Applicants, who want to work in the RoK under the EPS programme, must pass the Korean language tests.

The exams will be held in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Vinh and Da Nang. The RoK is keen to recruit 5,000 workers in production, 2,000 in construction, 1,000 in the agricultural sector and 2,000 workers in fisheries.

Lee Myung-Hee, the General Director of the EPS Centre Vietnam, said that the questions will be kept secure in diplomatic bags and sent to the RoK embassy in Vietnam.

All test results will be sealed and sent to the RoK through the embassy, said Mr. Lee.

He emphasised that the RoK will arrange the staff to monitor the test, including 56 staff from the RoK Human Resources Development Agency, 380 teachers from universities, colleges and vocational training centres nationwide, 100 staff from Vietnam’s MoLISA and 80 volunteers from the RoK’s embassy and organisations working in Vietnam.

This is the 7^th time the RoK has held a recruitment test in Vietnam.
