Vietnam has sent around 57,919 Vietnamese guest workers abroad in the past eight months of the year, according to the Overseas Labour Management Department under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
Of the total, Taiwan employed 22,865, Malaysia 16,710, the Republic of Korea 10,148, Japan 3, 730, Macau 1,770, Saudi Arabia 1,936, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 2,072 and other markets 8,688.
The MoLISA issued decision in August introducing brokerage charges the workers have to pay to export businesses in several markets. It also developed a pilot project on vocational training for guest workers from the fourth quarter of the year until 2010, and 35 labour export businesses will be selected to carry out the project.
Investment capital for the project will be sourced from the State budget (10 billion dong), businesses and labourers. Major training areas will be welding, garments, mechanics and hotel services, with courses lasting between 3 and 6 months.
The project aims to send skilled workers abroad, especially to stable and high-income markets.
