HCMC’s vocational courses to provide workforces for smart agri-production
In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City will open vocational courses to train high-quality human resources for smart agricultural production and digital transformation in agriculture. After more than 10 years of implementation of the Project on Vocational Training for Rural Workers approved by the Prime Minister in 2009, Ho Chi Minh City achieved many important results when over 800,000 rural laborers received vocational training.
According to the assessment of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City, vocational training for rural laborers, especially in suburban areas, has been close to reality. The southern metropolis has about 800,000 trained rural workers and 85 percent of rural workers are employed. However, in the face of current competitive pressure, schools providing vocational training courses for rural laborers must change teaching methods to help rural laborers approach science and technology in production.
