However, facing a huge shortage of digital talents, relying solely on university training is difficult to quickly meet market demand; At the same time, enterprises are also striving to cultivate digital talents, but the results are not ideal. Specifically, more than 70% of enterprises have increased investment in employee digital skill training, but problems such as insufficient systematization and specialization of training content, and high production costs of training content occur frequently.

Enterprises increase investment in talent cultivation, making digital skills a "hard currency" in the workplace

With regard to the digital skill certification obtained by job seekers, enterprises have a high degree of recognition for the industry level certification of leading "big factories" such as Huawei and Alipay, computer level certification and national vocational skill level certification. The proportion of enterprises that recognize these three items is 47.2%, 44.7% and 44.2% respectively. Industry level certification has a high level of industry recognition, and the national vocational skills level certification is also favored by enterprises due to its authority. In recent years, "big factories" have become industry benchmarks and have started to launch digital skills certification services based on their own technical experience, which have been continuously valued by enterprises.

Internet giants such as Alipay also launched Alipay skill certification this year. Based on leading digital technology and rich experience in business scenarios, they refined a set of digital skill certification systems and standards that can be learned, practiced and tested. They launched nearly 10000 people to participate in the certification exam only half a year ago, and obtained the qualification of professional skill level certification agency of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, further confirming the gold content of their certification.

Therefore, in recent years, Guangdong and Zhejiang have taken the lead in implementing the "one trial, two certificates" policy, which involves mutual recognition between enterprise certification and national vocational skill level certification. Skilled talents can obtain both enterprise certification and vocational skill level certification through one exam, and enjoy many favorable policies in terms of household registration and talent subsidies. Alipay and Huawei have become pilot enterprises of "one trial and two certificates" in Zhejiang and Guangdong, and the gold content and authority of "big factory certification" have been further recognized by the state.

Changxing Island in Chongming District has multiple medium to large residential areas with a large population and strong demand for real estate transactions.
