Nghi Loc: 21/23 over-age leaders of the Youth Union were assigned to other jobs

(Baonghean) -For quite a long time, finding an "outlet" for the over-age Youth Union Secretaries of communes and towns has been a "difficult" problem in Nghi Loc district. But up to now, most of the Youth Union leaders after the age of 35 have been transferred and assigned to other jobs.

The regulations of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union clearly state: Commune and town Youth Union cadres holding positions must not be older than 35 years old. However, after many Commune Youth Union Congresses, many cases have "exceeded the age limit" but still have to continue to be arranged to be Commune Youth Union Secretaries. After the Commune Youth Union Congress, term 2012 - 2017, the whole Nghi Loc district still has 5 cases.

Nghi Loc District Youth Union Secretary Nguyen Thi Le said: "In the face of the reality that there are many cases of people 35 years old or older who still have to continue to be assigned as Commune Youth Union Secretaries, the District Youth Union Standing Committee has proactively reviewed and promptly advised the District Party Committee Standing Committee and Organizing Committee, and at the same time coordinated with grassroots Party committees to have directions for work arrangements for Youth Union cadres."

With this advice, the Standing Committee of Nghi Loc District Party Committee has directed the Party Committees of communes and towns to re-evaluate the quality and capacity of the current Youth Union staff to supplement the planning for positions of Party Committees, People's Councils and People's Committees accordingly.

To ensure the conditions for rotation, the district Party Committee and government have paid attention to the training of professional qualifications and political theory for union cadres. The Nghi Loc District Party Committee and People's Committee have created conditions for the district's Economic and Technical Vocational College to cooperate with the University of Economics - Hue University to open a university class in Agricultural Economics for 64 cadres planning for key positions at the commune level, mainly union cadres.

In addition, based on the planning, the communes have proactively introduced union cadres to take exams to study at universities and centers in the direction of diversifying their expertise to facilitate the arrangement and assignment to positions later. Every year, the district also allocates budget to organize training courses on youth work. Based on the planning, each year the district Party Committee arranges 10-12 union cadres to attend intermediate political theory classes at the Provincial Political School.

With that preparation, in conjunction with the District Party Congress for the 2015-2020 term and the consolidation of the positions of the People's Council and People's Committee, the District Party Committee has focused on directing localities to arrange 3 Commune Youth Union Secretaries to the position of Deputy Party Committee Secretaries, 4 cases to become Vice Chairmen of the People's Council, 3 cases to become Vice Chairmen of the People's Committee, and 4 cases to transfer to other organizations.

Notably, for the first time, the district coordinated with the Department of Home Affairs to transfer 6 commune and town Youth Union Secretaries to professional civil servants with suitable titles such as: Accounting, Justice, Office - Statistics. As in the case of Mr. Nguyen Dinh Minh, during his time as Nghi Phong Commune Youth Union Secretary, he completed a Law University course at Vinh University. After 10 years as a Youth Union leader, in February 2017, he was transferred to work as a judicial civil servant of this commune.

Up to this point, the grassroots Youth Union organizations in Nghi Loc district have completed the Congress for the 2017-2022 term. After the congress, the whole district has rotated 20 commune and town Youth Union Secretaries. Among them, the Nghi Thuan commune Youth Union Secretary, although still old enough to be re-elected after the congress, has been rotated to become an accountant of the commune People's Committee.

There are currently 4 cases that are over age but still have to continue to be re-elected as Secretary of the Commune Youth Union, namely Nghi Khanh, Nghi Thai, Nghi Hung and Nghi Phuong. These cases are also only arranged to be Secretary of the Youth Union for a short time, so the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee directs the communes to coordinate with the congresses of the remaining mass organizations, perfecting the key positions to arrange and assign these cases appropriately. Accordingly, 2 communes: Nghi Khanh, Nghi Thai have had directions to arrange and rotate for the Secretary of the Youth Union in the coming year 2018.

Although not all have been resolved, the number of 21/23 Commune and Town Youth Union Secretaries who must be transferred after the congress has been and will be arranged and assigned to new positions, which is a great effort of Party committees at all levels and Nghi Loc District Youth Union.

That has relieved the insecurity of the over-age Youth Union Secretaries, and at the same time is a source of encouragement for the young generation of Youth Union cadres to strive and contribute to the Youth Union movement.
