Talented graduates in Da Nang don’t want to work for state agencies
While many university trainees refuse to return to Da Nang after finishing courses overseas, others have returned as promised, but then expect to leave again. Under Project 922 initiated by the Da Nang authorities 10 years ago, excellent researchers and university lecturers are sent to overseas training courses with city funding before returning to work in the city. According to CPHUD (Danang Center for Promotion of Human Resources Development), 52 professionals have quit the project, and 40 violated the contracts and had to pay back the training cost to the city authorities. Meanwhile, 433 trainees have completed training courses and received jobs at agencies belonging to the Da Nang City People’s Committee. Most of the professionals quickly adapted to new jobs and fulfilled their tasks, while more than 200 have been appointed to high posts in the city’s government. The Da Nang City People’s Committee has organized a ceremony to hand over the decision on assigning work to 21 professionals of Project 922.
