The Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) is a multi-field technical, financial and economic group with extensive operational scale both at home and abroad. PVNs strategic target to 2025 is to develop sustainably and become a world-class business group. PVN has entered a period of rapid development and it experienced big changes in production, business and management when it shifted from state subsidy in a market mechanism in expanding its scale of operations to overseas countries. These changes have meant higher and more stringent requirements for PVNs human resources, including technical and management staff.
