The Party and the State have issued many policies and guidelines to develop IT human resources. However, when implementing and applying these documents in practice at the local level, many shortcomings have arisen. The urgent issue facing Thanh Hoa is the need for appropriate policies to enhance the attraction and effective utilization of IT human resources in state agencies.

Drawing lessons learned. - Investigating, analyzing, and evaluating the current state of training and supplying IT human resources, and the current state of attracting and utilizing IT human resources in state agencies of Thanh Hoa province during the period 2006-2010. - Analyzing the Party and State's policies and guidelines on attracting and utilizing IT human resources issued before 2010. - Proposing policy solutions for attracting and utilizing IT human resources to strengthen the IT human resources sector of state agencies in Thanh Hoa province in the coming years. Proposed solutions: Group 1: Short-term solutions: - Developing a rational policy for attracting IT human resources - Developing a policy for training and developing CIOs - Retraining (for IT human resources), providing second degree IT training (for other professional personnel) to consolidate and improve the quality of the current IT human resources. - Support short-term training programs to supplement practical knowledge, soft skills, and state management knowledge for IT students at universities and colleges in the province. - Build a "government - school - enterprise" linkage.
