The Korea-Vietnam Job Fair for Global Talents 2014 opened on December 5 in Ho Chi Minh City , offering a good chance for Vietnamese youths to seek suitable jobs and for Republic of Korea (RoK) businesses to access high-quality labour force.

The event, co-organised by the Korean Trade Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and the RoK Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City , drew the participation of 45 RoK enterprises including Hyosung, STX, Lotte Mart, Daewoo International, Korea United Pharmaceutical.

They want to recruit qualified Vietnamese candidates in the fields of production, business and personnel management, strategy making and interpretation.

Tu Hong Diep, a representative from the RoK Consulate General described the fair as a meeting place for RoK businesses and Vietnamese job seekers, especially young talents, who want to test their ability during on-the-spot interviews.

RoK enterprises’ demand for high-quality Vietnamese workers will increase in the time to come as bilateral trade and investment relations are thriving, she said.

She added that one of the reasons for RoK companies to choose Vietnam as their investment destination is hardworking and qualified human resources.

At present, RoK businesses operating in Vietnam are employing more than 70,000 local workers.-VNA
