Ho Chi Minh City calls on businesses to participate in recruiting unemployed workers.

On June 11, the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center (a unit under the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs) said that many businesses in Ho Chi Minh City are currently facing difficulties with production orders. This has seriously affected the lives of workers due to reduced working hours or forced job losses due to the companies' and businesses' downsizing plans.

Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh City government determined that it is necessary to strengthen job connection activities, especially supporting laid-off workers to find new jobs and stabilize their lives soon.

The Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center calls on businesses and units of all economic sectors with recruitment needs to send recruitment information for the center to synthesize and connect workers for free in direct job connection sessions at businesses that are cutting labor.

Enterprises and units wishing to know detailed information can contact the Employment Introduction - Labor Market Department of Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center via email: [email protected] or via phone number 028 35106 121; 028 38992 198.

Director of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City Le Van Thinh said that Ho Chi Minh City is still closely monitoring the "health" of businesses to have timely measures to support units and employees.

In addition to the core activity of promoting sessions and job exchanges to connect labor supply and demand, in the second quarter of 2023, the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City will carry out many activities such as dialogue with businesses to remove obstacles; increase support and consultation on labor law policies; vocational training, job conversion for workers...
