Career consulting day held for street kids in HCM City
HCM CITY — Representatives of about 10 vocational training schools gathered in HCM City's downtown area last Thursday to offer career consulting and recruit street children for their courses. More than 30 young people with no stable employment were brought by some of their peers (acting in collaboration with NGOs who'd helped them earlier) to the meeting. The meeting aimed to assess which career each youth was suited for, and to have them register for free courses. The youth plied social workers with many questions relating to the courses and the support they would receive in taking them. Most of the street youth were keen on vocations like motorbike repairing and hair styling, as well as being part of the hospitality industry. The keen interest of street youth in bettering their lives could also be seen in the number of questions they raised about getting jobs after finishing the courses, financial support available to open their own businesses, or the personal papers that they … [Read more...] about Career consulting day held for street kids in HCM City
