DNO - Young Da Nang workers’ quick adaptation and good work performance in Nagasaki signals strong potential for deeper labour cooperation.
Da Nang was among the first Vietnamese cities to forge close ties with Nagasaki, particularly in nursing and elderly care through a ‘work-and-study’ model lasting three to five years.
Nearly one year into their placements at the Kaifu Sou Special Elderly Nursing Home in Saikai City, trainees Tran Thi Thanh Thuy from Hiep Duc and Tran Phuong Thao from Tam Ky, Da Nang have overcome initial cultural and language barriers to become trusted employees.
“At first, Japanese was a huge challenge. But by persistently studying at company-run language classes and practicing every day, I’ve grown more confident in my work and daily life’, said Thuy.
Kaifu Sou President Ms. Lakamura praised the Vietnamese interns for their highly attentive, hardworking and energetic learners. “With such abilities, we are eager to take in more trainees. The key is to improve Japanese skills to better integrate into both work and life,” she noted.
Mr. Tanaka, the manager at Isahaya Chou Special Elderly Care Facility said the Vietnamese trainees have proven their capabilities through dedication and hard work.
Nagasaki’s labour market is known for its high standards, but it offers modern facilities, safe living conditions, and opportunities across nursing, manufacturing, agriculture and services.
For many young people from Da Nang’s rural and mountainous areas, this is a chance to secure stable jobs, develop skills and shape future careers. Between 2021 and mid-2025, thousands of workers from Da Nang have gone to Japan, many to Nagasaki.
Da Nang is strengthening labour cooperation with Nagasaki in manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and services, offering stable, well-paid job opportunities for local youth, particularly from rural and mountainous areas.
Japanese employers have supported Vietnamese trainees with jobs, housing, training in language, culture, and vocational skills, helping them overcome initial challenges, as well as connected them with the local Vietnamese community.
