The constantly emerging new professions undoubtedly bring new opportunities to college students' employment. Many new professions have high average salaries and flexible working methods, which have become new tracks on the way to employment.

"More than a dozen teammates in my entrepreneurial team are young people, and we finally have a professional identity, which is undoubtedly good news for the development of the research field," said Wang Xingyu.

New occupation leads the new direction of young people's employment

Professor Li Chang'an from the National Institute of Opening up to the Outside World, University of International Business and Economics, said in an interview with the reporter from the China Youth Daily, China Youth Network, that the new career publicized this time objectively reflects the latest development of the economy and society as well as people

We pursue new demands in the process of high-quality life. Many new occupations have great attraction for college students and become new directions and guidelines for college students' employment.

According to relevant statistics, from 2019 to 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, together with relevant departments, released four batches of 56 new occupations. At present, these new occupations have been included in the newly revised and publicized Occupational Classification Code of the People's Republic of China.

Li Chang'an said that in recent years, China's new economy and new business forms have developed rapidly, and many new employment forms have given birth to new jobs.

Wang Xingyu and several partners founded the rural note taking research project in 2017, which implemented the social practice part of the school curriculum through experiential learning, and brought urban children to the countryside to study. He and his team took the children back to Mr. Shen Congwen's rural collection route, and also cooperated with rural theatrical troupes in Shandong to learn opera and singing. "So far, I and my research travel team have led more than 5000 urban children to study in the countryside, and also funded more than 1000 rural children to come to the city to experience all walks of life".

"The new occupation helps to establish industry norms and service standards. When the research travel agent starts to focus on the research itself, education and tourism can be more organically integrated, and practitioners can also participate in the iterative updating of the industry in a more orderly manner." Wang Xingyu said.

Many young people are interested in the new prospects of their new careers

According to the information from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, many new professions are digital professions born in the development of the digital economy. The "data security engineering technicians", "digital solution designers", "database operation administrators", "information system adaptation verifiers", "digital twin application technicians", "business data analysts" and "agricultural digital technicians" that have been publicized to the society for this time They all have the distinctive characteristics of digital careers.

Meng Tao, president of Midea Building Science and Technology Research Institute, believes that the job responsibility of digital solution designers is to use the new generation of information communication technology and digital technology, design digital business scenarios and business processes, and propose and formulate technical solutions for digital project architecture. However, the digital solution designer is a work with complex skills, which requires more experience in practice and project implementation.

For example, he said that for elevator maintenance in buildings, from background monitoring to abnormal data, it is necessary to accurately analyze the problems and send orders to the corresponding maintenance workers through mobile phones. "This job can't simply rely on training for quick success, and some have to work in other positions for many years." Meng Tao said, "This new digital challenge is attractive and challenging for young people."

Among the new professions announced this time, there are also some new professions bred in the new stage, new concepts, new patterns and the need to adapt to the people's better life. For example, in order to meet the individual needs of the vast number of tourism consumers, the home stay industry is booming, and the new position of "home stay housekeeper" has achieved a leap from "0" to "1 million" in just a few years.

The reporter of Zhongqing Daily, Zhongqing. com, learned from Zhejiang Tourism Vocational College that all the 30 students who just graduated from the home stay management direction class this year have successfully found jobs. At present, home stay housekeepers are in short supply.

Among the new jobs publicized by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, "home stay housekeeper" was declared by Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, which is the first time in China to declare in the name of the people's government at the county level. Today, Deqing County has 4000 home stay housekeepers, and Moganshan Resort alone has nearly 900 home stay. Liu Jie, deputy director of Moganshan Home stay Housekeeper Training Center, said that the development of the home stay industry has encountered many new problems in recent years, and the bottleneck restricting the development of the industry is the talent factor, so he had the idea of applying for the new career of "home stay housekeeper".

Liu Jie said that at present, the average number of new B&Bs in China is about 10000 every year. Even during the three-year epidemic period, there are 6000 new B&Bs every year. Assuming that only 3-5 housekeepers are needed for each home stay, there will be a demand of 18000-30000 housekeepers every year.

A number of new green jobs emerged under the requirements of the carbon peak and carbon neutrality development goals are also attracting attention. New jobs such as "carbon sink measurement appraiser" and "comprehensive energy attendant" have emerged as the times require. In the opinion of Zheng Jing, director of the Carbon Trading Special Committee of Shandong Circular Economy Association, the career prospect of carbon emission manager is very good, and carbon neutrality will be a key work in the coming decades. "Many young people see the prospect of this profession and want to join it."

Zhang Yi, professor of Zhejiang Tourism Vocational College, believes that the new occupation brings diversified employment channels, which is the product of the continuous development of society, and puts forward new requirements for the talent cultivation of the school. "Although every new occupation has a long way to go from publicity, release to market application, it needs to be polished and tested for a long time to establish a vocational education system for talent selection, training and certification," said Zhang Yi.

Skills training for new occupations and new formats is in full swing

The emergence of new professions is not strong, and various trainings are also in full swing. In July 2021, the China Employment Training Technical Guidance Center of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly launched the new vocational online learning platform version 3.0.

As of October 2021, the number of new vocational online learning platforms undertaking new vocational learning has reached 9.18 million, with 27.74 million learners, of which the number of "digital managers" learning certification has exceeded 2.4 million.

Lu Ronghua, a 2019 student of Shenzhen Polytechnic, successfully built an OA approval process application with low code on the first day of the digital manager training course. At first, she thought that "programming and code are very advanced things that can only be mastered by students majoring in computer science." Lu Ronghua worked hard and loved to study. After the training, she successively obtained the junior and intermediate certificates of digital manager. After graduation, she returned to her hometown in Yunnan and successfully joined a technology company in Kunming at the beginning of this year, with a monthly salary of 10000 yuan.

"It is my dream to help more local enterprises in Yunnan realize digital transformation," said Lu Ronghua.

It is understood that for the current huge new job market, all regions are actively preparing skills training related to new jobs. During the "14th Five Year Plan" period, Liaoning Province will carry out about 1.5 million person times of subsidized vocational skills training for all kinds of urban and rural workers, and extensively carry out skills training for employees in new occupations and new business types.

The relevant person in charge of the Department of Vocational Capacity Building of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security introduced that, in the next step, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security would work with relevant departments to organize the development of new vocational standards and guide training institutions to carry out training according to national vocational standards. At the same time, we will actively and steadily promote social evaluation, and the evaluation agency will issue certificates to the qualified personnel according to relevant regulations.

Li Chang'an pointed out that bringing these new professions into the newly revised "The People's Republic of China's Occupational Classification Code" has positive significance for regulating the training market for new professions. The new occupation can play a role of career guidance, so that college students who are interested in the new occupation can do a good job in career planning and solve more employment problems from a long-term perspective.
