Also growing up in the thermal power plant environment, Ms. Tran Thu Hien, an Analytical Chemical Engineer at Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company, has more than 17 years of working experience.

The nature of the job is hard, working in shifts, so women in this industry all train themselves to have a strong will. There are many late night shifts from 11 pm to 7 am the next morning, the women all work until the end of their schedules like the men.
