HCMC – Up to 13,800 people will be employed for the Long Thanh International Airport when it is operational, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).
The airport will need a great deal of skilled labor. Over 5,000 employees will be required to hold post-secondary degrees and more than 2,000 will need to have college diplomas.
The Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs in Dong Nai Province, where the airport is located, has worked with the CAAV to address the labor supply for the airport and asked the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to draft plans for training programs.
Local educational institutions have begun to get involved in the human resource development effort for the airport. Lilama 2 International Technology College in Dong Nai is teaming up with organizations to train personnel in fields such as logistics, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control and ground services.
