Q: If a senior foreign worker wants to find a new employer to be hired as an intermediate skilled worker, who should they seek out for assistance?

Answer:

(1) Senior migrant workers who are eligible for an upgrade to intermediate skilled worker status can visit the “Foreign Worker Employer Transfer Section” on the Ministry of Labor’s Foreign National Labor Rights Portal. This section is available in five languages (Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Tagalog, and English) and provides information that includes contact details for employers looking to employ intermediate skilled workers, work locations, work categories, work descriptions, and labor conditions. Workers can independently search for suitable employers and proceed with a mutually agreed tripartite (or bipartite) employment continuation transfer, or seek assistance from a public employment services agency in facilitating a new employer and senior foreign worker upgrade to an intermediate skilled worker position and continued employment.
(2) In addition, foreign workers can contact the 
Long-term Retention of Migrant Workers’ Service Center, Direct Hiring Service Centers, or call the 1955 Labor Consultation Hotline for information related to intermediate skilled work. They can also visit the “Retention Program for Intermediate Skilled Foreign Workers” information page on the Foreign National Labor Rights Portal for further details.
