Summary
Seven ministry-run programs are sending Vietnamese workers to South Korea, Japan, Germany and Taiwan under non-profit schemes that emphasize transparency, low fees and, in many cases, full tuition and airfare support.
Workers in the programs receive pay and welfare benefits on par with local employees, which the Ministry of Home Affairs says will help create jobs, raise incomes and support long-term human-resource development.
South Korea’s EPS program allows work in manufacturing, construction, agriculture, fisheries, forestry and services for up to 4 years and 10 months, while Japan’s three programs cover elderly care, manufacturing, construction and food processing.
Taiwan’s program recruits men and women for manufacturing and patient and elderly care on 3-year contracts extendable up to 12 years, while Germany’s track targets nursing graduates 21 and older for assistant roles in elder-care facilities.
