Hanoi (VNA)🐠 - Personnel work, especially that relating to young cadres, has been identified by Hanoi authorities as a do-or-die task that needs to be carried out in order to build a contingent of cadres who meet the development requirements of the capital in the new situation.

Nguyen Ngoc Viet, a member of Hanoi Party Committee and Secretary of My Duc district’s Party Committee (Hanoi), talked about the training of young Party members in an interview with Vietnam Plus on the occasion of the 13th National Party Congress. According to Viet, for many years, Hanoi has focused on the training of young cadres, promoting and appointing many cadres under the age of 40 to managerial positions in the Party, government and mass organisations from the grassroots to city level. It has resulted in drastic changes in the leadership and general administration of the capital. Preparing cadres for the future requires doing well in all stages from detecting, training talents to testing, evaluating and selecting them for suitable positions. Therefore, he said, it is necessary to continue to inform the purposes and requirements of personnel work relating to young cadres to all departments, units, localities, officials and party members. Party committees and their leaders should have a proper understanding and renew their viewpoint on building a team of young cadres, considering this as a major task, said Viet, who is former Secretary of the Hanoi Youth Union. Favourable mechanisms and policies should continue to be issued to attract young and talented people while personnel work should be carried out in a harmonious manner to ensure its effectiveness. Of which, cadre assessment is the most important mission, laying the foundation for the effective selection, planning, training, arrangement and use of cadres. Proper assessment of cadres will help them promote their advantages, overcoming their weaknesses, fostering their political qualities, revolutionary ethics and capacity to meet the requirements of their tasks. Viet said job rotation should be promoted. The arrangement and usage of young cadres after undergone training must suit their expertise in order to create motivation and opportunities for them to bring into practice their knowledge. According to Viet, job rotation is a right policy of the Party in training and fostering cadres, especially young ones. However, young cadres will face certain difficulties in terms of knowledge in some fields including economics, finance, and land management. Psychological barriers, age gap and fear of change are also big challenges for young cadres when they are assigned with jobs in localities. Regarding the training and fostering of young cadres in My Duc district, he said, it is necessary for the district to do well on forecasting the demand for leaders and managers along with personnel planning as a basis for recruitment and training, arranging and employing of young cadres. The training of cadres should closely follow the requirements of the district. In particular, the arrangement and use of cadres must be consistent with their expertise so that they would make full use of their capacity and knowledge. Determining that the grassroots level is the most effective training environment for young cadres, the standing board of the district’s Party Committee has always paid attention to job rotation. This activity has contributed to rejuvenate the contingent of cadres, improve the quality and performance of Party committees and mass organisations at grassroots level while creating a reserve staff for the district. In the 2015-2020 tenure, the district promoted 32 young cadres to the positions of head and deputy head of district-level divisions; secretary, deputy secretary of communal-level party committees; and chairman, vice chairman of communal-level People's Committees. In the 2020-2025 tenure, the district aims to have over 15 percent of cadres at the grassroots level being under 35 years old. The training of young cadres of the district has gradually been aligned with the personnel planning and requirements of the district's political tasks, gradually reducing across-the-board training that causes wastefulness./.
