The northern mountainous province of Yen Bai has attached muchimportance to vocational training and job generation for the local rurallabourers, as part of efforts to contribute to the on-going process ofnew-style rural development in Vietnam, radio The Voice of Vietnam (VOV)reported.
The Prime Minister has approved a project onvocational training for rural labourers from 2010 to 2020, which willprovide training for approximately 1 million rural labourers and 100,000officials and staff at the commune level.

Overthe past three years, Yen Bai province has provided vocational trainingfor 18,500 labourers, 32.5 percent of them from poor households.Vocational training classes focus on occupations like farming,agricultural processing, animal husbandry, brocade weaving, and garment.
T he selection of training is based on practical needs,forecasts of labour demand, and labour market changes. Effectivevocational training has improved living conditions, generated jobs, andboosted production, thus contributing to sustainable poverty reduction.
"Weused to focus on farm work. After being trained in construction, mybrothers and I have been able to earn up to 200,000 VND (10 USD) per dayand this has significantly improved our living conditions," said LuongVan On, a resident in Nghia Loi commune.
In addition tohaving nearly 300 teachers working at 29 vocational training centresacross the province, authorities have also recruited skilled workers andofficials from local agencies and companies in teaching.
