Over 70,000 jobs generated in first four months

The city created 27,700 workers in jobs in April 2024, up 60.1 percent month-on-month and 38.2 percent year-on-year.

In the same period, the Ha Noi Center for Employment Services provided job counseling and placement services to 1,800 workers and supported dozens of vocational training students.

Between January and April, the city paid unemployment insurance for 19,400 people, amounting to VND623 billion (US$24,523).

The Ha Noi Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs is developing a labor market information system, strengthening the application of information technology, and undertaking digital transformation to employ 165,000 workers by 2024.

Other effective solutions include strengthening the links between labor supply and demand in the market, collection and updating of labor market information, review and assessment of demand by sector and field, organization of training programs to develop the skills of the workforce, and prompt response to the needs of the labor market.

The department also plans to provide employment opportunities for 20,000 people in 2024 by holding 230 job transaction sessions through online, specialized, mobile, and direct recruitment forms.

Ha Noi vocational schools have a training target of about 235,000 people (26,000 at the college level, 29,000 at the intermediate level, and 180,000 at the basic level and through courses of less than three months). The proportion of trained workers is expected to reach 74.2 percent, of which 54 percent will be graduated or certified.

Ha Noi continues to explore and develop new markets in Europe and America while consolidating traditional markets by taking measures to prevent contract violations and illegal workers. This year, the city will send 4,000 workers overseas, especially to markets with high and stable incomes such as Japan, the RoK, and Taiwan./.
