The objective of this study is to find out the reasons why former Vietnamese technical intern trainees tend to choose workplace relating to Japan and keep using Japanese language even after they came back to Vietnam. Taking Vietnamese current socio-economic situation into consideration, I conducted semi-structural qualitative interview to 4 former technical intern trainees, and text data were analyzed with M-GTA method. Research shows that there is a high tendency that former technical intern trainees don’t choose jobs in which they can use their skill and knowledge that they learnt from their work experiences in Japan, but they would rather utilize their Japanese language instead to get themselves whatever jobs they like in social situation where human resource with Japanese language skill is in high demand in current Vietnamese labor market.
