Promoting propaganda

One of the three breakthrough programs of the XI Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025 is Human Resource Training to meet the needs of industrial and agricultural development of the province. Accordingly, Scheme on sending employees to work abroad is an opportunity to train and improve the quality of human resources, contributing to completing the breakthrough program. And after the Scheme was approved, many conferences and consultation sessions were deployed quickly and promptly from province to grassroots level. Up to now, districts and town have completed the deployment of the Scheme.

The content for implementing the Scheme includes: Benefits of participating in working abroad; Companies and reputable businesses have the function of sending employees to work abroad; the province's loan policies to support employees working abroad; conditions for getting loans, interest rates, payment methods; the labor market has a stable income and high welfare; salary levels, industry needs, jobs the labor market needs; etc.

Head of of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Tan Hung district - Vo Hong Thai said: “Previously, the Division had not identified reputable companies that had the function of sending employees abroad, so they did not promote transmission. Since the Division participated in the province's Scheme implementation conference, the department bravely organized many consultation sessions, including inviting some companies for which the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs has assessed the legal status to bring employees to go to work abroad. After consulting, the Division has received information that there are more than 10 employees applying for registration to work abroad; At the same time, many people come to the commune to find out information about loan procedures and policies. This is a good sign, affirming Tan Hung has a lot of potential to send employees to work abroad”.

As a bridge between enterprises and employees, since the Scheme was passed, Long An Center for Job Service has coordinated with 9 enterprises having function of sending workers abroad (out of 12 enterprises participating in the Scheme) organized over 30 counseling and recruitment of workers, with more than 7,000 attendees in many different subjects such as high school students, union members, youth, employees participating in the Job Exchange, etc.

Vice Rector in charge of Long An Economic - Technical Middle School - Pham Thi Trinh confided: “At the graduation ceremony, the school coordinated with Long An Center for Job Service to organize a job festival for pupils and students. Here, they can choose to work both at home and abroad with high wages. However, the school's orientation still focuses on creating conditions for students to participate in foreign work, because this is an opportunity to practice vocational skills, working style, especially when returning home the opportunity to work as a manager very high in foreign companies”.

With the efforts and efforts of all levels, sectors, and real life, people understand that the benefits of going to work abroad are increasing income and training high-quality human resources for their homeland. 

Creating the most favorable conditions

Not only interested in promoting propaganda, the Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs sector also actively looks for quality foreign labor markets, especially creating all conditions for employees wishing to go to work. Foreigners are equipped with the necessary skills and labor locally instead of going to Ho Chi Minh City to study costly and time. Specifically, Long An College and ESUHAI Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement. Accordingly, Long An College will create conditions for ESUHAI Co., Ltd to borrow facilities to open Japanese language training classes, Japanese cultural training and set up consulting offices to send employees abroad to work in Long An.

After setting up consulting office, ESUHAI Co., Ltd. cooperated with Long An College to organize counseling for 4,000 pupils and students in affiliated facilities. Up to now, the company has more than 500 pupils and students registered to study short and long-term Japanese classes, of which 4 students have joined the internship class to work in Japan. This confirms that the Scheme initially brought many remarkable results. Nguyen Anh Khoa (a trainee) shared: “It is expected that in March 2021, I will graduate from Automobile Technology at Long An College - Main Campus. Currently, I both work as an apprentice and trainee to prepare conditions for working abroad. I decided to work abroad because I wanted to have a stable income, take care of the family economy and practice vocational skills. After returning home, I opened a small establishment or went to work in a foreign company in Vietnam”.

Besides the results, the implementation and performance of Scheme in the province still has many difficulties: Some localities have not paid attention to implementing the Scheme; Most parents are afraid of letting their children work away from home; Many people do not fully understand the benefits, significance and effectiveness of the Scheme; The Covid-19 epidemic has not been controlled, so going to work abroad will affect health and life; etc.
