The information technology, electronics, mechanical engineering, chemicals, architecture, construction, transport, customer services, healthcare, accounting and auditing, finance, real estate and hospitality sectors would offer the largest number of vacancies.
Nguyen Quang Cuong, director of Youth Employment Service Center (YES Center), said the businesses’ recruitment demand will not change much compared with the same period last year. However, they are recruiting more workers in emerging sectors. Cuong suggested that job seekers only contact prestigious job centers.
YES Center will organize a job fair from April 3 to May 3 to connect businesses and job seekers. The program will see the participation of 50 enterprises that expect to recruit more than 10,000 workers in various fields such as sales, accounting, import and export, finance, banking and engineering.
Participants will have the chance to join direct interviews with recruiters. The program will also offer free consultancy for workers and support for people from other cities and provinces.
For support, job seekers can visit the center at 1A Nguyen Van Luong Street, Ward 6, Go Vap District and No. 4 Pham Ngoc Thach Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, or call the hotline 1088.
Since early this year, the HCMC Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has organized three job fairs to help citizens find suitable jobs amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The next job fair is scheduled to take place on March 26.
Data of the General Statistics Office showed that the Covid-19 pandemic left 1.3 million Vietnamese people unemployed in 2020. Tourism, hospitality, catering services, entertainment and education-training are the sectors that have been hit the hardest.
