The ongoing trends of digital and green transformation are set to play a pivotal role in shaping Vietnam’s development in the current context. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is significantly altering the economic development model, shifting countries away from reliance on natural resources and low-cost labor toward prioritizing innovation and creativity. As Vietnam engages in deeper international integration, it is essential for its science and technology human resources to possess globally relevant qualifications and skills while staying updated with emerging trends. This raises critical questions regarding the current state of Vietnam's science and technology workforce, the challenges and limitations it faces, and whether it can meet the pressing demands for skilled human resources. The purpose of this article is to explore these questions, highlighting that the foremost challenge facing Vietnam today lies in the effective implementation of the Party’s resolutions and the State’s strategies focused on human resource development, particularly in the field of science and technology.
