The comrades chaired the conference

Sending workers to work abroad for a fixed term under contract contributes to increasing budget revenue through remittances from workers to their localities, as well as improving people's lives. In particular, workers who work abroad for a fixed term under contract have the opportunity to learn, improve their skills, foreign language knowledge, accumulate international work experience and expand social relationships. However, people's awareness of sending workers to work abroad for a fixed term under contract is still limited, leading to some people being scammed and losing money, mainly due to lack of reliable information, unclear sources of information, and lack of complete information about sending companies...

At the conference, many delegates presented their opinions and solutions related to the work of sending workers to work abroad for a limited period under contract, such as: assessing the implementation of propaganda and mobilization tasks; monitoring, managing and supporting workers before and after their contracts expire and they return home; orienting tasks to be implemented in the coming time to improve quality, efficiency and avoid risks for workers going to work abroad for a limited period under contract, etc.

Representative of Solex Investment, Trade and Service Joint Stock Company (Ho Chi Minh City) mentioned the labor demand in Japan.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Phan Van Thang - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Party Committee highly appreciated the results achieved in the work of sending laborers to work abroad for a limited period under contracts.
