Microsoft Helps Train Laid-Off Chinese Workers

Microsoft Corporation, together with the municipal government of Guangzhou, south China, started Tuesday to provide free job training courses to local laid-off workers.

Sources said this is the third time Microsoft has been involved in training laid-off workers in China. Previously, the software giant provided free training courses to laid-off workers in the coastal city of Dalian, northeast China, and Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

According to the sources, the present courses are aimed at helping 200 laid-off workers in Guangzhou master several skills each.

Microsoft will also train 40 computer teachers for the re- employment training program.

Guangzhou began to provide various types of free training courses to laid-off workers in 1999, and has since trained some 170,000 people, of whom 60 percent have already been re-employed.
