The Ministry of Labor has launched a service center dedicated to the
retention of skilled migrant workers.

Labor Minister Hsu Ming-chun says the center is meant to "provide a one-stop
service to enable the speedy processing of administrative paperwork for
employers, employees and labor brokers."

The center is located in Hsinchu County which, along with Taoyuan, has the
largest number of migrant workers.

During the opening ceremony, the labor minister said the center will also
provide in-person workplace consultations, and one-on-one counter and
telephone services.

The Ministry of Labor say the Long-term Retention of Migrant Workers Service
Center supports the government's policy of seeking to keep migrant workers
employed in the manufacturing, construction, fisheries, care work, and
agricultural sectors.

Data shows that as of the end of November, the government's long-term
retention program has continued the employment or upgraded the status of more
than 21 thousand migrant workers.
