The term “Logistics” may sound vague to many students, but in reality, Logistics and Supply Chain activities are increasingly influencing our modern lives. Every cookie we eat, every cup of coffee we drink every day… all have a significant contribution from Logistics and Supply Chain activities.

The demand for human resources in the Logistics and Supply Chain industry is huge.

Along with the process of deep integration and the development of Vietnam's global trade, the demand for human resources in the Logistics industry, especially high-quality human resources, is increasing. Without Logistics, all production and business activities are at risk of stopping. Moreover, the development of Logistics will lead to the development of many other industries such as international trade, insurance, shipbuilding, aviation, etc., contributing to enhancing Vietnam's position in the international market.

According to the speech of Mr. Dao Trong Khoa - Vice President of Vietnam Logistics Service Association (VLA) at the Forum " Human resource development for logistics industry and trends in Vietnam ": Human resources is one of three difficult problems for Logistics companies in their business operations.

According to statistics, in 2019, Vietnam had about 3,000 Logistics enterprises and it is expected that by 2030, the demand for Logistics human resources will be over 200,000 employees. Meanwhile, the ability to meet the demand for Logistics human resources only meets about 10% of the market demand.

According to Forbes Vietnam, by 2030, the human resource demand of the Vietnamese Logistics industry will reach 2.2 million workers with more than 30,000 Logistics enterprises operating nationwide. However, in contrast, the current number of human resources in this industry only meets 40%, of which 10% of the human resources are properly trained.

According to a report by Adecco - a human resources company: Graduates majoring in Logistics & Supply Chain Management have up to 75% job opportunities with quite attractive salaries.
