Connecting Campus to the "Last Mile" of the Workplace Universities | Business District | Campus
"The biggest fear in job hunting is not having much interview experience, not understanding the relevant legal provisions in labor contracts, and falling into contract traps," said Chen Peifeng, a 2023 graduate majoring in Logistics Management at Zhejiang University of Technology. Not long ago, she signed up to participate in a series of lectures on labor law practice organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources Service Association. The lectures were very good, and she was able to learn practical knowledge such as precautions for labor contract signing. After listening to the lecture, she found a job through the job search record of the director unit of the Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources Service Association.
"The offline service desk has a dedicated webmaster who helps job seekers one-on-one," said Chen Hongfei, founder and CEO of Zhaoji. Zhaoji has set up an offline business district recruitment station in shopping malls, providing recruitment, consultation, interview companionship and other services. It has settled in more than 160 business districts in 11 provinces, serving 200000 job seekers and 30000 stores. This year, it has helped tens of thousands of college students find jobs, and Chen Peifeng is one of them. He is also a beneficiary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' "Accompanying Growth and Social Organizations to Assist College Graduates in Employment Action".
In May of this year, the General Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a notice on doing a good job in the employment of college graduates with social organizations in 2023, carrying out the "Accompanying Growth and Social Organizations Assisting College Graduates in Employment Action", promoting social organizations to build employment docking platforms, and assisting college graduates in employment.
Carrying out training on labor laws and regulations to help graduates prevent "cat tricks" contract traps, creating model workers and craftsmen innovation studios to play a "mentoring" role, and promoting precise employment through school enterprise cooperation... Recently, reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network visited multiple social organizations such as the Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources Service Association and the Hangzhou Entrepreneurship Development Promotion Association to visit them on site and help college graduates find employment.
Escort Graduates' Last Mile of Employment
"There are quite a few job positions in job search, and it is difficult to find so many business district recruitment information solely on one's own." In Chen Peifeng's view, reliable employment services are particularly important for college graduates.
Entering the workplace from the campus, Lu Han, a 2023 graduate of the Animation major at Zhejiang Media College, felt a bit anxious and confused. Upon learning that a classmate had found a job through job hunting, he went to seek advice with a trial and error attitude. "With their guidance, my employment strategy has become clear, and I can consult them if I encounter any problems in the future," said Lu Han. With the help of job search records, he is about to embark on his ideal job position, hoping to gradually accumulate work experience and realize his entrepreneurial dream.
On the business data big screen of the "Business District Recruitment Station" in job search records, you can see real-time updates on the number of positions, number of interviewees, number of employees, and other information every day. Zhang Xinyi, the owner of Gongchen Business District Recruitment Station, said that recently they will provide employment guidance, interview skills guidance, and other services to more than 10 job seekers every day. "We need to ensure that the information between merchants and job seekers is true and reliable, and 'tailor' according to the needs and characteristics of each job seeker.".
Job Seeking Record is an innovation of the Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources Service Association in helping college graduates find employment. The president of the association, Yuan Zhongwei, introduced that the association has held 10 sessions of the China Human Resources Service Expo, creating a digital platform for college student employment and recruitment, and building a window for college students to understand the job market; Participated in the "Jianghe Huicai" and "Yiye Qiantang" projects in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, and provided detailed strategies for free youth talent stations and talent transfer apartments for college students from other provinces who came to Hangzhou. This can help them save more than 3000 yuan in accommodation costs.
Taking multiple measures to build a "bridge" for employment
Holding a mouse and staring intently at the computer to write project proposals... Zhang Chiyu, who had just graduated from Zhejiang University with a major in law, joined a technology company in July thanks to the "Falcon Plan" launched by the Hangzhou Entrepreneurship Development Promotion Association in collaboration with dozens of institutions such as Zhejiang University's School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce.
According to Zhang Jialin, Secretary General of the Hangzhou Entrepreneurship Development Promotion Association, the "Falcon Plan" invites chairmen and well-known entrepreneurs from Fortune Global 500, China's top 500 private enterprises, and listed companies to serve as mentors for practical growth of college students. Every year, about 500 college students enter positions such as senior management assistants for internships in mentoring companies.
"The 'Falcon Plan' has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of enterprises and clarify my employment direction through practice. Before graduation, Zhang Chiyu and his entrepreneurial mentor conducted in-depth exploration on the direction of empowering Chinese culture with artificial intelligence applications.". After graduation, Zhang Chiyu joined the entrepreneurial mentor team and formed a new project team with him, focusing on the development of natural language models for applications in social games, international dissemination of Chinese culture, and other scenarios.
In mid July, at the launch ceremony of the 2023 "Falcon Plan" internship program held by the Hangzhou Entrepreneurship Development Promotion Association, Chu Xumin, Deputy Director of the Zhejiang University Student Entrepreneurship Development Center, and Yang Pan, representative of the mentor, presented certificates to the "navigators". The "navigators" are all students who have entered the mentor company through the "Falcon Program" in the past. They regularly hold career development lectures to answer questions and doubts for new students.
Navigator Liu Man is a full-time Master of Philosophy and Aesthetics from Zhejiang University in 2019. In her first year of graduate school, she joined the mentor group led by Xu Xiaowei, the chairman of Qicai Group, through the "Falcon Plan". From participating in weekly meetings to practical business, and then to providing one-on-one tutoring when encountering industry problems that she did not understand, Xu Xiaowei taught Liu Man hand in hand. After graduation, Liu Man officially joined Qicai Group and has now grown into an assistant in the group's community planning and research. "The 'Falcon Plan' cultivates a fertile ground for youth innovation, and I believe many students have found answers here when they are confused," Liu Man said.
At present, the Falcon Program has more than 200 practical mentors, cooperates with more than 200 well-known universities, connects with more than 500 enterprises, serves more than 1200 young people in employment and entrepreneurship, and assists about 10000 college graduates.
Creating a "fast lane" for youth growth through "mentoring and mentoring"
From an intern, data officer, construction worker, to a frontline project leader in production, Chen Youbiao, born in the 1990s, has grown by leaps and bounds within 5 years. In 2018, Baihe Shenghua Construction Technology Co., Ltd., the executive chairman unit of Ningbo Home Furnishing Industry Association, cooperated with Zhejiang Vocational and Technical College of Industry and Commerce to establish the "Baihe Shenghua Order Class", with Chen Youbiao as the first student. After graduation, Chen Youbiao officially joined Baihe Shenghua Construction Technology Co., Ltd. through training, assessment and other processes. Now transformed into a business elite, he hopes to "use his own growth experience to lead new members of the order team to quickly adapt to their positions and integrate into the enterprise.".
"The order class refers to the joint development of talent training plans and teaching content by schools and enterprises, which enhances students' practical skills and cultivates versatile talents through enterprise engineers' training at schools and students' practical training at construction sites." Zhang Liangwu, Executive President of Ningbo Home Furnishing Industry Association and Chairman of Baihe Shenghua Construction Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that since 2018, the "Baihe Shenghua Order Class" has been carried out for 6 sessions, cultivating more than 120 students and more than 50 students staying in enterprises. Among the first batch of students, 4 have become business backbone.
Meng Jiahui, who graduated from the Environmental and Art Design major of Zhejiang Vocational and Technical College of Industry and Commerce this year, is also a student of this order class. She is currently interning in Chen Youbiao's group and is familiar with the project process. In the next stage, she will learn frontline labor management work. "I hope to work hard to pass the assessment and become a formal frontline production management personnel," Meng Jiahui said.
Over the past 6 years, the Ningbo Home Furnishing Industry Association has built various employment bridges for school enterprise cooperation, cooperated with 32 schools, and nearly 120 enterprises participated, helping 12000 graduates find employment. "The association will screen out enterprises with non-standard operations, weak labor security implementation, and poor industry reputation, and recommend high-quality enterprises to cooperate with schools," said Chai Shan, Deputy Secretary General of the association.
Blue and blue are passed down one after another, and the firewood is passed down from generation to generation. Recently, the Zhejiang Construction Decoration Industry Association held a signing ceremony for the leader of the Labor Model Craftsman Innovation Studio, "Famous Teacher Leading Apprentice". Fang Shuren, born in the 1990s, who served as the assistant secretary general of the association, was selected to sign the contract. "I am very lucky to join the Innovation Studio, which is an encouragement and affirmation for me." Fang Shuren said that he hopes to deepen his professional technical knowledge in the field of architectural decoration with the studio leaders and experts in the future, and continuously improve his technical service capabilities and level.
"We will lead college graduates one-on-one, from learning theoretical knowledge to conducting on-site work," said Jia Huaqin, a recipient of the May Day Labor Medal in Zhejiang Province and the President of the Zhejiang Construction Decoration Industry Association. The model worker and craftsman innovation studio she leads has 425 experts with deputy senior titles or above, and currently has more than 10 pairs of mentors and apprentices. In recent years, she has trained multiple college graduates to become important young backbone positions in the association through "mentoring". Since 2015, the association has assisted 225 college graduates in finding employment.
This summer, Fang Xingyu, a student majoring in interior design at Zhejiang Construction Vocational and Technical School, came to the Zhejiang Construction Decoration Industry Association for an internship. She exclaimed with emotion that after more than a month of internship, she truly felt the care and cultivation of the association for young people, and "received guidance from industry seniors, hoping to exercise and grow here.".
