(25-8-15 14:5)

Editor's note: The rapid development of Suzhou High-tech Zone has made countless people. In the process of farmers' transformation into citizens, high-tech zones not only make farmers lose their jobs and money, but also share the fruits of the development and construction of high-tech zones through a series of measures, such as free training, promoting employment, guiding entrepreneurship and improving security. This newspaper will launch a series of reports "from farmers to citizens" from this issue.

Zhou Quanying, a 45-year-old landless farmer in Mabang Village, Fengqiao Street, now works as a domestic servant for seven families, earning more than 1, yuan a month, which she said is the benefit of attending the training. In the past, Zhou Quanying also worked as a housekeeper, but some employers asked her for a job certificate. She didn't, and she lost many opportunities. By attending the "Home Economics Training Course" held by Fengqiao Street Adult Education Center, she not only obtained the "Home Economics Attendant's Job Certificate", but also learned many tricks to do a good job in home economics. Zhou Quanying said happily, "Now I am faster at home economics than others. Generally, I can do a good job in three hours in more than two hours. Please invite me. Like Zhou Quanying, Zhu Yinge, Gu Youlian, Li Jianmei and other landless rural women in Fengqiao Street have improved the level of domestic service by participating in the "foreign domestic service training class" and started to serve foreign families, with higher income.

in recent years, while vigorously promoting the strategy of "starting a second business", high-tech zones insist on helping landless farmers find employment as a practical project, which has promoted the harmonious development of regional economy and society. In October last year, the High-tech Zone issued "Several Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Employment of Land-lost Persons" to encourage employers to recruit land-lost farmers. The Opinions stipulate that "employers who recruit' 3,545' personnel for employment, sign labor contracts with them for more than two years, and participate in social insurance as required, will be given comprehensive subsidies according to the standard of 5 yuan per person per year." At the same time, a post contribution award is also set up. The reward conditions are: "In that year, more than 2 local land-lost farmers were recruited, and they signed labor contracts for more than one year and participated in social insurance according to regulations. The management Committee and the district government awarded the trophy of' Promotion of Employment Contribution Award for Land-lost Workers' and awarded a bonus of not less than 2, yuan." By improving the supporting policies, a good environment has been created for the employment of landless farmers.

In view of the fact that landless peasants have low education level, single labor skills and lack of awareness of employment competition, the High-tech Zone stipulates that all newly-generated landless laborers (men aged 16 to 45 and women aged 16 to 35) must first participate in employment guidance training, including legal knowledge, employment policy guidance, professional ethics education, safety production knowledge, etc. After passing the training, they will be issued with a Land Acquisition Training Certificate and an Employment Registration Certificate. In 24, more than 11, landless peasants completed employment guidance training, and in the first half of this year, 5,916 landless peasants received this training. On this basis, the High-tech Zone has also actively carried out vocational skills training. In the first half of this year, 45 landless farmers were trained in various towns and villages in the region. Fengqiao Street Adult Education Center was approved by Suzhou Labor and Social Security Bureau as the first batch of rural labor force training base in Suzhou. This year, it has held six skills trainings such as domestic service, accounting, forklift driving, etc., especially the water and electricity maintenance class. 35 trainees have become "hot items" for employers, and the employment rate has exceeded 5% within one month after the training. The office automation and computer intensive classes run by Dongzhu Town have also achieved good results. All these trainings are "paid" by the government, and landless farmers do not need to pay a penny.

The High-tech Zone has established labor security offices in all towns and villages under its jurisdiction, which have been included in the financial budget, thus solving the funding problem. Recently, the District Labor and Social Security Bureau issued letters of appointment to 139 full-time (part-time) labor and social security coordinators in administrative villages (communities), and initially established a network for promoting employment and reemployment throughout all administrative villages and communities in the region. Through this network, the collected information about vacant posts of enterprises can be released in time, and the employment recommendation of land-lost farmers can be actively done, which provides a fast track for promoting the employment of land-lost farmers. All towns and villages have adapted their measures to local conditions and tried their best to recommend and help landless farmers find jobs. Fengqiao Street has formulated a government plan to buy jobs. This year, the "45 Employment Assistance Fund" was established with 1.5 million yuan. At present, the employment rate of landless farmers in this street reaches 73.1%. Taking advantage of the energy advantages close to Suzhou Steel Works and Baohua Group, Hengjin Village of Hushuguan actively introduced private supporting enterprises and absorbed nearly 2 laborers in the village. The town's Baowei Village, with the opportunity of the large-scale supermarket of China Resources, recommended land-lost farmers to take up their posts as much as possible. At present, 2% of the employees of China Resources Supermarket are from Baowei Village; Tongan Town Labor and Social Security Institute actively contacted Huatong Garden and other property companies, and successively recommended more than 2 landless farmers to take up security and cleaning posts in the community, and also recommended 18 people to the town's municipal management service company; Hengtang Street gave full play to the advantages of Suzhou International Education Park and Jinwu Decoration City, and made efforts to contact and coordinate with employers. In the first half of the year, * * * recommended 235 landless farmers to achieve employment. In addition, high-tech zones and towns and streets under their jurisdiction often hold special employment sessions for landless farmers to bridge the gap between landless farmers and employers. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, 4,234 land-lost farmers in high-tech zones achieved employment, which has achieved 76% of the annual target. (Shen Yiming)
