Da Bac district, like many other localities, faces challenges such as unemployment and unstable job opportunities, with an average 900 labourers needing vocational training annually and nearly 1,000 looking for jobs. The district has collaborated with the provincial Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs, job service centres, and domestic and international recruitment agencies to organise job fairs and consultation sessions every year.
Local youngsters inquire into overseas employment and educational opportunities in China’s Taiwan and Japan at a job fair.
In 2024, the district hosted three job fairs in Tan Minh, Vay
Nua and Doan Ket communes, as well as several career counseling workshops.
Through these efforts, 1,125 local labourers found jobs, mostly in industry-construction,
trade-service, and agri-forestry.
Additionally, 90 workers secured contracts for overseas
employment, with destinations including China's Taiwan and Japan.
Vu Hai Yen, recruitment director at TRAENCO International,
highlighted the high interest in overseas employment among local residents, but
they lack a clear understanding of such opportunities. By providing detailed
information at job fairs, the company has supported workers in accessing
financing and state support to get overseas employment.
Labour export has proven to be an effective tool for job
creation in the locality, offering labourers stable income and fostering
economic growth. Authorities have emphasised the importance of selecting
reputable companies to ensure workers receive proper benefits and avoid risks.
In the coming time, the district plans to strengthen its labour
export initiatives by updating information on recruitment opportunities, and
enhancing vocational training programmes.

The district aims to expand this programme, helping more
residents access international job markets, improve livelihoods, and achieve
sustainable poverty alleviation.
In recent years, the development of rural handicrafts has not only helped preserve and promote the traditional values but it has also created jobs and improved incomes for the local residents.
