Nghe An Employment Service Center, under the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs. In addition to performing the functions and tasks as prescribed, from 2010 to present, the center has been assigned the additional task of training, introducing and supplying labor to domestic and foreign markets. From 2015 to present, the Center has introduced and supplied 11,383 workers; of which 1,263 people were introduced and supplied to the foreign labor market.
