He shared lots of useful experiences during the industrialization process in Taiwan. According to this professor, Taiwan was an under-developed country in 1960, but it turned into industrialization in 1990. This development paralleled the country’s changes in human resources.

Due to their traditional and cultural values, almost every family in Taiwan wants their children to go to college. At first, quite many graduates were unemployed since companies needed skilled workers, who would be better paid than those graduating from universities. A vast number of people chose to study physics and chemistry in the 1970s, but in the 1980s, many professors were dismissed and had to seek manual jobs. Later on, Taiwan proposed changes in training students to facilitate their employment after graduation.

Proper preparation for human resources development in the industrialization process towards fair competition, choosing the right person for a job through careful recruitment and offering reasonable salary will help contribute to the country’s advancement. Taiwan’s development is thanks to its human resources and the people’s intelligence, not dependent on natural resources.

Taiwan’s industrialization process has taken place in line with its democratization, helping the country enjoy a sustainable economy, which builds trust among its people to create a prosperous society. That is the reason why Vietnam should learn Taiwan’s experience in training human resources. To prepare for industrialization, the former needs to avoid the mistakes the latter made before, which led to a waste of human resources and ineffectiveness in the operation of enterprises as well as of the state system. It is important for Vietnam to have specialized training, market-oriented competitiveness and selection in order to integrate with other Southeast Asian countries and reach joint prosperity.
