This paper examines the current state and proposed solutions for employment-linked vocational training policies for workers in Ha Tinh province which is based on a theoretical framework at the local level. The study approaches these policies from the perspective of labor supply and demand coordination. Key policy solutions for the province include developing employment-linked vocational training programs, providing support for workers undergoing training, encouraging enterprise participation in vocational training, strengthening policies for VTIs, and fostering cooperation between the provincial government, businesses, and training centers. Given the current socio-economic context and workforce needs, the provincial government of Ha Tinh should align its vocational training policies with national regulations to ensure effectiveness.
