Human resource training for cultural economic development in Thanh Hoa: A study from Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism

In the context where cultural industries and creative industries are increasingly becoming key growth drivers, training human resources for cultural economic development is of great significance for localities rich in cultural, historical, heritage, and tourism resources such as Thanh Hoa province. Culture is not only an object of preservation but also a resource capable of generating products, services, employment, income, local branding, and destination competitiveness. This study employs document analysis, policy analysis, descriptive statistics, and case study methods to clarify the role of Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism in training human resources for the local cultural economy. Based on the findings, the study identifies key issues and proposes solutions to improve training quality and strengthen linkages among the university, local authorities, and enterprises.
