One million farmers to receive vocational training
Vietnam’s ministries are developing a project to provide vocational training for one million rural workers by 2015, which Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan described as having great social significance.
At a meeting in Hanoi on March 11, Mr. Nhan said that the details still need to be worked out but that Vietnam should attempt to train 300,000 labourers per year from 2009 and then gradually raise the figure over the next few years.
He stressed that the project must take into account mountainous nature of some provinces - where most of the ethnic minority people live - and also to pay attention to training domestic staff up to international standards so they can work overseas.
It is hoped that the project will be the catalyst in the building of a high-skilled labour force that is able to industrialize and modernize the agricultural sector and rural areas in general.
Under the project, people will be trained to work in the agriculture and rural services sector or to become communal civil servants.
The project will target workers aged between 16 and 55 who have a need for vocational training and qualify for specific courses such as cultivation techniques, animal husbandry and veterinary services.
