(HBO) – In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many enterprises have suspended operation, making thousands of workers jobless. In face of this, Hoa Binh province has been taking drastic measures to reconnect employers and job seekers.
Workers register for unemployment benefits at the provincial employment
service centre.
Data from the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs
shows that as of the end of April, the province had 69 companies and over 2,600
workers affected by the pandemic. The figures do not include thousands of local
people working in other cities and provinces who have no choice but take the
"longest holiday” ever – 3 months. It was estimated that a large number of
workers remains unemployed, mostly those who work for export firms.
In the first quarter of 2020, a total of 589 people applied to receive
unemployment benefits at the provincial employment service centre. The centre
has given instructions on making and processing applications and coordinated
with district-level People’s Committees to publicise programmes to recruit
Vietnamese nurse trainees to work in Japan and Germany this year. It has also

and instructed candidates to prepare applications.
The department has also teamed up with its office in Da Bac district to
