Original title: How to make college graduates go from "getting jobs" to "higher quality employment"

"My job objective is to work in finance and taxation in state-owned enterprises or firms, and I have just consulted the employers about the future development direction, specific job requirements and other issues." On May 17, at the Beijing Tianjin Hebei special recruitment meeting of the 2021 University Graduates Employment Promotion Week, Xiao Su, a master's degree graduate from the Central University of Finance and Economics, has submitted more than ten resumes this morning.

"During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the employment scale of college graduates will continue to increase, new forms of employment will emerge in large numbers, the 'Internet+employment' model will be widely used, and the market-oriented and socialized employment work system and mechanism will be further improved. We should face the opportunities and challenges directly, and promote the quality and efficiency of the employment work of college graduates." Minister Chen Baosheng said at the launching ceremony of the Employment Promotion Week.

In the face of the new situation, the reporter interviewed how various departments and schools will comprehensively implement policies to let college graduates not only "get jobs", but also "get jobs of higher quality".

   Deepen school enterprise cooperation and improve supply and demand matching

"We have signed strategic cooperation agreements with 16 colleges and universities in the early stage, and 1458 graduates of 2021 have been recruited." On May 17, the Ministry of Education held a school enterprise supply and demand matching meeting in key fields at China Agricultural University. Xu Chunxia, vice minister of the Human Resources Department of COMAC, held talks with some colleges and universities representing the equipment manufacturing industry. At the docking meeting, more than 120 enterprises in 18 key industries, including energy and power, materials and chemicals, and equipment manufacturing, had in-depth discussions with representatives of nearly 60 colleges and universities around joint talent training, employment practice training, and graduate recruitment. A number of universities and employers have initially reached cooperation agreements in different forms, such as talent recruitment and co construction of student internship bases.

Wu Aihua, deputy director of the Department of Students of the Ministry of Education, said that he hoped to build a supply and demand docking platform for both schools and enterprises in key areas and establish a long-term mechanism for docking and cooperation between schools and enterprises through this docking conference. "Next, the Ministry of Education will further promote universities and employers in key fields to carry out online matchmaking activities, promote universities to carry out colorful employment education activities, and encourage college graduates to engage in employment in key fields."

It is worth noting that the National College Graduates Employment and Entrepreneurship Steering Committee (hereinafter referred to as the "Steering Committee"), which was set up at the same time as the Employment Promotion Week, also provides new opportunities and opportunities for promoting school enterprise cooperation and school career convergence. Qu Wenqian, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University and Chairman of the Water Conservancy and Ecological Environmental Protection Industry Committee, said, "The water conservancy and ecological industry is a relatively traditional industry, and we hope to establish closer ties with relevant enterprises. I think the establishment of the committee has built a bridge and link to connect talent cultivation with the job market and posts, so that students can find the right units and employers can find the talents they want, so as to achieve a better match between the two. "

"The in-depth cooperation between schools and enterprises has opened up demand and supply, realized the" seamless connection "between the talent training of schools and the talent demand of enterprises, and effectively improved the adaptability of talent training." Chen Feng, secretary of the Party Committee of China University of Petroleum (Beijing), said.

   Strengthen school local cooperation to let students know about front-line and grass-roots posts

"When I was an undergraduate, I often heard the touching deeds of the youth lecturers group of the Western Plan. Especially in my sophomore year, I followed the college to carry out poverty alleviation research in Enshi, Hubei Province, which made me realize that I still have to accept more hardships at the grass-roots level. So when I graduated, I chose to join the Western Plan and work as a volunteer teacher in Xinjiang." Wang Yiwei, a volunteer of Huazhong Normal University's 2019 Volunteer Service Western Plan, introduced the origin of his choice of teaching support.

To make students decide to go to the grass-roots level and the west, we must let them really know what the grass-roots work is like. During the activity of this employment week, the reporter learned that through more and more close school ground cooperation, students have more and more opportunities to experience at the grassroots level during the semester.

Shaanxi Province has established employment alliances for teachers' colleges and private colleges to explore markets in Xinjiang and Tibet, established employment strategic alliances with cities (prefectures), county education departments, and primary and secondary schools in Xinjiang and Tibet, organized graduates to practice in Xinjiang, Tibet, and other places, and further explored employment opportunities in key industries, regions, major projects, and modern agricultural industrial parks, We will strengthen employment guidance and services for graduates, and help them become familiar with the policies for employment and entrepreneurship at the grassroots level in the west. In recent years, nearly 4000 graduates have been sent to Xinjiang and Tibet every year.

Colleges and universities are also creating opportunities for students to get to know the situation at the grass-roots level. China Agricultural University has carried out a variety of professional values theme education activities, and strengthened the employment theme of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" in classroom education links such as situation and policy courses and career planning courses, and enriched grass-roots and "agriculture and related industries" employment education cases. The College of Humanities and Development has also established a rural revitalization research institute and a social practice base throughout the country in accordance with the "six in one" talent training model to cultivate students' feelings of taking root at the grass-roots level through the cooperation between colleges and local areas. Li Yumei, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the college, introduced that the school comprehensively guided and helped graduates to go to the grass-roots level for employment from four aspects of policy publicity, platform building, skill training and inheritance, and held an experimental class for training targeted transfer students through school local cooperation. Up to now, we have cooperated with 30 provinces to select and transfer special talents. Over the past five years, more than 1000 graduates have participated in the student selection program, and the number of students selected for transfer has increased for eight years.

   Promote training with employment and establish a demand oriented talent training model

Qu Wenqian observed that in recent years, in addition to several traditional central enterprises and institutions such as design companies, design institutes, engineering bureaus, etc., students majoring in water conservancy and ecology also choose new business types such as digital and intelligent enterprises, tourism, real estate and other industries. In Qu Wenqian's view, the feedback from the job market can fully provide a basis for school enrollment, training program reform, and curriculum system adjustment. "We will make statistics on the demand for future jobs through research. In the future, the school can provide reference when determining the enrollment scale of relevant majors. Each major can also adjust the curriculum in a timely and flexible manner, and incorporate cutting-edge production technology and relatively cross disciplinary knowledge into the curriculum, so that students can better adapt to the development of new economy and emerging industries."

"Employment is a kind of market behavior. Graduates with strong ability and high quality are more likely to win in the job search. At present, there are some problems in colleges and universities to varying degrees, such as unscientific specialty settings, training programs divorced from the market, and emphasis on theory rather than practice. The gap between graduates' competency and employers' expectations has become an important factor restricting college students' employment." Wang Zhanren, vice president of Northeast Normal University and professor of the Ideological and Political Education Center, "In the future, colleges and universities should follow the market, closely follow the development of the industry, adjust the specialty setting and training objectives in real time, set the lever with the export deciding the entrance as the specialty, keep pace with the times in terms of system mechanism, evaluation method, teaching staff, curriculum system, and teaching mode, and constantly strengthen the pertinence, openness, effectiveness, and innovation of college education and teaching, and constantly cultivate a consistent New talents required by new industries and emerging fields. "

Qu Wenqian also said that, as for individual students, they should prepare for future employment. During school, they should not only study their own professional knowledge, but also make full use of resources to improve their ability. "The posts in the water conservancy and ecological industries used to have no problem as long as they learned professional knowledge and engaged in design, manufacturing and construction. But now enterprises can use digital, intelligent and information-based tools in management, so they need to have knowledge reserves for computers, artificial intelligence, databases, search engines, software, etc. They also need to integrate into and understand the society in their work, so they also need to It is necessary to dabble in management, sociology and social survey, and have the ability of teamwork and communication, so it is necessary to comprehensively improve the knowledge structure and comprehensive quality.
