Farmers train for 2022 Games

Winter Olympics to boost demand for pastry cooks, ski-related skills

Farmers in Beijing's northwestern Yanqing district are attending occupational training classes, with support from the local government, so they'll be ready to help out during the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The district's human resources bureau said the plan is to train 100,000 people by 2022, at a rate of 20,000 a year.
