Many rural workers in Phu Tho, after vocational training, have proactively created jobs, no longer dependent on small-scale production, and their income has gradually improved.
Mr. Bui Van Sang (Nat Son commune) said that he used to do agriculture, so his income was unstable. After participating in a vocational training course in animal husbandry, he applied new techniques to chicken farming, expanded production scale, and each year brought in a stable income of nearly 100 million VND.
Similarly, Mr. Ha Duc Binh (Kim Boi commune) shared that after graduating from high school, he chose the construction profession. Previously, he mainly worked as a construction worker, but after being well-trained, he mastered the technique and his skills improved. Currently, he can organize a group of 8-10 workers himself, receiving construction and small repair projects in the locality.
Reality shows that vocational training helps workers change their thinking, boldly invest in production and proactively look for jobs.
According to data from Phu Tho province, the rate of trained workers who have jobs or create jobs themselves is over 80%. This result comes from innovating training content in a practical direction, increasing practice time and linking it to actual needs.
The network of vocational education institutions has been gradually strengthened, and training occupations are increasingly diverse. Institutions organize many intermediate and elementary classes, focusing on fields with high labor demand.
In the agricultural sector alone, in the period 2021-2025, the whole province organized 881 training classes for rural workers, including 407 cultivation classes; 426 livestock classes; 48 aquaculture classes, with more than 25,600 participants.
Classes are organized flexibly, many classes are opened right at the grassroots level, creating favorable conditions for people to participate. After learning, people can immediately apply them to production, contributing to improving the quality of agricultural products and economic efficiency.
The training content is also adjusted in a practical direction, increasing the practice time, linked to businesses and local needs, helping farmers access new techniques and improve productivity.
Through training, many workers have changed production methods, applied scientific and technical advances, developed household economy and gradually increased income.
However, some difficulties still exist such as small-scale production, limited access to capital, and unsustainable product consumption linkages.
In 2026, Phu Tho will continue to expand the scale of vocational training at both intermediate and elementary levels, prioritizing industries serving agriculture, rural industry and services.
Along with that, the province will review and rearrange the network of training institutions in the direction of streamlining, increasing investment in facilities, vocational training equipment and promoting links with businesses.
Counseling and career orientation will also be focused on to help workers choose a career that suits market needs.
With synchronous solutions, vocational training for rural workers in Phu Tho is expected to continue to improve positively, creating sustainable jobs, improving the quality of human resources and promoting economic development in rural and mountainous areas.
