Apart from classes on hotel and domestic services, the 45-day course will also offer special classes, for instance, classes on how to be successful in one's career, said Yu Hai, headmaster of the Xinxing Skill Training School in Lhasa.
The classes are expected to improve trainees' overall quality and help them learn comprehensive skills, thus enhancing their job-seeking ability.
"I thought it wouldn't be a problem for me to find a good job as long as I had a secondary technical school diploma," said Losang Drolma, a trainee at the ceremony to mark the opening of the course.
"But when I began looking for jobs I got to know that most employers preferred to hire those mastering more than one skill and with a higher overall quality," she continued. She graduated from her school six months ago, and yet so far she has failed to find a proper job no matter how hard she tries.
As more and more rural residents flock to cities in quest of jobs, the population of young and middle-aged people takes up an increasingly bigger ratio to the total workforce, according to Zhou Yuming, director of the Employment Service Bureau of the Lhasa City.
The population is becoming a major component in the course of building China's new countryside, he added.
When the course is over, Lhasa's Labor Bureau will work with the training school to arrange jobs for the trainees in order to make sure that the employment ratio will exceed 95 percent.
