In a positive development for Vietnam's labor export industry, the recent decision by Vietnam and Portugal to open embassies in each other’s countries marks a significant milestone in strengthening bilateral relations—particularly in the area of labor cooperation.
This move paves the way for greater access for Vietnamese workers to enter the Portuguese labor market, one of the stable economies within the European Union. With sectors such as agricultural processing, hospitality, tourism, construction, and services facing growing labor shortages in Portugal, Vietnamese workers have an excellent opportunity to fill this demand.
As a trusted workforce supplier, recruitment agency, and employment agency, Vietnam Manpower is actively preparing to seize this opportunity. The company has initiated specialized training programs aimed at equipping Vietnamese workers with the necessary skills, technical knowledge, and foreign language proficiency to meet European standards. These include job readiness for key roles such as food processing, hotel services, and general construction work.
Vietnam Manpower's proactive strategy ensures that its candidates are well-prepared both professionally and culturally. Beyond technical training, workers are guided on adapting to European work ethics, legal requirements, and integration support—providing long-term value to employers across the EU.
Additionally, under the EVFTA (EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement), Vietnamese workers placed in Portugal may benefit from favorable employment conditions, including transparent contracts, improved protections, and legal safeguards. This makes hiring from Vietnam not only an efficient but also a compliant solution for European companies.
A spokesperson from Vietnam Manpower noted:
"We view Portugal as a strategic gateway into the European labor market. Vietnam Manpower is fully committed to delivering high-quality manpower solutions that meet the needs of employers while opening new horizons for Vietnamese talent."
With this diplomatic progress and the expertise of Vietnam Manpower in sourcing and preparing quality workers, European companies now have even more reason to consider Vietnam as a top destination for skilled, hardworking employees.
