In an article posted on the company’s official fanpage, the factory will hold at least two rounds of recruiting workers from June 11 to June 19, with the number of workers set to be recruited reaching the thousands. This marks the second Luxshare ICT factory to be run in Bac Giang province, after the factory located in the Quang Chau industrial zone.

According to recent recruits of Luxshare ICT, staff were trained to assemble wireless headsets and smart watches similar to Airpods and Apple Watches.

The monthly income of a Luxshare ICT worker is anticipated to be between VND9 million to VND14 million, of which the basic salary is VND4.8 million with the remaining income coming in the form of allowances for housing, meals, and overtime.

According to workers in the company, they receive approximately VND10 million per month as an average wage.

Luxshare ICT is one of the main partners that assembles Apple's Airpods, along with Goertek and Inventec.

Luxshare ICT factory in Bac Giang province has been continuously recruiting workers and engineers since the beginning of the year, with recruitment ramping up following the closure of Luxshare ICT’s factory in China due to the novel coronavirus.

According to sources from Japanese business publication Nikkei, factories based in the nation will produce between 3 to 4 million airpods during the second quarter of the year, with Luxshare ICT being one of the main partners in charge of these production activities.

Indeed, airpods have been assembled locally for some time already, with users of Apple forums discovering the words 'Assembled in Vietnam' on their Airpod Pros from mid-May.

According to the news site The Infomation, aside from Airpods 2 and Airpods Pro, Luxshare ICT and Goertek factories in the country may also produce AirPods Studio
