Implementation of 1956 vocational training project for the rural labour in Quang Binh

Abstract

Over the past 10 years, the province of Quang Binh has more than 125,000 workers in rural areas that have participated in vocational training programs, of which nearly 38,000 was trained according to the primary policies of the Project, entiled "Vocational training for rural workers by 2020". Nearly 80% of post-program workers acquired jobs that play important roles in building new rural areas and reducing background poverty. To evaluate the training for rural workers within the framework of the Government's 1956 project in Quang Binh province, this article analyzes and assesses the execution status, results and effectiveness of the implemented project. Descriptive statistics and the time series comparison methods will be used for this research. The results indicate that the number of female rural workers attending vocational training every year, although predominantly short-term training, outnumbered that of male workers. The available jobs are far from abundant, mainly based on pre-existing jobs in the locality. Vocational programs targetting poor households, near-poor households, etc has not been given due attention. Overall, the probability that post-vocational training rural workers find jobs became considerably high.
