(HBO) - Providing vocational training and improving the quality of human resources is one of the policies carried out by provincial Party committees and administrations at all levels in Hoa Binh province, aiming to promote socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited areas. Despite facing difficulties due to the unfavourable terrain and limited knowledge, many localities have carried out vocational training combined with job creation, bringing positive results.




A welding class in Thong Nhat commune, Lac Thuy district.

Thong Nhat, a remote commune in Lac Thuy district, has more than 70% of its population are ethnic minority people. It is home to five extremely disadvantaged hamlets.

Implementing socio-economic development policies for ethnic minorities and mountainous areas, the commune has coordinated with relevant agencies to open many vocational training classes for rural workers. Priority has been given to poor, disadvantaged and policy-beneficiary households. Three vocational training classes were organised by the commune this year, attracting more than 130 labourers.

Bui Van Huan, Vice Chairman of the Thong Nhat Commune People's Committee, said that welding and industrial sewing are selected for vocational training because there are many enterprises that want to recruit workers with welding skills in the locality. There are three garment factories that are in need of female workers, thus the commune proposed the district Centre for Continuing Education and Vocation Training to organise classes to create employment opportunities for workers, ensuring that they will get jobs after completing their training.

Improving the quality of vocational training in association with job creation and helping people secure a sustainable livelihood, is also the target of the district in this regard.

Dang Thi Vy, Deputy Director of Lac Thuy district’s Centre for Continuing Education and Vocational Training, said before opening classes, it conducted surveys on the demand of enterprises and labourers. After collecting data, the district coordinated with enterprises to develop plans and carry out on-the-spot vocational training. Five classes have been organised by the centre so far.

Da Bac district has allocated 1.4 billion VND (59,550 USD) for holding 17 training classes for ethnic minority people under the socio-economic development project in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for the 2021-2025 period.

Dinh Thi Nam, Head of the Division of Ethnic Minority Affairs of Da Bac district, said that the district has many potential and advantages for tourism development, especially community-based tourism. To improve the quality of human resources for the development of the tourism industry, it has offered training in such professions as tour guide, cooking, and brocade embroidery.

In line with the National Target Programme on Socio-economic Development in the ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous area for the 2021 – 2025 period, the province aims to fulfill the target of about 63% of labourers of the working age will receive proper vocational training that is suitable to their aspirations and living conditions.

To this end, the provincial People's Committee has directed departments, agencies and People's Committees of districts and cities to promptly develop plans and carry out vocational training programmes for workers in the ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas.

Attention will be paid to dissemination and providing counseling for ethnic minority people in selecting occupations that are suitable totheir conditions and capacity.

Along with supporting costs for vocational training and changing occupations for households and ethnic minorities, the province will continue to have mechanisms to encourage businesses, cooperatives, and establishments to recruit workers that have undergone training./.
