According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), industrial machinery mechanics, machinery maintenance, and industrial mechanics professions are projected to grow by approximately 13% between 2024 and 2034, exceeding the average for all occupations. Each year, about 54,200 positions in this field require recruitment, primarily due to manufacturing expansion, automation, and the need to replace retiring workers.

Recognizing this trend, Newland USA expanded its consulting and application services for EB-3 skilled workers visas for industrial maintenance professions. This initiative helps Vietnamese technical workers access long-term work and residency opportunities in the US.

Newland USA emphasizes that maintenance technicians not only repair equipment malfunctions but also perform preventive maintenance, diagnose machine conditions, and resolve technical issues to minimize production downtime.

Many Vietnamese workers have acquired these skills through their experience in industrial parks and manufacturing enterprises. Newland USA highlights that demonstrating competence through a professional profile aligned with US employer requirements is crucial, not just having experience.

For industrial maintenance roles, the positions Newland USA connects typically target candidates aged 25-50 who are in good health. Applicants should have a minimum of three years of practical experience in maintaining, repairing, and operating machinery systems. A college or university degree, or formal specialized training of three years or more, is also required.

The estimated annual income starts from 45,000 USD, along with potential benefits. These benefits may include: health, dental, and vision insurance, group life insurance, a US 401(k) corporate retirement fund, workers' compensation insurance, paid leave, and support for training or professional certification exams. Specific benefits vary depending on the employer and the particular job position.

According to Mr. Chau Tam Luan, founder and General Director of Newland USA, many Vietnamese technical workers possess specialized expertise that meets international market demands. However, they often lack access to the correct pathways to utilize these skills abroad.

Mr. Luan shared, "EB-3 Skilled Trade America (ESTA) is not a new visa category or immigration program from the US government. This strategic project, developed by Newland USA, is based on the EB-3 skilled workers platform. Our goal is to help skilled Vietnamese individuals recognize their professional value and connect their expertise with actual recruitment needs in the US."

Newland USA states that ESTA aims to help workers continue developing in their accumulated expertise, rather than starting over in jobs unrelated to their experience. Beyond industrial maintenance, the company also offers EB-3 programs for other technical professions, such as automotive repair and maintenance, and various manufacturing industries that align with current US recruitment needs.

During the program, participants receive updated information on the US labor market, recruitment criteria, application conditions, processing costs, and the employment-based immigration pathway for the entire family. Additionally, Newland USA's professional team conducts a preliminary assessment of each application's suitability and directly answers questions related to the program.
