Summary
More than 1,000 Hanoi students surveyed for a 2026 labor-market bulletin showed especially strong demand for hands-on career exposure, with 81.7% of high school students wanting direct visits to factories and businesses.
The bulletin tied that demand to weak practical guidance in schools: 67.2% of high school students said they rarely or only occasionally receive coaching on CV writing and interview skills.
At the secondary level, family and school influence were evenly matched, with 42.2% of students turning first to family and 42.2% to teachers or career counselors for advice.
Among high school families, 85.6% respected students' final career choices to some degree, including 47.4% that regularly did so, suggesting greater student autonomy at that stage.
Only 10.5% of secondary students actively search online for career information, prompting the Hanoi Employment Service Center to urge use of verified social-media and official sources.
