Our recruitment theme: NEXT BREAKTHROUGH.* We are recruiting people who can challenge themselves and create new value together while respecting diversity. We make it a priority to ensure that employees are not mismatched after joining the Company by providing internships and contact points with close senior employees so that they can see what we really are. We are also working to raise employee motivation, improve the corporate culture, and expand our systems to improve employee retention.

In our recruiting activities, we have taken all precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We have been holding online seminars instead of the traditional in-person company presentations and used web interviews to help make decisions. Moreover, we have also put in place thorough precautions during onboarding programs and trainings, such as introducing digital tools (webinars, online meetings, and e-learning).

• * This message is posted on our new graduate recruitment website and elsewhere. The Company has developed a wide range of businesses to meet the needs of society and will connect the value and technology it has cultivated to ensure harmony between society and the global environment going forward. What will be indispensable to creating a new future is realizing the tremendous potential of diverse people. Drawing on the potential and ideas of people who hold a diverse range of values, we will continue to take on new challenges through NEXT BREAKTHROUGH.

Hiring at Global Personnel

We support to create jobs in various regions in part by hiring staff locally at global bases. At the Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Limited Liability Company (NSRP), we have provided the various opportunities of technical training and on-the-job training (OJT) to newly hired employees. Such locally hired staff have contributed to the refinery operation significantly. We will be committed to the transfer on the technical knowledge and experience to them continuously. NSRP is also collaborating with local educational organizations, government authorities, and households in an effort to enhance the life skills of our future personnel, and provide continuous personnel education, including scholarships to university students.
