Generally,
the project mainly centers on calculating the business community’s labor demand
first.
Deputy
PM Nhân asked localities to report on preliminary estimates of short-term
job-training demand, at least in the period of 2010-2011.
By
the end of April this year, regional-level meetings will be organized to
exchange results and share experience.
Each
locality needs to identify its own occupational demand, trainees’ demand, and training

map out necessary improvement plans, said Mr. Nhân.
He
asked the relevant ministries to actively engage in the implementation of the Project
by providing help to localities in fulfilling the set missions.
