In recent years, Pailou Township of Anren County has made efforts to build employment-assistance workshops based on local industries and resources, enabling more villagers take up jobs at their “doorsteps.

It is a hive of activity at the workshop of Honglian Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in Shankoupu Village.
“I used to work outside, but I came back for my kids. I work at the factory now and it’s a good job for me because I can take care of my children and earn a salary,” said a villager from Shankoupu Village.
He Hongjian, the head of the company, said: “The company mainly produces transformers for electrical equipment. There are currently 25 stable employees, and more than 50 workers at its peak. We have solved the employment problems of left-behind women and vulnerable villagers nearby, with a per capita monthly income of about 3,000 yuan.
At the Renbang Electronics factory in Shuikou Village, Zhang Zhilin, the technical advisor of the company, was busy doing product drawings with CAD. He grew up in the village and has a deep affection for his hometown. When he heard that an employment assistance workshop was built in his hometown by chance, he felt happy for the development and changes in his hometown and he also had a strong desire to go back to his hometown. So he gave up the opportunity to develop in a big city.
Finally, with solid professional knowledge and unremitting efforts, he became the technical advisor of the company, achieving a new leap in his personal career development and contributing to the revitalization of rural industries.
“I didn’t have time to take care of my parents before due to my work. But now I am able to do it while working at my doorstep with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan,” said Zhang Zhilin.
In recent years, Pailou Township has innovated employment assistance models based on its own reality. Through government guidance, enterprise participation, and social collaboration, various “micro factories” such as electronic component factories, clothing factories, and food processing factories have been established in villages. These factories provide employment opportunities for villagers at their doorsteps and allow them to be able to care for their families and increase their income.
As of now, there are 10 rural revitalization workshops in the township, with a cumulative investment of 21.18 million yuan and the annual output value of 33.8 million yuan. These factories have provided jobs for 358 people and helped them increase the monthly income of about 4,000 yuan.
