The effort is part of the HCM City-based Vietnam Students' Association six-year programme that begins this month.
Under the programme, 500 graduates will be encouraged to work in the districts of Hoc Mon, Thu Duc, Cu Chi, Binh Chanh and Nha Be.
Graduates from pedagogy and health colleges and universities as well as vocational schools will be given priority, according to Le Quoc Phong, the association's chairman.
They will receive a salary between 3 million VND and 3.5 million VND (155-180 USD) per month and will be trained to improve professional skills.
Each year, around 100,000 students graduate from universities, colleges and vocational schools. Of that figure, more than 50,000 work in the city, and far fewer work in the outskirts.
The city Department of Home Affair's report shows that five districts face a serious shortage of human resources, especially teachers and doctors.
For this academic year, the five districts need more than 300 teachers, including 224 in Binh Chanh District, 60 in Cu Chi District, 22 in Nha Be district and 18 in Hoc Mon district.
According to the city Department of Health's representatives, the number of doctors and nurses at hospitals, especially at health clinics, in the city outskirts, is very low.
In addition to teachers and doctors, other sectors in the city need people to fill official government jobs.
Vo Thi Yen, deputy chairwoman of People's Committee in Hoc Mon district, said the district lacked many officials in key sectors.
The administrative sector in the district needs 30 officials, and the economic sector 12.
For graduates who do not have a long-term temporary residential book, the district would create favourable conditions to register to have a book and provide proper allowances as well as chances to improve their skills, Yen said.
Pham Phuong Thu, student at Pham Ngoc Thach Medical University , said that new graduates, who often want opportunities to work and accumulate experience, should take advantage of the incentives.
However, Kieu Anh Vu of the city's University of Law pointed out that the salary must be high enough to ensure a living and that conditions should help him have an opportunity to create and contribute to the job.
Nguyen Thi Hang, chairwoman of Trung Lap Ha Commune in Cu Chi District, said that each district needed creative and self-motivated young people.
Many preferential policies for new graduates who want to work in the city's outskirts have been created.
New graduates working in the city's outskirts average about 3.5 million VND (180 USD).
Le Thi Tam, who teaches at a school in the outskirts, said her studies in social work and participation in activities during university helped her make up her mind.
She said her salary was very low, but she continued teaching.
"It is important that new graduates should define their objective and
have a good, sincere heart to bring to the locality where they work,"
Tam said./.
