Khánh Hòa Plans Vocational Training for 16,500 Rural Workers
Under its 2026–2030 rural development plan, Khánh Hòa aims to provide vocational training to 16,500 rural workers by 2030, with ethnic minority workers accounting for 70%. The province also plans at least 50 job fairs and support for workers from disadvantaged areas to take up contract jobs overseas.
The Khánh Hòa Provincial People’s Committee recently issued a plan for new rural development and socioeconomic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for 2026–2030, focusing on vocational training, employment and higher incomes. By 2030, the province plans to provide vocational training to 16,500 rural workers, 70% of whom will be from ethnic minorities. It also plans to hold at least 50 job fairs and support at least 500 workers from disadvantaged areas in taking up contract jobs overseas.

For labor market development, Khánh Hòa also aims to raise the proportion of trained workers to 90% by 2030, with 40% holding diplomas or certificates. The province plans to expand employment counseling and job placement services and align vocational training with labor market demand to increase job opportunities for residents of mountainous areas.
Alongside employment measures, Khánh Hòa plans to expand the use of digital technology in administration and public services. This includes developing smart villages, using artificial intelligence cameras for security monitoring and providing public services regardless of administrative boundaries. These measures form part of a plan to narrow the development gap between ethnic minority and mountainous areas and the province as a whole.
The province aims to raise average rural income to 2.5–3 times its 2020 level by 2030. It also targets an average annual reduction of 1%–1.5% in the provincewide multidimensional poverty rate and a rate below 10% in ethnic minority and mountainous areas. Khánh Hòa further aims to eliminate communes classified as especially disadvantaged and largely eliminate villages with that classification in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
