The locals here now have better
awareness of the importance of vocational training, after the hamlet’s Party
cell teamed up with members of the local youth and women’s unions to persuade
people to participate in vocational training courses at the community learning
centre.
After each course, the hamlet
reviewed individuals’ performances and awarded those with outstanding results.
As trainees of the courses have
effectively applied what they learnt during the courses in practice, more and
more people have enrolled.
Besides the courses held by Chieng
Chau commune, Chieng Chau hamlet itself has organized two training courses
providing legal knowledge for people aged above 15 years old.
Thanks to such effort, more than
200 labourers in the hamlet have received short-term training. The hamlet has
been able to establish a brocade weaving cooperative with 20 workers, a
10-worker group of brick production, a community-based tourism site employing
10 locals, five carpentry groups with 60 labourers and a number of cooperative
groups in construction, mechanical engineering, motorcycle repair and rice
husking.
The revival of traditional brocade
weaving not only creates jobs for the locals but also helps with the
preservation of local cultural identity.
This year, income per capita in
the hamlet reached 22 million VND per annum and the household poverty rate
reduced to below 7 percent. Now, all households have access to clean water and the
national electric grid and 90 percent of them own a motorcycle. Over 90 percent
of roads here have been concreted./.
