Free vocational training

"Local government of Shigatse city provides free vocational training programs to us as a poverty alleviation project. We can learn different, useful skills; those that will help us get jobs, from cooking, tailoring, to construction."

According to Samdrub Tsering, three of his villagers who took two 60-day cooking courses, opened restaurants in the Namling county in 2018.

"Over the years, their annual family income is between 20,000 yuan and 40,000 yuan," said the 35-year-old.

Samdrub Tsering is learning to drive a truck at a driving school, and he has passed the first two levels' exams of the 4-level course.

"My plan is to get the truck driver's license as soon as possible, so that I can find a truck driver's job on a construction site. This way, I can get a better salary," Samdrub Tsering said.
