“Tech Expo 2017 - Tomorrow Land” will be held on August 12 in Hanoi and August 26 in Ho Chi Minh City, attended by talent seeking employment and sponsored by many top tech companies in the country, according to VietnamWorks.
The expo is expected to address the scarcity of employees at technology enterprises.
Due to IT enterprises always having high recruitment demand, staff numbers have long been in short supply, according to VietnamWorks’ latest report, which found that job seekers in the sector satisfy just 50 per cent of recruitment demand. Tech Expo 2017 therefore hopes to connect talented candidates and top IT companies and also help candidates move to certain fields to meet demand.
Technology workshops at Tech Expo 2017 are also expected to help candidates and enterprises stay abreast of the latest trends in high tech and learn new skills.
This year’s expo features activities such the launch of an mobile event app that facilitates the application process and an events directory with a QR code linked to company profiles, and a “CV Clinic”, with consultants from VietnamWorks and TopITworks helping improve candidates’ resumes.
Other technology workshops will be hosted by global experts, on new trends such as Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, and the Agile and Scrum method, etc.
According to VietnamWorks, at Tech Expo 2016 the Top 5 popular programming languages in Hanoi were Java, .Net, PHP, C/C+, and Database, and in Ho Chi Minh City were .Net, C/C+, Java, Web, and Database. This year, there will be new programming languages short of developers, such as Ruby on Rails, Golang, and JavaScript, while related frameworks such as ReactJS and NodeJs, etc., promise major opportunities in employment.
With its third holding on the horizon, Tech Expo is now the largest-scale jobs event for the technology community, with over 11,000 candidates registered to attend as well as more than 2,000 individuals and 54 partnership companies connected to 2,200 IT experts.
This third Tech Expo is being organized by VietnamWorks and TopITworks with the theme “Tomorrow Land”, providing experience in new job seeking methods integrated with technology to help candidates find their dream job and for companies to find the right talent.
At Tech Expo 2016, 67 per cent of attendees in Hanoi had more than two years of experience and 25 per cent more than five years, while 62 per cent of attendees in Ho Chi Minh City had more than two years of experience and 20 per cent more than five years.
