Hoang Su Phi focuses on vocational training for rural workers

BHG - Identifying vocational training and job creation for rural workers as one of the important "links" in socio-economic development, in recent years, Hoang Su Phi district has implemented many solutions to improve the quality of local labor resources.

As a mountainous district with over 98% of ethnic minorities, the majority of people live in rural areas by farming; most people of working age have not received vocational training. In recent times, Hoang Su Phi district has actively surveyed and grasped the aspirations of workers, forecasted the job market, and opened vocational training classes suitable to local practical conditions. After being trained, many rural workers from poor households have found jobs and successfully escaped poverty, some households have a good income.

Students are awarded certificates upon completion of the residential electricity course.

Having attended a vocational training class on civil engineering, Mr. Lu Van Kim, Xin Chai village, Chien Pho commune, has gained more knowledge and skills to apply to his work. Mr. Kim said: “Before attending the class, I mainly worked based on experience, not mastering basic techniques, so sometimes the work was difficult and had to be repaired many times. After being trained properly, I am more confident in my work, ensuring that the works are of good quality, safe and more sustainable. In addition, I also have the opportunity to exchange and learn from the experiences of teachers and classmates, helping me to broaden my knowledge and have more relationships in the profession. From there, I have more job opportunities and a more stable income than before.”

Ms. Lu Thi Dau, Ngai Thau village, Thanh Tin commune said: “Previously, my family's income was mainly from rice cultivation, so it was quite unstable and the economy was not stable. After participating in a short-term training course on safe vegetable growing techniques organized by the district, I converted my family's 0.6 ha to vegetable growing. Up to now, my family has an additional income of about 20 million VND/year from growing vegetables such as cabbage, kohlrabi, and beans."

It can be seen that vocational training for rural laborers in Hoang Su Phi district has brought about practical benefits and effectiveness. Currently, the district has 48,464 people of working age. Identifying vocational training for rural laborers as one of the important solutions, contributing to the restructuring of the agricultural sector, the district has promoted propaganda, surveys, and built vocational training programs towards improving quality and efficiency, creating favorable conditions for workers to choose to study occupations that suit their needs.
