On April 1, 2026, the Hai Phong City People's Committee issued Plan No. 104/KH-UBND regarding the implementation of Resolution No. 53/2025/NQ-HĐND dated December 11, 2025, by the City People's Council. This document serves to concretize policies for attracting and utilizing talented individuals and high-quality human resources with a long-term vision toward 2050, meeting the requirements for rapid and sustainable development in the new era.
Overview of Objectives and the Scale of Human Resources to be Attracted
Plan 104 clearly defines the categories of industries, specialties, and specific quantities for each institutional block. For the Government block, the city aims to attract a total of 174 individuals through recruitment and reception; 10 quotas are dedicated to experts, scientists, and exceptionally talented individuals via order-based contracts; and the city also emphasizes training and fostering 43 talents from the existing payroll.
Implementation is not limited to city-level agencies but spreads strongly to the grassroots level, including departments, sectors, communal-level People's Committees, and public service units. Hai Phong maintains high standards for candidates' educational backgrounds, prioritizing graduates from universities in the Top 20, Top 50, or Top 100 of the 2026 Vietnam University Rankings (VNUR) or prestigious educational institutions in developed countries.
Education and Training: Focus on Future Technology and Semiconductors
In 2026, the Education and Training sector accounts for a large proportion of the attraction demand, with 37 new recruitment quotas and 5 expert contracts. Hai Phong University is the unit with the greatest need for high-quality personnel to serve the goal of becoming an international-standard multidisciplinary training center.
Hai Phong University focuses on attracting Professors, Associate Professors, and PhDs for spearhead specialties such as Semiconductor Engineering (chip and AI design, IC design); Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science); Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation; and Marine Economics and Logistics services. Notably, the university also seeks experts and managers with practical experience in education management, measurement and evaluation, and international education to enhance governance capacity.
Furthermore, key high schools such as Nguyen Trai Specialized High School and Tran Phu Specialized High School also need to recruit PhDs and excellent graduates in Mathematics, Literature, and History from leading institutions like Hanoi National University of Education. At the commune level, many localities such as the People's Committees of Binh Giang, Tu Ky, and Nam Sach have also set quotas to attract excellent graduates in Education Management to strengthen the capacity of local Culture and Social Affairs departments.
Healthcare: High-Tech Breakthroughs and Grassroots Capacity Building
The Healthcare sector recorded a strong demand with 103 recruitment quotas, 4 expert contracts, and on-site training plans for 36 people. Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital leads with a need to attract 93 high-quality personnel to perform advanced techniques such as robotic surgery, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), PET CT imaging, and organ transplants. The target candidates are PhDs, Level II Specialists, and Resident Doctors from national key medical and pharmaceutical schools such as Hanoi Medical University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and the Military Medical Academy.
Other specialized hospitals also have specific plans: (1) Hai Phong Children's Hospital needs Masters and Level I Specialists in Pediatric Intensive Care; (2) Hai Phong Lung Hospital attracts PhDs in Health Management and clinical departments; (3) Eye Hospital and Mental Health Hospital focus on specialized doctors and excellent graduates in Medicine and Pharmacy.
The district and commune-level health systems are also involved. Health Centers such as Thuy Nguyên, Chi Linh, and Kim Thanh all have demands to attract resident doctors and excellent graduates to perform emergency resuscitation and surgical tasks.
Science, Technology, and Other Key Fields
The Science and Technology sector expects to attract 16 targets, primarily excellent graduates and Masters in Information Technology, Information Security, and Computer Science. Units such as the People's Committees of Kien An Ward, Thanh Dong Ward, and the communes of Vinh Bao and Quyet Thang focus on this resource to promote digital transformation and serve public administration.
In the fields of Construction and Economics, the Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority prioritizes attracting talent in Economics, Investment Management, and New Material Technology, requiring candidates to graduate from Top 20 VNUR schools. The Industry and Trade, and Culture, Sports, and Tourism sectors are also seeking experts in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Naval Engineering, and the English language to serve marine economic development and eco-tourism at Cat Ba National Park.
Party and Mass Organizations: Focus on Theory and Public Administration
Beyond the Government block, Hai Phong also emphasizes attracting talent for the Party and Mass Organizations block. To Hieu Political School has a demand to attract Professors, Associate Professors, and PhDs for departments of Basic Theory, Party Building, and State and Law. Priority fields include Philosophy, Scientific Socialism, Party History, Economics, and Public Administration. This is the core force for improving the quality of cadre training and the city's theoretical research.
Implementation Mechanisms and City Commitments
To ensure the plan's effectiveness, the City People's Committee assigns specific responsibilities to departments:
- Department of Home Affairs: Acts as the standing agency, advising the Selection Council on policy beneficiaries and monitoring implementation.
- Department of Finance: Ensures the allocation of funds from the annual state budget.
- Department of Education and Training: Builds a connection network with leading domestic and international universities to provide talent data.
- Department of Foreign Affairs: Expands international cooperation and connects with the overseas Vietnamese intellectual community from Hai Phong to contribute to their homeland.
The City People's Committee particularly emphasizes the creation of a professional, fair, democratic, and humane working environment. Units are responsible for providing advanced machinery and technology, while prioritizing the appointment of talent to appropriate leadership and management positions. The city also commits to periodic commendation and honoring regimes to encourage the creative spirit of this workforce.
With high political determination and a clear roadmap, Hai Phong is asserting its position as an attractive destination for elite minds, contributing to the realization of the aspiration to develop a green, civilized, and modern port city.
