Bringing these changes, the Science Popularization V "Ji Thirteen" has been rated high! Beijing Professional Title Reform Talents | Professional Titles | Changes
In Beijing, the mode of professional title evaluation is changing. In the past, the hard indicators of English, computer science, and academic papers in professional title evaluation have limited the development of talents. In 2018, Beijing implemented the requirements of the central government's deepening of the reform of the professional title system and began to establish classification evaluation standards and mechanisms that meet the characteristics of different talents. In five years, Beijing has successfully completed the implementation measures for the reform of 25 professional titles in higher education institutions, including teachers, engineering and technology, economics, and journalism, involving more than 1100 professional titles and majors.
The baton has changed, and there has been a gratifying change in talent evaluation, with more talents standing out.
"Ji Thirteen" was awarded a senior professional title
People who follow popular science are definitely familiar with the name "Ji Thirteen". Ji Xiaohua, formerly known as Ji Thirteen, founded a number of popular science brands such as Science Squirrel Club and Guoke Net, making the previously "cool" popular science knowledge full of wit and excitement, and popular among young people.
"When doing science popularization work, it is necessary to frequently communicate and connect with experts and scholars in the industry, and there is still a strong demand for professional titles." In 2019, Ji Xiaohua saw a news in a newspaper: Beijing has added a professional title for science communication for the first time, and research scholars, science popularization book authors, science popularization columnists, off campus science popularization education teachers, museum interpreters, and others at the Science Popularization Institute will all have professional titles to evaluate in the future! Ji Xiaohua's eyes lit up and he immediately started preparing.
Ji Xiaohua joined the representative work review "Reform East Wind" and, without a single paper, successfully passed the review with his outstanding science popularization articles, works, and achievements in conducting science popularization activities. He was awarded the first batch of senior professional titles in science communication in Beijing and became a "research librarian". Under his leadership, more than 20 members of the team have been awarded scientific communication titles. When participating in academic activities, experts and scholars recognize them more and collaborate more smoothly.
Not only scientific communication, but also artificial intelligence, technology brokerage, digital editing... In the past five years, this city has focused on the construction of international science and technology innovation centers and national cultural centers, and has successively added 9 new professional titles. As of now, more than 1500 people in this city have obtained professional titles in technology brokerage and intellectual property; More than 200 people have obtained professional titles in artificial intelligence; More than 700 people have obtained professional titles in scientific communication; More than 3900 people have obtained professional titles in anime, gaming, and digital editing.
Blue collar workers break the norm and become senior engineers
In 2020, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security held a symposium to explore the issue of integrating the career development of high skilled talents with professional and technical talents. High skilled talents from companies such as CRRC Group, State Grid Electric Power, and Beijing Benz gathered together, and "Elevator Doctor" Tao Jianwei was also invited to participate.
"A room full of skilled experts, senior technicians enjoying special allowances from the State Council, and leaders of national master studios... Everyone has made great contributions to society, but because we are workers and not professional technicians, if we want to take the professional title exam, these master level people also have to start from the lowest level of assistant engineers. It will take at least 10 years to get the title of senior engineer. I am very dissatisfied - why?"
As Tao Jianwei said, blue collar workers also have an urgent desire to evaluate their professional titles. That year, Beijing introduced a policy that not only allowed high skilled talents to be awarded professional titles, but also made exceptions! Tao Jianwei immediately applied through the unit and skipped the intermediate level, directly applying for senior engineer. "I have presided over and completed the elevator support tasks for many major events, such as the APEC Conference, the the Belt and Road Conference and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics Preparatory Meeting; the team has successively completed more than 40 scientific research achievements, including 2 national invention patents, 7 utility model patents, 4 software copyright registrations, and 5 provincial and ministerial level awards..." Tao Jianwei is full of confidence with these achievements to declare. At the defense site, the reviewing experts asked him four questions and he answered them fluently.
"Hey, there!" In 2021, just after the New Year, Tao Jianwei was awarded the title of Senior Engineer in Electrical Engineering.
This is a deputy senior professional title, and Tao Jianwei is not satisfied. He has started preparing for the application for the full senior professional title in 2025. "I just want to give a voice to skilled talents, set a example, and show everyone that we workers can also become engineers!"
Not only can blue collar workers be rated as advanced, but high-end leading talents also have a "direct train". As long as high-end leading talents have outstanding performance, they are not limited by education, qualifications, etc. They use performance statements instead of thesis defense and directly participate in the evaluation of senior professional titles. As of now, 1014 people from Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, including Shao Feng, Lei Jun from Xiaomi Technology, and Zhou Hongyi from 360 Technology, have obtained senior professional titles through direct transportation, mainly distributed in high-precision and cutting-edge industries such as information technology, biomedicine, new materials, new energy, and high-end manufacturing.
30 year old teachers can now be rated as senior teachers
"The new policy has arrived, Teacher Ma can now be rated as a senior student!" Cui Sen, the principal of Hancunhe Middle School in Fangshan District, who just received a phone notification, was even happier than Teacher Ma himself. Beijing has just issued a notice on further strengthening and improving the work of professional titles and related supporting measures, which includes a policy of "targeted evaluation and use" of professional titles in the education and health fields below the district level. Senior positions will not occupy a proportion of professional and technical positions, and will be inclined towards rural schools, special education schools, and township health centers.
"It's not easy. The title of senior teacher is deserved by Teacher Ma Haiying. She has been rooted in the mountains for more than 30 years and has worked diligently. However, due to the merger and acquisition of the school, the senior title indicators of the teachers are insufficient, and we haven't been rated as senior for six or seven years." Cui Sen told reporters that Teacher Ma Haiying teaches Chinese and has always served as a homeroom teacher. Her teaching is rigorous, her skills are excellent, and she is deeply loved by teachers and students. In three more years, Teacher Ma should retire. If it weren't for the timely implementation of policies, Teacher Ma would have been a "first-class teacher" until retirement. "We haven't started applying yet, and it's expected that summer vacation will begin. There are still 15 teachers in our school who meet the criteria for advanced evaluation." Cui Sen said, which is a great encouragement for teachers who are rooted in the grassroots.
The pace of professional title reform has not stopped, and the "baton" of talent evaluation will allow every capable and accomplished person to receive appropriate evaluation and play a motivating role. On June 14th this year, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security issued a notice on further strengthening and improving the work of professional titles and related supporting measures, and the reform of the professional title system will be further promoted in depth. Establish a professional title evaluation program based on the characteristics and key industrial chains of this city; Further expand the autonomy of unit personnel and delegate the power of professional title evaluation; Targeted evaluation and use of professional titles in the education and health fields below the district level; Adopting a "one matter, one discussion" and "one person, one policy" approach to directly apply for senior professional titles for high-level and urgently needed talents... The evaluation environment for the growth and role of talents in professional titles is getting better and better.
