned to open in the early fourth quarter of 2007. As planned, 1,000 trainees will be annually trained to meet the demand of human resource.
Alongside this, VINASHIN continued developing fleets in Binh Dinh. Binh Dinh VINASHIN has built many freighters, container ships with heavy load in recent years. Binh Dinh VINASHIN's fleet is expected to reach 42,800 DWT by 2009 and 130,000 DWT by 2012. Binh Dinh VINASHIN has actively recruited people to provide crew for fleets.
VINASHIN decided to invest VND60 billion in the construction of Shinco V. The expenditure for the Shinco V's training program in 5-10 years was approved, said Le Dinh Minh. He also believed that with the VINASHIN's concern, efforts of Binh Dinh VINASHIN, and the support of Binh Dinh people and authorities, Binh Dinh VINASHIN would build a good human resource, meeting the demands and the development of maritime transport as well as Vietnam shipbuilding industry.
