According to the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, an average of 38,000 local workers are provided with jobs every year.

The positive results in job creation in Ca Mau can be attributed to the efforts of relevant agencies and those operating in vocational training and job introduction.
Ca Mau’s population stands at nearly 1.2 million people, including 690,000 workers aged 15 and over. Local workers are mainly self-apprentices or self-employed, using the available resources of their families.

Efforts also aim to satisfy the recruitment demand of businesses amid the fourth Industrial Revolution, Thanh said.
Attention has been also paid to promoting training and the development of the local workforce, and attracting outside workers to meet the locality’s development demand, he added.
꧙ Thanh said provincial authorities have proposed the Government soon issue new policies relating to training support for workers from policy beneficiary families and ethnic minority groups, demobilised soldiers, people with disabilities, and rural workers./.
