China encourages retired military officers to start their own businesses via online training

by Swati on December 30th, 2011

China has launched an Internet-based employment training system for retired army officers, Yin Weimin, the country?s Minister of Human Resources and Social Security tells People?s Daily, China?s leading news website .

The system targets retiring high-ranking officers who prefer to start their own businesses or finding employment on their own, instead of taking offers to join governmental agencies or public institutions. A significant amount of retirement payments and systematic employment training is provided to the officers who choose not to take up positions in governmental organizations.

Over 40,000, or 95 percent, of those who retired this year had received training through this system, while more than 116,000 officers have launched their own businesses, backed by this initiative in the last ten years, since the introduction of this program, the report claims.

The news of China using Internet for training comes as a surprise, since the country is often making headlines for adopting stringent ways of censoring information on the Internet.
