In implementation of the Project on Sending Workers Abroad, from the beginning of the year until now, districts, towns, and cities across the province have focused on supporting vocational training, solving employment issues, and encouraging local laborers to participate in the international labor market. As a result, workers have increased their income, stabilized their lives, and contributed to the socio-economic development of Yen Bai Province.

As of May 2025, a total of 366 workers from the province have gone to work abroad (reaching 31.3% of the set target). Of these, 191 went to Japan, 101 to Taiwan, 56 to South Korea, 7 to Qatar, 4 to Algeria, and 7 to other markets.

The province has recorded positive signs in the implementation of labor export, as all 9 out of 9 localities have workers going abroad. Specifically, Van Yen District: 90 workers; Nghia Lo Town: 64; Yen Binh District: 43; Van Chan District: 38; Tran Yen District: 37; Yen Bai City: 29; Luc Yen District: 29; Tram Tau District: 29; Mu Cang Chai District: 7.

In addition, localities and units in the province have actively implemented the dispatch of seasonal workers to South Korea through cooperation agreements between localities of the two countries. Yen Bai City and Nghia Lo Town have carried out memorandums of understanding on seasonal labor recruitment with Wonju City, Gangwon Province, South Korea. The Department of Home Affairs has signed cooperation agreements with the Jeollanam-do Provincial Office, the Social Integration Agency of the Ministry of Justice of South Korea, and the Government of Goryeong County, North Gyeongsang Province.

Through these agreements, 28 workers have been sent to work seasonally in Wonju City, Gangwon Province, South Korea, including 7 from Yen Bai City and 21 from Nghia Lo Town. Currently, authorities are processing the selection of approximately 200 workers to be sent to South Korea in June–July 2025.

To support citizens going abroad to work, the Yen Bai Branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies has provided preferential loans to 74 individuals under provincial policy, with a total disbursed amount of over VND 5.6 billion.

To continue effectively implementing the Project on Sending Workers Abroad, in the near future, agencies, departments, mass organizations, and localities in the province will further strengthen information dissemination, career counseling, and the formation of labor export sources; review and determine labor export needs to promptly offer counseling and support; and coordinate with selected enterprises to recruit and train workers before sending them abroad.

The province will also organize delegations to visit South Korean provinces to promote the implementation of signed agreements and assess the situation of Yen Bai workers currently working abroad.
