According to Duong Thi Van, chairwoman of the municipal disabled people association, the fair gives a chance to recruiters to carry out their policies for people with disabilities, while helping the needy train for job opportunities.
Meanwhile, Dinh Thi Thu Ha from REACH which specialises in providing vocational training and career advice for disadvantaged youth said that most of the disabled are in favour of graphic design and marketing courses.
After short-course training, they are introduced to jobs and can work at some design companies, she highlighted, adding that besides job fairs, recruitment oppertunities are also available at vocational training centres’ website.
The job fair also comprised activities to popularise products made by the disabled, a forum on disabled people’s business model and exchanges with standout disabled examples who are successful in their business.
