Opening of the National Network of Job Centers

The Government of Mongolia has set a goal to increase employment through a national platform for labour exchanges and social services, in line with international standards. This initiative is part of the Government’s 2024-2028 Action Plan and aims to promote public-private partnerships in employment.

As part of this initiative, the first four Job Center locations were opened in Ulaanbaatar. These centers will cater to various groups, including stay-at-home mothers and people with disabilities, each offering services tailored to their specific needs. However, the centers are open to all individuals seeking employment.

The Job Centers are located in the Khan-Uul, Bayangol, and Sukhbaatar districts of the capital. Services provided at these centers include skill assessments, career counseling, job placement assistance, labor market information, and information about relevant laws and regulations—all accessible in one place.

Currently, the labor market faces challenges such as labor shortages, persistent unemployment, and poverty, as well as a mismatch between the education system and the demand for skilled labor. The Government plans to address these issues by implementing policies focused on employment services, strengthening public-private partnerships, and updating the legal framework to improve the quality and accessibility of employment policies.

In the future, a total of 19 Job Centers will be opened nationwide.
