Opening the way to the future through labor export.

For many young people, working abroad is not only an opportunity to improve their income but also a journey to accumulate knowledge, experience, and professional skills. The working environment overseas helps young people mature, improve their foreign language skills, and create a foundation for long-term future plans.

To attract young workers interested in overseas employment, localities are stepping up propaganda efforts and organizing numerous career counseling and job placement sessions. Simultaneously, they are focusing on supporting rural workers in accessing official information about overseas labor markets, income, rights, and support policies, thereby creating favorable conditions for workers to participate in overseas employment under contract.

Currently, the labor export market continues to expand with diverse recruitment needs in various sectors such as manufacturing, assembly, mechanics, agriculture, and livestock farming, along with attractive incomes. Each year, hundreds of thousands of young workers go to work in countries and territories, contributing to job creation and increased income for young people. From the beginning of 2025 to the present, the province has had over 2,300 workers go to work abroad under contract in markets such as Japan, Taiwan (China), and South Korea... Of these, 2,131 workers are aged between 18 and 30.

Mr. Tran Van Truong's family, residing in Vinh Binh hamlet, Vinh Tuy commune, has two children who are working abroad. Through career counseling and job placement sessions at their school, both children chose to work overseas. After graduating from high school, they both applied to work in Japan. After four months of language training and cultural, social, and legal education, they received certificates and went to work in Ishikawa province (Japan) under a three-year contract.

Nguyen Phuc Trung and Nguyen Phuc Hau, the two sons of Mr. Truong, said that after more than a year working in Japan, they have stable jobs and a decent income. Trung works at a wood processing company, and Hau works at a sewing thread manufacturing company, earning between 20 and 32 million VND per month each. Hau shared: “I went to work abroad to earn income to help my parents. At first, my family was worried because we had to work far from home, but after receiving advice and guidance on procedures from relevant agencies and choosing suitable jobs, my family felt more at ease. We faced many difficulties in the beginning in Japan, but gradually we adapted to the work and life there. After deducting living expenses, we send about 20 million VND home to our family each month.”

Trung couldn't hide his joy when talking about his new journey: "I'm going abroad for work to change my own life and my family's. I'm trying to work hard and save money to build a house for my parents and buy more land. After my contract expires, I'll continue to work in Japan for a few more years to accumulate capital for the future; at the same time, I'll improve my Japanese language skills to have a better chance of finding a better job later."

Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Binh, residing in Vinh Hoa Hung commune, has worked in Japan for nearly three years. Thanks to a stable job with a decent income, he has accumulated capital to prepare for his economic development plan upon returning to his hometown. Mr. Binh shared: “I work in the mechanical field, and the work is heavily supported by machinery, so it's not too strenuous. After covering living expenses, I send a portion of my income back to help my family, and save the rest. When my labor contract ends, I plan to return to my hometown and open a shop selling mechanical products and accessories.”

Labor export not only helps workers find stable jobs with high incomes but also creates opportunities for young people to learn industrial work habits, improve their skills, and accumulate experience. From the income earned by workers abroad, many families have the opportunity to improve their lives, build houses, invest in economic development, and gradually become more prosperous.
