Kon Tum held its 2018 Youth Job Fair on 31 May, jointly organized by the Center for Employment Services, the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union and the RALG project. Hundreds of young people, among them many young men who are about to finish their military service, handed in their job applications to the companies represented there or received counselling on how to become a start-up. Currently there are 52 enterprises and organizations, who offer around 4,000 jobs, ranging from textile and shoe industry to bio fertilizer, construction, education institutes and beyond. There were also 300 offers for jobs abroad. Job offers often come with proposals for further education and on-the-job training. Start-ups can take out accessible bank loans and receive a start-up training. At the down side, the current analysis of the job market in Kon Tum shows many problems, which need to be solved by the Job Center together with education institutes and employers: unemployment among ethnic groups who lack essential qualifications, prevalence of seasonal work and missing job safety with no accident insurance.
