明年高校毕业生达910万
China sees 9.1M new grads Amid a global employment winter mainly due to the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic, China is implementing new measures to address the challenge posed by a record number of college graduates next year, the Ministry of Education said on Tuesday. Roughly 9.1 million students are expected to graduate next year, an increase of 350,000 over this year, the ministry said. In a video conference held by the ministry and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, both ministries called for strong efforts from local governments and higher education institutions to help more graduates find jobs. The Education Ministry encouraged local education authorities and colleges to look for more opportunities in strategically important emerging industries and modern service sectors. It also urged graduates to work at the grassroots level and apply to enlist in the Chinese armed forces. Also, local human resources and social security authorities should encourage State-owned enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises to expand employment and offer more support for college students who want to start their own companies, the human resources ministry said. |
