The effectiveness of sending workers to work abroad

After 5 years working for an electronics company in Korea, Mr. Luu Van Hien in Ea Ning commune was sponsored by his old company and invited to continue working under a second contract. In early 2025, he continued to work in Korea. Mr. Hien shared: “This is an opportunity for me to work and earn money, saving for the future. When I work for a limited time, I save money to send back to my family. Thanks to that, my family's life is much better.”

Tran Thi Thuy Linh and her husband in Dong Hoa ward have just finished their 6-month seasonal labor contract in Korea and have had their contract extended. Their job is to grow mulberry. They work 8 hours a day with an income of nearly 1 million VND/person. The farm owner cares about the living and accommodation of the workers. Mr. Huynh Nam, Linh's husband, confided: "I have worked in Korea for more than 10 years as a mechanic. Last year, my contract ended so I returned home. Recently, when I heard that the province signed an agreement with a neighboring country to recruit workers, my wife and I registered to go together to support and help each other. With an income of more than 40 million VND/person/month, we can take care of our children and have a better life in the future."

Workers attend interviews for temporary employment abroad.

Head of the Department of Labor - Employment (Department of Home Affairs) Ho Kim Phat said: Since the beginning of the year, the whole province has coordinated with 14 companies with the function of recruiting workers to work in Korea, Japan, Germany, New Zealand, Denmark... to organize job fairs, through which more than 400 workers have registered to work abroad for a limited period, reaching more than 89% of the plan. From now until the end of the year, the whole province will strengthen cooperation, sign contracts to expand the labor market with developed countries that need to recruit workers to send workers to work for a limited period.

Mr. Jeong Jeong Su, Head of the Agricultural Policy Team of Goryeong-gun County (Korea), shared that currently, farms in Goryeong-gun County are in need of a lot of labor for cultivation and harvest preparation. Through direct interviews with workers in the province, it can be seen that many workers have experience and agricultural skills, meeting the recruitment criteria. Every year, Goryeong-gun County needs to recruit 50-100 workers to work in this field. This is a long-term opportunity, opening the door to high-paying jobs for many local workers.

According to Ms. Lee Ju Hee, President of Unione Company - the direct labor recruitment unit, the company wishes to recruit more female workers who are skilled, meticulous, hard-working, honest, not afraid of hard work, weather... to do farm work on the farms.

To support job creation for local workers and temporary workers abroad, the province has issued regulations on loaning capital to work temporarily abroad using local capital. Accordingly, workers going to work abroad can borrow up to 80% of the cost stated in the signed contract but not more than 100 million VND. This policy helps to solve initial difficulties so that workers can boldly register to work abroad.

“Sending workers to work abroad for a limited period of time not only brings economic efficiency, but also achieves social goals. That is, not only do they have high incomes, but after working abroad, workers also improve their technical expertise, foreign languages, acquire advanced technologies, and industrial working styles, contributing to the formation of a highly skilled workforce. After returning home, they can easily find jobs with high incomes, meeting the requirements of the country's industrialization and modernization,” informed Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs Phan Dai Thang.
