Technical workers go to Korea, salary is 50-60 million VND/month

The Deputy Minister also directly verified information about foreign workers in general, including Vietnamese workers at this corporation specializing in the shipbuilding industry, about the company's good welfare policies, ensuring workers' lives, especially regarding labor safety.

Upgrading work visa

In the technical labor group, with E7 visa (visa for technical workers with experience), Tran Van Binh, 25 years old, from Nghe An , said he has been working at Hyundai Mipo Korea for more than a month. As a worker who has been trained in the country and has experience working in this industry, after coming to Korea, Binh only spent 3 days interning at the factory and then officially joined the production line.

Similarly, Nguyen Van Son (from Ha Tinh ) went to Korea to work in the same field he studied in Vietnam, so his work has been very favorable, even though it has only been a few months. Son commented that the conditions in the company dormitory are better than in Vietnam.

Le Khanh Hien, from Hai Phong, came here last March to work in the electrical field at a Mipo company. The young man said that with the skills already available in Vietnam, any worker can work right away in Korea. For Hien, the difficulty comes from the language problem.

Currently, Hien lives in the group's foreign dormitory, 4 people per room, with generally adequate living conditions. He is satisfied with his work and life in his host country.

The thing that young male workers "like" the most is that they get regular overtime here. When they need to mobilize workers, the company will ask for their opinions, and whoever agrees will work overtime and get higher salary and bonuses.

General Director of Hyundai Mipo Kim Hyung Kwan informed that this Korean enterprise is in great need of foreign workers and always highly appreciates the capacity of Vietnamese workers. The company is committed to always taking care of and improving the income of foreign workers and will try to take better care of the lives and policies of each employee.

Unlike other new workers, Pham Van Vu (born in 1996, from Bac Giang) has been working in Korea for more than 6 years, and has only joined Huyndai Mipo for 1 year. Vu started out as an international student, coming to Korea under a D4 visa. To be able to switch to an E7 visa, Vu went through a long journey, persevering step by step.

Although not a worker who is trained in the field from the beginning, Vu has an advantage because he was an international student majoring in Korean language. He also shared the same joy as Hien: "The company allows a lot of overtime so workers like me have a salary of 2.5-3 million won/month (equivalent to 50-60 million VND), higher than the basic salary prescribed in Korea."

With no living expenses, Vu can save a lot of money, so he is very excited. Overcoming the initial difficulties when he was not used to working in the factory, Vu is now satisfied because the job is moderate, suitable, and not too hard. Vu works about 20 hours a week, and can work more when needed, but still gives himself 2 full days off on the weekend to go out, climb mountains, and do sports.

Good human resources return to develop the country

In the group of unskilled workers with E9 visa and vocational students with D4-6 visa, Bui Van Linh (from Nghe An) said that the factory where he works as a ship hull riveter currently has 7 Vietnamese people. In the near future, 5 more people will come to study and work, making a total of 12 Vietnamese people, enough to form a strong group.

E9 workers work under a time-limited contract (currently 4 years and 3 months), so Linh is striving to have his visa status changed to technical worker so that he can sponsor his wife and children to come. The male worker expressed his wish to stay in Korea long-term.

Bui Van Dai (born in 1998, also from Nghe An) came to Korea with a D4-6 visa. Dai said there are many advantages for interns from learning conditions, accommodation to vocational training. After completing 3 months of language and vocational training, Dai started to receive a trainee salary.

Every week, male workers go to work 3 days, go to school 2 days, have 2 full days off on the weekend, and receive 1 million won (equivalent to 18-19 million VND) per month. Dai thinks this salary is suitable for someone who both studies and works like him.

Fellow countryman Le Quoc Viet, born in 1997, came here at the same time as Dai. He had difficulty learning the language, so the training center provided extra classes 3 evenings a week. Viet is trying harder to get his work visa changed soon.

Le Viet Giap is also an intern with a D4-6 visa. He commented that the learning process was comfortable, at first he did not expect to receive so much support. His family in Vietnam was also reassured that their children did not have to worry about food or cold in a foreign country. After 3 months in Korea, he gained 3kg, Giap said, most of the interns were like him because they ate well and lived a disciplined life.

Giving gifts to encourage each worker, Deputy Minister Nguyen Ba Hoan told them to strive step by step to study and improve their skills, to achieve higher job positions, better visa status, and receive expected income.

He emphasized that workers who go to Korea to work in basic engineering industries such as shipbuilding are a good source of human resources to return and contribute to the country's economic development in the future. The leaders of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs encouraged each individual to comply with the law, have work discipline, focus on the country, return home on time and have a specific plan to maintain a sustainable labor market in Korea.

The Deputy Minister also expressed his confidence in the leaders of foreign enterprises, that if possible, they would take better care of the material and spiritual conditions of Vietnamese workers far from home.
