12th grader Mai Nguyen Hong Hanh asked why more and more graduates are jobless though their majors are “hot” at this time. Teacher Pham Doan Nguyen from the division for enrolment and media of the University of Economics and Finance said that there exists no rule of “hot” jobs in the labor market but “hot” individuals in every job.
Therefore, students should not think that those studying business management will become a director or managers. Similarly, graduates from IT majors will work in IT field but they can be salesmen of IT-related products.
Deputy Chairman of the city professional association Tran Anh Tuan said that during the period 2020-2030, demand of trained work force will be 85 percent of the labor market especially Technology – Technique and Economics- Finance- Banking – Law and administrative jobs.
