The western Qinghai Province suffered a downturn in coal and steel industries.
To combat the impact, the province mapped out a policy to urge vocational training for employees from enterprises facing shutdown and troubles. The employment subsidy fund and the finance department will provide training subsidy at 1.5 yuan (0.22 U.S. dollars) per hour.
Pan Li, vice director of Qinghai's employment department, said the policy would be in force for a year. The government would offer aid to troubled enterprises and called for no job cuts during this difficult period.
Shaanxi Province will also offer such free training to laid-off workers. Its capital city Xi'an will create more than 10,000 community jobs in 2009.
The eastern Fujian Province has rolled out plans to help graduates from poor families who had difficulty in finding jobs. Aservice center for human resources in Fujian, and Fujian University of Technology have decided to jointly spend 120,000 yuan to aid those graduates. The university has signed with more than 30 companies to establish internship base.
The provincial government will also conduct check-ups on enterprises which intend to apply for 20 job cuts at a time in 2009.
Jiangxi Province is set to provide migrant workers with free vocational training. As of Jan.1, 26,000 migrant workers were reemployed or started their own businesses.
