On November 15, the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center held a 2026 job fair in Phú Mỹ Ward, presenting job seekers with more than 6,500 opportunities. The event aimed to help businesses in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces and cities meet staffing needs during the year-end peak in production and business activity. Fifty recruiters took part, offering positions in mechanical engineering and manufacturing, industrial production, ports and logistics, trade and services, tourism and hospitality, and energy.
Alongside jobs in Vietnam, recruiters sought workers for positions in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan (China), Germany, France and Greece. This year’s event gave priority support to people receiving unemployment benefits, those without stable jobs, young people who have completed military service, and other specific groups of workers.
Lượng Thị Tới, deputy director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, said connecting employers with job seekers was especially important as the labor market changed and businesses raised their requirements for workforce quality. She called on recruiters to disclose job openings, salaries and related benefits, and to honor the terms they announced to protect workers’ rights.
Mai Văn Thu, deputy director of the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center, said the event also brought together representatives of employment service centers from 11 provinces and cities to share information with government agencies, businesses and training institutions and expand employment opportunities across regions. Trần Quốc Bảo, deputy director of the Tây Ninh Province Employment Service Center, said the labor markets of neighboring Tây Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City were closely linked, with many industrial parks in the area. Tây Ninh is working with Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces to develop shared labor market management software to match recruitment and job-seeking needs across the region.
