Vietnam Offers 9.6M Rural Workers Vocational Training in 2010-2020: MoLISA

More than 9.6 million workers in rural areas in Vietnam have been provided with vocational training courses over the past decade, as part of a project under the Prime Minister’s Decision 1956/QD-TTg, dated November 27, 2009, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs (MoLISA) said. Of the total trained workers, 65% selected non-agricultural occupations, while the remainders pursued agriculture courses to work in agriculture in a comprehensive way. Finishing the courses, more than 80% of trainees got new jobs or earned better incomes from their current jobs. In the 2021-2025 period, the ministry urged localities and vocational training establishments to carry out training courses in line with new-style rural building and digital transformation progress. Priorities should be given to rural workers who lost their jobs due to natural disasters or diseases and to those with disabilities, it said. (Ha Noi Moi, Hanoi Moi, en.Vietnam Plus, Bao Dan Sinh)
