More employed through job placement centres
About 224,000 people have been employed through the system of job placement centres and transaction floors each year during the 2006-2010 period, a rise of five percent compared with the figure before 2005, reported the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
At a seminar to assess the effectiveness of job transaction floors on Sept. 9, MoLISA Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Hoa said that the information of labour supply and demand on the market are updated through job transaction floors, helping increase the efficiency of the link between labour supply and demand.
However, he pointed out difficulties in investment and infrastructure and the lack of officials that have slowed the operation of the centres and floors.
The number of people finding their jobs through the centres and floors now only represents 14 percent of the total of 1.6 million new jobs each year, he added.
The participants suggested the centres and floors finalise legal frameworks for job services, increase investment in infrastructure and equipment and devise training programmes for officials.
The ministry’s Employment Department said that it will develop the job placement centres under the World Association of Public Employment Services (WAPES) standard to raise the number of people employed through the network to 40 percent by 2020.
