As per a target plan set by the People’s Committee in Ho Chi Minh City, jobs will be created for at least 100,000 young laborers annually.
The plan is to create jobs for young laborers in the period 2011-2015, under which 80 percent laborers will receive job consultation to reduce four percent unemployment rate and ensure most laborers understand Vietnamese law as well as the rights and duties of employees and employers, along with the law of foreign countries they will work in future.
By 2015, the city strives to have at least 80 percent young people with skills and knowledge of gender equality; 70 percent of secretaries of the Communist Youth Union in companies with elementary level of political theory; 80 percent of secretaries in wards and towns with intermediate level of political theory; and 60 percent in districts with advanced level of political theory.
The City will train most of the laborers in technology, industry and services and inform of Vietnamese law to workers and laborers in industrial and processing zones.
The Department of Vocational Training under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs said that within the last three years, more than one million laborers in rural areas have received vocational training, and around 177,069 employees in state-run agencies took refresher courses, for which the government spent about VND4 trillion (US$192 million).
