In 2021, the National Target Program for Socio-Economic Development in the areas of etnic minorities and mountainous areas was implemented in the district and opened a sewing class for the laborers, and Ms. Tam registered to attend. After 2 weeks of learning the basic sewing theory and practice on the industrial sewing machine, Ms. Tam was directly sent to Long Vien Co., Ltd. in Xuat Hoa commune, whcih specializes in the production of stuffed animals for vocational training. After a month of studying in the form of hands-on work, Ms. Tam was assigned to the sewing line and received a salary according to the product.

Thanks to that, I have a job and have an extra income” - Ms. Tam shares.
In the same course as Ms. Quach Thi Tam, there were 40 students from the poor households and mountainous ethnic minorities who were also accepted by Long Vien Co., Ltd. to work with an average salary of 3.5 - 4 million VND a person. A month. Long Vien Co., Ltd currently has 3 sewing locations, mainly located in the remote and far-away communes.

Ms. Bui Thi Thanh, the manager of Long Vien company says: The cooperation with the District’s Center for Vocational Education & Continuing Training can be said to be mutually benificial. For the company, we are beneficial in fact that the center has helped to screen and select the employees who have the need for vocational training and those are conscious and want to find a job. After that, the center teaches the theory, instructs the leaners the basic seams, when they enter the company, we just need to give some more instruction, and they can very quickly sew products.
Vocational training associated with job creation basing on the needs of businesses and workers is a way to open up many opportunities to escape poverty the laborers in the areas of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in Lac Son district.

As one of the first areas of the district to benefit from a vocational training program from the capital for the socio-economic development of the areas of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in 2023, Vu Ban town organized a technical class on raising chickens for more than 30 leaners. Ms. Bui Thi Huyen from Chieng Trao village, a trainee in the vocational training class says: Taking advantage of the large garden land, my family has built a model of raising free-range chickens. This is also a new model that my family starts building. Therefore, when I attended a training class on raising chickens for 3 months, my husband and I considered it as if we were both learning and practicing and applying it on our family's chickens. After studying, I found the knowledge really useful. Previously, I thought that raising chickens in the close-wind cycle could help to avoid diseases when the weather changed. Now, I have known that building and organizing more scientific barns can ensure the dryness so taht the chickens can grow up quickly, and at the same time it helps keep the environment clean.
