ILO project to generate jobs in Quang Nam

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the central province of Quang Nam launched a project to generate jobs for young people on February 17.

The project has a total budget of US$1.17 million and is expected to be extended to include other cities and provinces.

In 2010, the project obtained many positive results in improving the business environment, vocational training and careers guidance for young people in Quang Nam.

In 2011, the project will help to upgrade and promote a provincial business and investment portal, hold a local economic development forum, provide training on how to forecast the labour market and draw up a strategy for the provinces labour market until 2015 which it will submit to the provincial People’s Committee for approval.

It also helps raise the capacity of the rural economy, improve people’s business management skills and provide knowledge on post harvest technologies.
