More employment opportunities for students in central Việt Nam

ĐÀ NẴNG — An employment promotion centre has been launched in HCM City offering job opportunities at foreign direct investment (FDI) businesses for students in central Việt Nam after they graduate.

It’s the first job promotion centre in HCM City with an aim of attracting high quality staff from the central and central highlands region.

The centre, which was jointly established in co-operation with social support service  三S company; Akane human resources development company and Đà Nẵng-based Đông Á University, plans to supply  三0 per cent of graduated students to the FDI enterprises in the southern region each year.

Chairman of council and vice rector of Đông Á University, Lương Minh Sâm said the co-operation in human resources supply will create more employment opportunities for students in central Việt Nam.

“Southern region is a huge labour market with more than  一 八,000 FDI projects in HCM City, Bình Dương, Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, Đồng Nai, Long An, Tây Ninh, and Bình Phước provinces and petroleum projects,” Sâm said.

“We have inked educational co-operation plans with Liverpool John Mores University (UK), Satakunta University of applied Science (Finland), Lincoln University and Angelo State University from the US in providing English-speaking human resources for both FDI and enterprises abroad.”

He added that Japanese, Korean and Chinese language training courses will also open up opportunities for jobseekers.

Students will be able to take part in one-year on-the-job training with businesses before signing labour contract after graduation.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Đồng Nai, Bình Dương and HCM City were three key destinations for hi-quality labourers as the three localities have hosted more than  一 二,000 FDI projects worth US$ 一 一 二 billion.
