The event brought together representatives from the Departments of Home Affairs and Employment Service Centers from 20 provinces and cities in the Northern and North Central regions, along with officials from relevant agencies.
The conference provided a platform to harmonize understanding, standardize procedures, update new policies and technologies, and strengthen coordination mechanisms between central and local authorities in deploying low-cost, non-profit labor export programs.
The initiative aims to safeguard workers’ rights and interests and support human resource development and labor diplomacy, contributing to social security and deeper international integration.
Dang Huy Hong, Director of the Center for Overseas Labor at the Ministry of Home Affairs, said that workers selected and professionally trained through these programs will be able to focus on their jobs, improve their incomes, and acquire valuable skills and experience.
They will also serve as “human resource ambassadors”, helping project the image of Vietnam and its people as industrious, disciplined, responsible, warm-hearted, and ambitious.
Sending Vietnamese workers abroad under non-profit programs requires close coordination among agencies at all levels, along with the dedication and persistence of everyone involved, said Hong.
According to Hong, Each worker’s application embodies a family’s hopes, a life-changing opportunity, and a journey toward self-reliance and career development. It is also an opportunity to improve the image of Vietnamese workers in the global labor market.
“From this perspective, we need to build a comprehensive ‘human resource cycle’ that covers every stage—from providing information and counseling, to selection and training in languages, vocational skills and labor discipline; from sending, managing and protecting workers abroad, to supporting their reintegration upon return through job placement, entrepreneurship and the effective utilization of the experience and skills they have gained,” Hong said.
