Creating jobs for rural workers

Established in July 2024, Tay Bac Garment Factory located in residential group 5, Quyet Tien ward (Lai Chau city) has contributed to creating on-site jobs for women and developing the local socio-economy.

Stemming from the desire to increase family income and at the same time create jobs for local people, especially ethnic minority women who have free time and cannot travel far to work, Ms. Vu Thi Minh - owner of Tay Bac Garment Factory boldly rented premises, sought partners, and linked up with garment companies and enterprises in Hanoi and the lowland provinces to produce costumes according to professional needs and job positions. Currently, the facility has invested in production lines and equipment systems of more than 30 industrial sewing machines.
As one of the workers who have been with Tay Bac Garment Factory since its establishment, Ms. Le Thi Ha in residential group 3 (Quyet Tien ward) shared: When the garment factory accepted me, I was very happy. Because the location is close to home, I am raising a small child. With an income of 5 million VND/month, my sisters and I in the communes and wards in the city are assured and excited to have a job, improving our lives. The work is light, suitable for health, salary is based on products, no pressure.

Tay Bac Garment Factory has been providing jobs for many local workers.

As for Ms. Di Thi Hong in Nam Loong 1 village (Quyet Thang ward), she used to do many jobs for hire, and her work was unstable. Since working at Ms. Minh's sewing workshop, she and many other workers in the area have had stable jobs. During the working process, Ms. Minh enthusiastically guided them to complete the shirts and pants according to the correct size and design according to the customer's requirements. Compared to when she used to stay at home doing farming and housework, the money earned from sewing has helped her family have a much easier life.
According to the workers here, thanks to the facility maintaining large orders, women have regular jobs. Some women even receive orders to do at home, so they can take care of their families, manage their children's education and have an income.
Ms. Vu Thi Minh - owner of Tay Bac Garment Factory said: Currently, the garment factory has 12 regular workers, with trained workers having a basic salary of 5 million VND/person/month, not including overtime. For workers who are both studying and working, the salary is 3 million VND/person/month. In addition to the salary regime, the facility also has attractive policies for workers from far away such as: support for gas money, suitable accommodation. However, the current difficulty is that although ethnic minority women learn to embroider and sew traditional costumes from a young age, when it comes to industrial sewing, they are still slow and have not caught up with the production line operations. Therefore, the training time is long.
Currently, the garment factory has signed many large orders, which is also a premise to expand the scale of operations, attract more workers to work and feel secure in long-term commitment. However, Ms. Minh still hopes to continue to receive support from local agencies and units in terms of costumes and uniforms, thereby reducing transportation costs and creating more jobs for local workers.
