The Vietnam EPS Labour Management Office and Vietnam's labour management board in the RoK have regularly organized such meeting to intensify the management of and support for Vietnamese guest workers, ensuring that they abide by their signed contracts and the law of the host nation.
Over the past time, the board and the office have actively cooperated with relevant agencies to welcome all flights with Vietnamese workers onboard, and to deliver lectures and guide related procedures for them at training centres in the RoK. They also worked with the Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD) to tackle cases involving Vietnamese workers and regularly update their information.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs and the RoK’s Ministry of Employment and Labour have coordinated to organise Korean language exams and bring 6,057 Vietnamese workers to the RoK over the past two years under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the EPS Programme signed by the two sides in February 2021.
From the 4th quarter of 2022, they have continued their negotiations and are expected to re-sign the MoU in early 2023 to bring Vietnamese workers to RoK./.
