Efforts are being made to improve the quality and effectiveness of vocational training for rural workers, with a focus on those from poor and near-poor households, ethnic minorities, and laborers preparing to work abroad under contract. The province is organizing training sessions based on enterprise needs, aligned with local industry restructuring and development planning.

Yen Bai is also working to build a strong pool of workers for labor export to high-income and stable markets, and to effectively implement socio-economic development policies and investment attraction initiatives. These efforts particularly target major investors in industry, tourism, and services, aiming to attract and retain local labor, improve productivity, raise income levels, and create sustainable employment opportunities across the province.
