The city aims for more than 55% of its labour to have professional skills by 2015 and 70-75% by 2020, making it a high-quality training centre for the country and the region.
Hanoi is also striving to generate 135,000-140,000 jobs each year from 2011 to 2015, increasing to 155,000-160,000 in the following five year period (2016-2020).
