Hanoi: Many university graduates are seeking employment.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - According to data from the Hanoi Employment Service Center, in September, approximately over 16,000 people were seeking employment, with more than 25% having a university degree or higher.

This information was released at the launch ceremony of the partner network and job portal of the University of Commerce this morning (October 26).

According to data from the Hanoi Employment Service Center, in September, approximately 16,000 people were seeking employment, with over 25% holding a university degree or higher.

Job seekers are primarily concentrated in the age group over 35, accounting for over 46%, while those aged 25-34 account for over 42%.

The majority of workers seeking employment in the market are those with unstable, low-skilled, or even unskilled labor.

This is because when businesses have to cut jobs, they replace manual laborers with low-skilled workers. Highly skilled workers are prioritized for retention because they can fill more job positions.

Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Vinh Truong, Head of the Labor Market Analysis and Forecasting Department at the Hanoi Employment Service Center, said that many universities are undergoing significant changes.

Schools provide maximum support to students through various means, helping them find jobs, but not all students have the skills to find employment after graduation.

Therefore, a university having a job portal is very much in line with current trends, linking education with practice.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Duc Nhuan, Vice Rector of the University of Commerce, training high-quality human resources to meet the needs of society is always one of the goals that universities strive for.

Career guidance, business relations, and job placement for students during their training are playing an extremely important role.

With the official announcement of partner organizations and the launch of the job portal, students will have the opportunity to connect with the labor market, find job opportunities, and gain practical experience or internships at businesses.

Through its job placement system, the school can understand students' job search trends, which helps it adapt its training programs to suit those trends.

According to the school representative, in addition to the jobs suggested by the system, partner organizations and businesses can also post job advertisements on the portal.

The university also created accounts on the job portal for full-time undergraduate students from cohorts 57-60, with passwords sent to each student's email. Job searching is done online, is simple, and provides a wealth of diverse information.

Students can log in, change their password, update/modify their personal information, and perform actions such as creating a CV, searching for career information, recruitment, and finding suitable jobs.

In 2024, the University of Commerce increased its enrollment quota by 100 students, adding 10 new programs, including 8 programs with an in-depth international career orientation, such as Logistics and Import-Export.

The University of Commerce currently offers 38 training programs, including 27 standard training programs, 3 career-oriented training programs, and notably 8 international professional-oriented training programs (IPOP) which will begin enrollment in 2024.

The IPOP offers eight training programs: Business Administration (Business Administration major); Commercial Marketing (Marketing major); Integrated Accounting with International Certification (Accounting major); Logistics and Import/Export (Logistics and Supply Chain Management major); International Trade (International Business major); Commercial Finance and Banking (Finance and Banking major); Corporate Human Resource Management (Human Resource Management major); and Hotel Management (Hotel Management major).
