In August 2025, to connect workers with businesses and support job searches and career orientation, the provincial Employment Service Center coordinated with Điện Biên College to organize Job Fair 2025. The fair took place with many practical activities such as consulting, job introduction, and direct recruitment at business booths.

With 10 booths and a recruitment demand ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 job positions, the fair attracted nearly 500 students and workers to learn about and register for jobs in many fields such as garments, electronics, mechanics, restaurants-hotels, and services. Participating in Job Fair 2025, Nguyễn Hữu Hưng, a representative of Tongwei Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Hải Phòng city), stated that their need is to recruit about 500 workers for assembly and product inspection along with about 100 employees in departmental and technical positions. Through this fair, he observed that the students and workers are equipped with quite good knowledge and can meet the recruitment needs of the enterprise.

Being able to exchange directly with businesses helps students and workers better grasp recruitment requirements, the working environment, income levels, and benefit regimes. From there, workers have a basis to choose jobs suitable for their own abilities and qualifications, which limits the situation of choosing a profession based on intuition or a lack of information.

As a free laborer, Lường Thị Liêm from Mường Thanh ward shared that she currently desires to find a job with a stable and long-term income. Coming to the job fair, she received specific advice on recruitment positions, working conditions, and salary levels. She noted that this is an opportunity for her to access official recruitment information and avoid risks when looking for jobs through unofficial channels.

Not stopping at centralized job fairs, from the beginning of 2025, the Provincial Employment Service Center has stepped up consulting, propaganda, and job introduction activities directly to the grassroots. The total number of consultations for students and workers during the year reached more than 47,000 turns, reaching 188% compared to the set plan. The Center organized 13 job fairs across the province, attracting more than 7,150 students and workers. They also organized 59 talks and thematic sessions on career orientation and entrepreneurship for more than 10,600 students at middle schools, high schools, ethnic boarding high schools, the SOS Children’s Village Điện Biên Phủ, the provincial General Social Protection Center, and professional schools.

In addition, the Center also implemented 185 mobile job conferences, attracting more than 11,700 participants. They organized 34 mobile job transaction sessions for more than 1,800 workers and maintained more than 100 weekly online job transaction sessions connecting businesses inside and outside the province for more than 3,000 people, mainly workers receiving unemployment benefits and unemployed workers.

Thanks to the synchronous implementation of many solutions, in 2025, nearly 10,000 workers were interested in and registered for consulting on jobs, vocational training, labor export, and career orientation. After consultation, more than 3,700 workers were directly connected to businesses and vocational education institutions to participate in recruitment interviews. In the field of labor export, the Center supported 19 workers from the province to exit for fixed-term work in the Republic of Korea under the EPS Program.

Besides the results achieved, recruitment information in the province is currently not truly diverse. The source of high-quality labor is still limited, and the rate of trained workers with certificates or degrees is low, which has not fully met the requirements of enterprises inside and outside the province. In the coming time, the Center will focus on expanding the connection network with businesses, increasing mobile and online job transaction sessions, and promoting consulting and career orientation for students early on to help workers access official, suitable, and sustainable job information.

Strengthening job transaction activities and effectively organizing job exchange floors and fairs continue to affirm their role as an important bridge between workers and businesses in the province. With increasingly diverse and flexible transaction forms combining face-to-face and online methods, workers have the conditions to promptly and fully access official recruitment information suitable for their qualifications and capacity, thereby finding stable jobs with sustainable income.
