Connecting jobs, guiding career for young people
The " Job Fair" series is organized by the Department of Home Affairs of Da Nang City in coordination with the mountainous localities of Tay Giang, Dong Giang, Thanh My, Kham Duc, Phuoc Chanh continuously from the end of August until now. Not just a job fair, the event becomes a bridge, opening the door to sustainable poverty reduction for young people in mountainous areas.
Mr. Zho Lam Lang (22 years old, Tay Giang commune) shared: "I studied mechanical engineering at intermediate level, graduated 2 years ago but had to stay at home to work on the fields with my parents because I could not find a stable job. Today, having a direct interview with a labor export enterprise, I found the job and treatment suitable. Hopefully, I will soon go to Korea to work like some of my villagemates, have a stable income to help my family and save for the future."
Lang's story is also the common sentiment of more than 400 young people who were first consulted and oriented for a career right in the locality, without having to travel hundreds of kilometers to the city. This is the most obvious effect of the programs " bringing jobs to the villages".

This time, we need to recruit a large number, hoping that many young people will boldly register to change their lives".
