Abundant High-Paying Job Opportunities for Vietnamese Workers Abroad

DNHN - The Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs has proposed focusing on enhancing cooperation with markets such as South Korea, Japan and Germany, where there is a particularly high demand for labour.

The Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, Nguyen Ba Hoan, has issued a series of important directives to the Overseas Labour Centre to ensure that labour export achieves positive results and contributes to the development of Vietnamese human resources in the international market in 2024.

Specifically, in the context of the continued high demand for labour in foreign markets, Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Ba Hoan has proposed that the Overseas Labour Centre focus on implementing skilled labour export programmes. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening cooperation with markets such as South Korea, Japan and Germany, where there is a particularly high demand for labour.

According to the Director of the Overseas Labour Centre, Dang Huy Hong, the strategy of recruiting and accepting workers on a non-profit, low-cost basis will continue to be implemented. Labour export programmes will continue to expand, with 165,000 people expected to be accepted by South Korea in 2024. In particular, the Centre will implement a Memorandum of Understanding with the IM Japan Organisation to dispatch and accept workers following specific guidelines.

At the same time, to ensure the quality of the workforce, the Centre will increase the organisation of Korean language and vocational skills exams, and pilot the selection of workers for the Osaka Programme in the form of vocational training orders. This is to meet the increasingly high demand for quality human resources, especially in fields such as nursing, midwifery and medical practice.

In terms of managing and supporting workers working abroad, the Centre is committed to strengthening the protection of workers’ legitimate rights. At the same time, it will establish a database of recruiting companies and a network of returning workers to facilitate their settling back home.

In addition to focusing on improving the quality of the workforce, Deputy Minister Nguyen Ba Hoan has also proposed expanding the location of education and training to create favourable conditions for workers and expanding support and job placement activities. Information technology and digital transformation will also be integrated into all stages of the dispatch process to optimise professional and management work.

Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Ba Hoan called on the Centre to expand and develop labour-receiving markets, especially in disadvantaged areas and for social policy targets. This is to increase employment opportunities for this group of people and promote the sustainable development of Vietnamese human resources on the international stage.
