Training boosts job skills for Tibetan herders

LHASA－Wanglang, 41, used to eke out a living as a herder in the city of Nagchu, Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region, as he lacked basic work skills.

"I told the local officials who visited my family that I would like to learn some skills," he says. After completing training courses and exams, Wanglang finally received his welding certificate.

In 2018, he bought some equipment and opened his own welding workshop, which saw a turnover of 36,000 yuan ($5,545) that year.
