The Ministry of Labour, Invalids Social Affairs (MoLISA) and Japan’s International Manpower Development Organisation (IM) on August 7 signed an agreement on training needy Vietnamese youths.


Under the agreement, free training programmes will be organised in Vietnam for young people from poor families or households entitled to social welfare policies.


To be eligible for the programmes, beneficiaries should be from 18-25 years old and only for junior high school graduates.


They will also be provided with free accommodation and meals during the training. Those pass the final exam will be granted certification, and can participate in the Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP) for Vietnamese apprentices in Japan.


The IM has raised JPY15 million (US$154,000) for the programme this year.


Vietnam and Japan has been implementing the TITP for Vietnamese apprentices in Japan since 2005. However, participants are required to have at least graduated from senior high school, thus disqualifying many poor young people in rural and mountainous areas.
