"There are more than 7 million college graduates every year, and the overall employment rate is relatively good. But when you tell college students that the employment situation is very good, many students may not agree, and the employment situation of some people does not fully meet their wishes." Huang Dekuan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former president of Anhui University, told reporters.
Review of this year’s government work reportMentioned at work in 2016, "Employment growth exceeded expectations. In 2016, 13.14 million new jobs were created in cities and towns. The number of college graduates seeking employment and entrepreneurship reached a new high." The "2016 Chinese College Student Employment Report" released by the Max Research Institute showed that the employment rate of college students in 2015 was 91.7% six months after graduation, which was basically the same as the 92.1% in 2014 and 91.4% in 2013.
From the data point of view, the employment rate of college students is not low, but the society is still filled with the atmosphere of difficulty in finding employment.
In Huang Dekuan’s view, the employment of college students has shown hierarchical characteristics in recent years.“With good universities and good majors, students will have no problem finding employment. Graduates from some key universities still have many opportunities to choose. Some majors with stable social demand do not have difficulty finding jobs.”
“Actually, it’s not that it’s hard to find a job, it’s that it’s hard to find a good job.” After a semester of struggling to find a job, Shen Min, a senior at Wuhan University, couldn’t help but sigh. In her view, you can basically find a job after graduating from a university, but it is difficult to be satisfied with the salary, working environment, and nature of the work. “Jobs within the system often have low wages, and companies with high wages are unstable.”
According to Huang Dekuan’s observation, the employment pressure for college graduates is greater in some higher vocational colleges with relatively low education quality.“Graduates’ employment satisfaction is relatively low.”
In October 2015, the Ministry of Education issued the "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance on Guiding the Transformation of Some Local General Undergraduate Colleges and Universities into Application-oriented Colleges and Universities", proposing to promote the organic connection between local general colleges and universities and secondary vocational and junior college-level higher vocational colleges. In response to the problem of employment difficulties for college students, Ge Jianxiong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at Fudan University, has been calling for many years. In an interview with reporters, he said that colleges and universities are now divided into application-oriented and scientific research-oriented. To solve the employment problem of college students, the quality of running schools in application-oriented colleges should be improved and the practicality of these majors should be strengthened to make it easier for college students to find the right jobs.
"National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan Outline (2010-2020)” proposed that the national higher education gross enrollment rate should reach 40% in 2020. Ge Jianxiong believes: “We should not advocate that everyone should go to college, but young people from every class should have a way out. ”
After a year of searching for a job, Jiang Feng, a senior student at Guangdong University of Technology, concluded that the most important thing when finding a job is to calm down.“There is always a gap between reality and ideals. When looking for a job, you have to worry about where to settle and whether to buy a house. If you have too many ideas, it will be difficult to choose, and you will not be able to find a job. ”
Wang Cizhen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also suggested that young people should open their horizons about employment and be able to let go. They should not have too high initial employment expectations and dare to start from the grassroots and gradually achieve their goals through hard work.
Nowadays, some young people take the initiative to choose not to be employed or to wait for employment because they are not satisfied with their employment. This move is controversial. Huang Dekuan believes that certain space should be given to college students who are waiting for employment:“I believe that more post-90s generation are positive and they should be given space to develop themselves or look for entrepreneurial opportunities. As long as they actively choose this approach, don’t worry, society and families should be more tolerant.”
Wu Hong, deputy to the National People's Congress and vice president of South China Agricultural University, thinks it is a good idea to solve the problem of employment“System engineering” requires “the contribution of the whole society”. In his view, this not only requires schools to add more practical ability training to the original university curriculum system, but companies should also be more patient and spend time retraining college students. Students themselves should work hard to learn professional knowledge and skills.
Regarding employment and entrepreneurship, Li Yining, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a famous economist, gave a message to young people in an interview with reporters:"The endless road ahead depends on your patience, perseverance and wisdom."
