Among the 23 enterprises registering to recruit a large number of laborers in Bac Giang Province in northern Vietnam, there are several Apple’s partners, a local official said on Wednesday.

In particular, Luxshare ICT and New Wing Interconnect Technology, both Chinese-invested electronic component manufacturers and partners of Apple, plan to employ 10,000 and 13,000 workers, respectively.

South Korean-invested Hana Micron Vina, which has recently invested nearly US$600 million in the semiconductor sector in Vietnam, has a demand for over 1,000 laborers in the Southeast Asian country, said deputy director of the Bac Giang Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Bui Quang Phat.

He noted that foreign-invested firms had paid much importance to recruitment so that they can have enough employees to complete their orders.

Meanwhile, deputy director of the provincial Department of Planning and Investment Duong Ngoc Chien said foreign direct investment projects helped solve job issues and increase the province’s budget revenue.

However, the province approves investment projects in a selective manner. It prioritizes key traffic projects linking to other northern localities, such as Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Hai Duong, industrial parks and clusters, infrastructure facilities, and power projects to meet the production demand of enterprises.

Bac Giang has focused on administrative reforms, established teams to directly support enterprises, and developed human resources, especially high-quality manpower.

Last quarter, the province helped enterprises recruit 50,000 laborers, Chien informed.

Investors have assessed the investment environment in Bac Giang as favorable, provincial vice chairman Mai Son said.

The province’s attraction of investment in electric vehicle manufacturing and solar power proves its vision, helping it develop the economy and the workforce.

Bac Giang has also used its budget to construct roads and bridges connecting to neighboring localities, including Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Thai Nguyen, to improve the regional connectivity, thus luring more foreign firms, Son added.
