URUMQI, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will train more than 320,000 farmers during the slack farming season from October to April 2016, local authorities said Tuesday.

Surplus rural labors who are willing to seek employment in towns and cities can participate in the six-month training which involves language and working skills, such as decoration, vehicle repair, dress making and hand knitting, according to the regional department of human resources and social security.

After training, they are able to work in factories and enterprises in coastal provinces, or find a job in local plants, restaurants and hotels.

Yang Fuqiang, an assistant researcher with the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, said addressing employment of the autonomous region's surplus labor is key to Xinjiang's social stability and economic development.

As part of efforts to address poverty and improve people's livelihood, Xinjiang provided job training for more than 420,000 farmers last year.
