Going abroad is not just to make money
In 2025, Quang Ngai province had more than 1,000 workers (NLĐ) going to work abroad under contract, reaching 102.7% compared to the same period in 2024. Workers in the province mainly work in the Japanese, Korean markets...
Mr. Pham Ngoc Huy (village 6, Tra Bong commune) said that he had just returned after 6 years working in the agricultural sector in Korea. The day he left his hometown, he was almost empty-handed; the day he returned, he brought with him capital, experience and a new business mindset.
Thanks to the accumulated money, Mr. Huy boldly invested in two excavators and two trucks to develop the economy in the locality. A stable job and a decent income helped his family's life quickly improve.
Going abroad is not just to make money. More importantly, learn how to work scientifically, disciplined, and know how to apply technology to production. If you want to have a high income, you must be hardworking and willing to work overtime" - Mr. Huy shared.
Mr. Huy's story is not the only case. Many workers, after completing their contracts, have returned to their hometowns, becoming skilled workers with capital, contributing to promoting local economic development.
Removing language barriers, supporting loans for workers
From the success stories of workers who have worked abroad, people are increasingly confident in labor export policies. At the same time, functional sectors are also strengthening propaganda and warning of forms of fraud, guiding people to identify reputable units sending workers to work abroad.
Ms. Dinh Thi Tra - Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs - said that one of the biggest barriers for workers when working abroad is foreign languages. Many young workers in mountainous areas have health and will but are limited in communication skills.
We coordinate to open Japanese, Korean, English, and Chinese classes right in mountainous localities, organizing flexible times to suit people's activities" - Ms. Tra said.
In addition, the Department of Home Affairs coordinates with the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to implement preferential loan programs with low interest rates and flexible repayment terms. Poor households, near-poor households, and ethnic minorities are also partially supported with costs. Thanks to preferential capital, thousands of Quang Ngai workers have had the opportunity to reach out to the international market, creating a stable and long-term income source.
Mr. Vo Duy Yen - Acting Director of the Quang Ngai Provincial Employment Service Center - said that the center maintains connections between workers, families and localities throughout their time working abroad. When workers return home, they continue to be consulted and introduced to suitable jobs.
In the coming time, the Center will continue to provide vocational training and foreign languages close to market demand; prepare high-quality labor sources; and at the same time strengthen inspection, supervision and fully implement policies to support workers.
