The 2015 Job Fair was opened in southern Ho Chi Minh City by the General Directorate of Vocational Training and the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on June 30.

The programme is under the vocational skill improvement project funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

With the participation of 25 enterprises in different fields, the event worked as a bridge linking vocational schools, students and enterprises and gave students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of recruitment processes and current labour market demand.

Deputy Head of the General Directorate of Vocational Training Nguyen Hong Minh said a key solution for meeting the labour market’s demand is strengthening linkages between schools and enterprises during the training process.

Based on the recruitment demand of enterprises, vocational schools can make suitable changes to their curricula, while enterprises can join the training process and secure quality workers.

Minh added the General Directorate has implemented overall solutions with a view to enhancing vocational training quality, creating jobs for students and changing society’s views on occupational orientations.-VNA
