Supporting workers to establish themselves and their careers
Mr. Hau Seo Sa (born in 2004), from M'Drak district, is an ethnic minority from the north who settled in Dak Lak province. Mr. Sa's family is in a difficult situation.
In this context, Mr. Sa decided to go to vocational school to quickly gain professional skills and find a job to earn money to support his family. After being trained in construction at the Center for Vocational Education - Continuing Education of M'Drak district, Mr. Sa had a fairly stable job.
"I followed local contractors to undertake some construction projects in the district. My daily income is about 300,000 - 400,000 VND, enough to support myself and have extra money to take care of my family" - Mr. Hau Seo Sa said.
After finishing high school, Ms. H'Lan Ksor (M'Drak district) did not choose to go to university or college but chose to learn a trade locally. For Ms. H'Lan, choosing to learn a trade is considered the brightest solution to soon promote the family's economic development.
After 6 months of sewing training, Ms. H'Lan has mastered the job. Currently, Ms. H'Lan is fully capable of finding a job or opening her own sewing shop to develop her career and generate income for herself.
Not only the above cases, through practical research, it is shown that many other young people in M'Drak district have chosen to learn a trade to improve their skills and soon establish themselves and start a career.
The priority choices of the male labor force in M'Drak district are animal husbandry, farming, and basic construction. Women prefer to choose garment and farming jobs...

Need to increase investment and upgrade infrastructure
Sharing about the unit's infrastructure, Mr. Trinh Cong Tien - Director of the Center for Vocational Education - Continuing Education of M'Drak district - frankly shared: "In order for vocational training to be organized systematically and effectively for poor workers and ethnic minorities, the support of authorities at all levels is very important".
According to Mr. Tien, in the coming time, the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Dak Lak province and the People's Committee of M'Drak district need to continue to effectively implement mechanisms and policies to develop vocational education and vocational training for priority people in the district.
In particular, increasing investment in vocational training, focusing on retraining and regular training for young workers to create strong changes in the scale, quality and efficiency of vocational education.
According to Mr. Tien, the most important thing to do now is to promote information and propaganda, creating a change in awareness and social consensus on the development of vocational education.
Developing vocational skills for young people and workers requires mobilizing the participation and resources of the whole society, especially businesses, in vocational training for local people.
"Hopefully, local authorities will continue to stabilize the organization, diversify occupations and investment resources, and ensure the improvement of the quality and efficiency of occupations.
Thereby, promoting the development of vocational training institutions with autonomous capacity, effective operation and creating all favorable conditions for people to have more opportunities to learn a trade to prepare for their own life and career.
