In addition, the city plans to restructure its industrial sector and promote high-tech agriculture and organic farming to ensure effective and sustainable market linkages.
The city will focus on developing unique and high-quality tourism offerings that entice tourist spending to expand tourism.
To improve the quality of its workforce, Ha Noi will prioritize high-quality training for jobs that meet the city's socio-economic development requirements. This includes focusing on students' career orientation in secondary education and implementing a project to upgrade vocational education from 2025 to 2030, with a vision to 2035, while strengthening partnerships with enterprises.
The city is estimated to create 225,000 jobs in 2024, which is 136.3 percent of the annual plan./.
