More than 80 per cent of companies in HCM City requires candidates having at least one year-work experience before recruiting them for IT-related jobs.

It is the latest survey from the Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information under the city’s Labour, Invalid and Social Affairs Department conducting in April with participation of 1,868 local companies.

Over a half of companies demanded candidates graduated from universities, 29 per cent requested candidates graduated from colleges for positions of computer programmer, software engineer and database administrators.

Only 16 per cent of companies recruit labourers graduating from vocational and training schools to work as computer technician or computer-component salesperson.

Trần Anh Tuấn, head of the centre said the labour market in the city was stable in the first four months of this year.

The companies gave priorities for experienced labourers and candidates graduating from universities, he said.
