Through vocational classes, workers are equipped with the ability to practice a simple profession, with discipline and industrial style.
Ms. Ro Mah H'jeng shared: "In class, the teacher taught me how to grow clean, safe vegetables, without using harmful chemicals that affect consumer health. In the immediate future, I practice growing vegetables in my family's garden to serve daily needs; when conditions permit, I will expand the area to sell to the market, supplying clean agricultural products to restaurants and supermarkets.
According to a survey by the Duc Co Commune People's Committee, after receiving vocational training, many skilled workers have good income from work to stabilize their lives.

However, the most important thing after vocational training is that local Party committees and authorities need to have positive plans and support, creating conditions for workers. These can be policy capital sources, connecting product consumption markets, introducing jobs as well as attracting businesses to invest in industrial clusters and border gate economic zones in the area...
