Dr. Yutthana Sritabutr, Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the Minister of Labour, revealed that the Minister of Labour prioritizes creating opportunities for Thai workers to work abroad, thereby increasing family income and contributing to the national economy. Today, the Ministry of Labour has arranged for 112 Thai workers to be sent to work in agriculture in Israel under the Thailand-Israel Cooperation on the Placement of Workers (TIC) project. These Thai workers will work for agricultural employers to gain agricultural experience, which can then be used to develop Thailand and establish their own businesses after the contract ends. The employment contract is for two years, with the option to extend for another 3 years and 3 months, for a total of 5 years and 3 months.

“I urge all of you to work diligently and responsibly, abide by the laws and culture of Israel, and avoid drug use, alcohol, and gambling of any kind. Importantly, plan your savings to ensure you have income to send back to Thailand to further your careers after the contract ends. I wish you all success, a smooth and happy time working abroad, and good health.” "And have a safe journey," said Dr. Yutthana.

Mr. Sonthaya Kalasri, Inspector General of the Department, stated that the Director-General of the Department of Employment assigned him to join in sending off and encouraging Thai workers who will be traveling to work in the agricultural sector in Israel. All Thai workers traveling abroad will receive pre-departure training from the Department of Employment to prepare them. This ensures they have the knowledge and understanding of the employment contract terms, working conditions, customs, culture, and traditions, as well as information on how to seek assistance, their rights and benefits, and legal protections for job seekers. This will enable them to work with confidence and be fully prepared.
