Directly following the 100% employment rate of graduate students in the same class, 30% work at the school gate, and the graduation class signs contracts with the same age group in the Lingang New Area | Mechanism | Lingang

In August 2019, the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone in China was unveiled on the banks of Dishui Lake; In the following month of the same year, at Shanghai Ocean University in Lingang University City, 2019 undergraduate students enrolled in the School of Engineering. Among them, the "19 Mechanism 2 Class" of Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation was officially formed.

Now, at the end of the academic year, this graduating class of the same age as the Lingang New Area has reached the deadline for submission. Among the 25 students in the class, 10 students passed the postgraduate entrance examination and were admitted to domestic and foreign universities; 13 students were successfully employed and signed contracts with leading companies in the industry; Two students are actively implementing their graduation plans, and some companies have offered them olive branches. In terms of employment rate, the "19 Mechanism 2 Class" has reached 92%, directly catching up with the 100% employment rate of the same major's 2023 graduate students.

Wu Haoyu

30% of the class goes to work at the school gate

Interviewed at the end of May and joined in early June. Riding a bike from the school gate to the company gate takes less than 20 minutes. In Class 2 of Mechanism 19, the implementation of Wu Haoyu's graduation destination seems to be a seamless transition, but in reality, it is full of consideration and decision-making.

I have interviewed a total of 10 companies, including Baoshan, Minhang, and Jiading... In order to find a job, I have visited them all one by one, and finally chose to work in Lingang. For Wu Haoyu, who is determined to work in Shanghai, his familiar surrounding environment, interesting industry content, young and dynamic work team, settlement, housing and other favorable policies in Lingang New City are all the "bonus points" he has rooted in Lingang.

Over the past four years, the entire class has witnessed the rise of the new city and grown together with this "future city". When choosing their first career stop, many students, like Wu Haoyu, choose to stay in Lingang, build Lingang, and work at the school gate. According to statistics, in Class 2 of Mechanism 19, the number of people who have signed contracts with employers near the port accounts for 30% of the total number of signed employment in the class.

"The apartment is right next to the company, with accommodation and subsidies, greatly reducing both economic and time costs, and a strong sense of happiness." Yuan Chenxi, a recent student who also signed a contract with a state-owned enterprise in Lingang, said that she and Lingang, this hot land, also have young capital. "I want to settle down here and have a longer-term development, and my parents are also very supportive."

"Kua Kua Qun" group members help and assist each other

Blossoming alone is not spring, why are everyone in this class active in employment? When it comes to the overall situation of the class, class monitor Yang Shangqing summarized it as follows: "Excellent academic atmosphere, good atmosphere, and high popularity.". "During our four years in college, our class has always had a good relationship and close communication. In addition to our daily notification group, there is also a 'Class 2 Praise Group' as the 'Internet Base'."

Yang Shangqing frankly stated that at the beginning of building a group, it was also following the trend of the internet. He hopes that through mutual praise and encouragement of "praising the group", everyone can get closer and maintain a harmonious relationship. Then, the function of "Kuakua Group" is no longer limited to the literal meaning. Sometimes it is used for data sharing, sometimes for information express delivery, and occasionally it is also used as a "Doutu" group, "roast" group, and "Shaker" group, connecting students' feelings.

"The group of friends never 'wake up and dream', and they are all 'pragmatic', which is really awesome." As one of the "pragmatic", Gong Hongyu, the branch secretary of the class league, has determined his job search goal from the beginning, and took the lead in signing a contract with a foreign enterprise during the autumn recruitment to determine his graduation destination. Compared to graduates who only started the job search trend in this year's spring recruitment, he has more experience and often helps classmates revise resumes and share interview tips.

Classmate Cao Jianlin is one of the "latecomers" among them. After going through the postgraduate entrance examination, Cao changed his direction in a timely manner based on his personal situation. At the spring campus recruitment fair, he received an offer letter from a state-owned enterprise on the spot and completed the signing. "Before going to the job fair, I consulted Secretary Hongyu and learned a lot of 'skills'. I never expected to be able to secure a good job so quickly!"

[Fresh graduate students achieve 100% employment]

The School of Engineering at Shanghai Ocean University regards high-quality employment as the "touchstone" to test the effectiveness of thematic education. In order to further shorten the "time gap" between classroom teaching and industrial development, the entire school actively promotes cooperation with enterprises such as Shanghai Huali Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Shanghai Dongfulong Technology Group Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Xinsong Robotics Co., Ltd., and solidly promotes a series of "introducing enterprises into education" projects and an integrated teaching model of "practical teaching graduation design pre employment".

Fan Yijun from Class 2 of Mechanism 19 is a member of the Huali Targeted Training Class. Last summer, she entered the company for an internship and practical work after passing an interview and physical examination. "My graduation project was all conducted in the company, with one supervisor from both the company and the school. The topic selection direction is closely related to the job content, and the process of completing the project went smoothly while working, collecting data, and learning. I feel that theoretical knowledge has a 'practical application'. After four months of internship, Fan Yijun decided to officially sign the contract." From the initial 'try it out' attitude to the final decision on the options, this employment path has gone very smoothly! "

"The college focuses on exploring and innovating the model of school enterprise cooperation, and fully promotes the construction of demonstration bases for the integration of industry and education. As of now, the 2023 graduate students majoring in mechanical engineering have achieved 100% employment." Yan Ping, Secretary of the Party Committee of the College of Engineering at Hainan University, said that this semester, the college's Party Committee led a team to visit more than 60 enterprises, and cooperated with multiple enterprises to jointly build and explore employment opportunities. Through visiting enterprises and expanding job opportunities, more than 20 graduates have been employed and nearly a hundred internships have been arranged.

The Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter learned that in order to promote the employment and entrepreneurship of graduates, the whole school continues to carry out activities such as entrepreneurship training camps, college student simulation interview competitions, and employment assistance camps. Sun Honggang, Director of the Employment and Entrepreneurship Service Center at Haidian University, said, "Draw a concentric circle for educating students, take multiple measures simultaneously, empower cohesion, use emotions with heart, and escort students to take the first step towards solid graduation and employment."
