Provincial Steering Board for the Week for Young Workers has just organized a conference to review the results of the 2013 provincial Week for Workers and summer activities and define orientations for 2014. 

The program of “Vietnamese people give priority to using Vietnamese goods” brought Vietnamese goods to young workers during the 6th provincial Week for Young Workers

Going along with young workers

The 6th provincial Week for Young Workers took place from May 1 to 7, 2013. This program was organized under a big size at all levels with a lot of practical and diversified activities, absorbing the participation of 3,000 Youth Union members and young workers.

Many significant activities were organized during the week, including market-days of “bringing Vietnamese goods to rural areas” (or called “joyful market-days”), job festive days for youth, “Green Sundays”, gift visits to young workers with difficult circumstances, programs providing free medical check-ups and medicine for young workers…

Noticeably, the “market-day” program of “bringing Vietnamese goods to rural areas” drew more than 1,800 laborers, 1,440 of whom were directly interviewed by recruiters. Provincial Support Fund for Poor Alien Youth also awarded 48 support packages of VND48mln to young workers with difficult circumstances. In addition, provincial Youth Federation teamed up with provincial Young Physicians’ Club to provide free medical check-ups and medicine for young workers in Dau Tieng district’s Minh Hoa commune with a total expense of more than VND16mln along with many other significant activities.

The whole province is now home to more than 700,000 laborers, around two thirds of whom are young people.
