Vocational trainees find good jobs

Most of the trainees at vocational education centers in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have graduated from the centers and have started to play a positive role in the society, Xinjiang officials said on Tuesday.

The centers aim to help people who have been influenced by terrorism and extremism understand their mistakes and the possible public harm they could cause, they said.

"Many people have found suitable jobs that they like after graduation and begun to have considerable income. Furthermore, they have also been helping others to pursue a better life," said Shohrat Zakir, chairman of the regional government. He spoke in Beijing at a news conference on Xinjiang's development held by the State Council Information Office.
