Early this year, the Municipal Government of Shanghai staged “The Three-Year Action Plan for the Vocational Education of Suburban Laborers of Shanghai”, which has been listed into the “Ten Major Actual Deeds” of the Municipal Government of Shanghai in 2005. This action plan offers free vocational education services to local farmers in the suburbs of Shanghai in an effort to improve the technical skills of rural laborers and increase their competitive edge. So far, a total of over 160 colleges and training agencies specializing in vocational education have participated in this program and the goal of training 50 thousand farmers within the year has been completed ahead of the schedule. 26,150 of the trainees have been granted the certificate. 15,800 of them have found jobs, which make up 31 percent of the total number of the trainees.
