Nguyen Thi Quy, Director of the Viet Ha Company, a local labour exporter, said her company has sent 305 workers to work mostly in the electronics, garments, and mechanical industries in Malaysia since the beginning of this year.
Many local labourers preferred Malaysian market thanks to the country’s high economic growth, political stability and incentive policies on payment for workers, Quy said.
Vocational training for guest workers Malaysia is also home to many large foreign investors such as Canon, Sony and Renesas from Japan and the US-based Enron and Meritex, which offer great employment opportunities for workers.
In addition, local guest workers pay lower fees to work in Malaysia than in other foreign markets (around VND6-15 million per labour contract) and they often earn a monthly income of VND7-20 million for a two or three-year contract.
The Japanese market is also favoured by Vietnamese guest workers, including university graduates. The main reasons for this are the country’s simple immigration procedures, high incomes and safe working environment.
About 70 percent of the labourers in Nghe An have registered to work in Malaysia and Japan.
In the first half of 2013, more than 15,950 workers have been employed, including 5,600 sent overseas, mostly to Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, the Republic of Korea and Middle Eastern countries.
Tens of millions of US dollars are channeled through banks to the homeland each month, not including other forms of remitting money, said the Nghe An provincial Statistics Department.
Nghe An considers labour export a key solution to sustainable poverty reduction. Therefore, local workers often receive vocational training and incentive bank loans so they can seek employment opportunities abroad.
