Ms. Do Thanh Binh, Deputy Head of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Phu Luong district, Thai Nguyen province, said: In recent years, in order to provide vocational training for rural workers in accordance with the needs of the people, occupations suitable to the strengths of the locality and with the planning of production development, socio-economic development as well as the planning of new rural construction, Phu Luong district has issued documents guiding the survey and forecasting of vocational training needs and occupations in need of training of rural workers.
On average, each year, the District has over 2,000 workers participating in vocational training classes, with priority given to workers in rural areas, ethnic minorities and households in difficult circumstances. Since the beginning of the year, the District has provided vocational training to nearly 600 people, of which over 70% are ethnic minorities and the poor.
Some occupations that are frequently chosen by workers are: Chicken and pig farming techniques; veterinary; agricultural machinery repair; tea growing; safe vegetable growing; household electrical repair; applied informatics... Vocational training forms are also diversified, from concentrated training at vocational training facilities to mobile training in hamlets and communes. Thanks to the active implementation of vocational training, each year, Phu Luong district creates jobs for about 3,000 workers.
According to Ms. Do Thanh Binh, vocational training for rural workers is being gradually innovated. Vocational training methods and forms are shifting towards taking learners as the center, integrating knowledge, skills, and professional working style to form vocational capacity for learners; promoting positivity, proactiveness, creativity, and application of knowledge and skills of learners.
Previously, the family of Ms. Tong Thi Uyen, a Tay ethnic (in Xuan Truong hamlet, On Luong commune, Phu Luong district, Thai Nguyen province) was among the poor households in the commune for many years. Their main income came from farming and small-scale livestock raising. Although they worked hard, due to a lack of livestock and farming techniques and a lack of the right direction in economic development, their annual income was only 10 to 15 million VND.
With the attention of local authorities, especially On Luong commune, Ms. Uyen was able to participate in the vocational training course "Raising and preventing diseases for chickens". Ms. Tong Thi Uyen shared: During the course, I was trained by the commune's agricultural extension officers and teachers, guided on the process of building and cleaning barns, techniques for selecting breeds, caring for and preventing some common diseases in chickens... From the knowledge and experience shared by officers and teachers, practical guidance during the course has helped her family's livestock farming have many positive changes, especially when the weather changes, diseases are easily spread in livestock, she has applied the knowledge and skills learned to proactively prevent and treat diseases with the best results.
After attending this useful class, I started to apply the knowledge I had learned into production. Whenever I had any difficulties, I asked the Commune officials. Thanks to that, up to now, my family's chickens are healthy, growing and developing well. At this rate, when this batch of chickens is sold, I will invest in a new batch of chickens to have more income.
Similar to Ms. Tong Thi Uyen, Ms. Ma Thi Tuyen (residing in Cay Thi hamlet, On Luong commune, Phu Luong district, Thai Nguyen province) is also one of the active students of the vocational training class "Raising and preventing diseases for chickens". Ms. Tuyen shared: At the vocational training class, I learned a lot of useful knowledge in poultry farming. Thanks to the flexible application of knowledge in practice, at the end of April 2024, my family sold a flock of 500 chickens and is preparing to raise the next batch of chickens.
According to Ms. Tuyen, the local government regularly pays attention to and grasps the vocational training needs of the people, especially poor and near-poor households, and coordinates to open short-term vocational training classes according to the motto "hand-holding and showing how to do things", thanks to which, I have gained more knowledge and skills and gradually escaped poverty.
Ms. Phan Thi Mai Thuong, Chairwoman of the Women's Union of On Luong Commune, Phu Luong District, Thai Nguyen Province, is a lecturer of the vocational training class "Raising and preventing diseases for chickens". She shared: Opening vocational training classes for workers in rural and mountainous areas to help them improve their knowledge and skills to be proactive and proactive in effective production is very necessary.
The vocational training class where she is a lecturer has 35 students, all of whom are ethnic minority workers. The training class lasts for 3 months and 80% of the time is for students to practice. In addition to being equipped with basic knowledge about the process of raising, preventing and treating diseases in chickens and hatching chicken eggs, students practice in the classroom and family models on techniques of building barns, nutrition, hygiene and disease prevention procedures for chicken flocks, recognizing and treating some common diseases in chicken flocks, etc.
Thus, promoting vocational training support associated with job creation for ethnic minority and mountainous people has significantly contributed to changing people's awareness of vocational training. Vocational training is always carried out in a diversified manner, meeting learning needs and creating the most favorable conditions for people. Thereby, it has helped rural workers gradually improve their qualifications, creating favorable conditions for accessing models and projects for production development.
After completing their studies, many students join production groups, such as: bamboo and rattan weaving production group, conical hat production group; some students open their own restaurants and eateries to serve tourists and local people...
In 2024, Phu Luong district will continue to focus resources, including disbursing and guiding poor households to use investment capital to develop their family economy effectively, on the basis of integrating agricultural extension and vocational training programs that have been and are being implemented. The entire district strives to reduce the number of poor and near-poor households by 400-500 this year, while effectively maintaining investment projects to support poor households, ensuring improvement in people's quality of life, preventing re-poverty and creating sustainable livelihoods.
More than 30 thousand workers in the mountainous district of Bat Xat received vocational training.
