Especially in the past two years, because the school has set up a training base, they have become skilled garment processing workers before they take up their jobs. Therefore, even the internship period is exempted from working in the joint industry, and the monthly income can be directly 1500 yuan. Some students did well and got 2000 yuan. The company not only manages food and accommodation, but also provides various insurances. This is a dream for her who graduated from secondary vocational school. ?

Internship employment

Became a master of junior college students

In recent years, the media has continuously reported the shortage of high-skilled talents in enterprises, the blue-collar technology and the popularity of college students in secondary vocational schools. Back to the furnace? But have you heard the news that secondary vocational students who haven't graduated are teachers for college students? Wu, who graduated from a secondary vocational school in 2007, encountered this situation.

Wu is a student majoring in machining in Huxian Vocational Education Center. He was at school in January this year? Post employment? Under the new system, he and more than 50 students from the same school came to China A&M Group in Fujian for internship and employment. There are still many junior college students among the employees recruited by this enterprise. Although Xiao Wu's education is not high, his skills are not enough. Even the old workers in the factory might as well weld or process with imported materials. With this skill, Xiao Wu not only became a formal worker ahead of schedule, but also was ordered to be a master for four colleagues, one of whom was a college graduate. According to Wu's teacher Ma, Xiao Wu's monthly salary has reached 3,000 yuan, which is much higher than his salary.

For example, graduates majoring in electronic and electrical engineering and computer science can work directly in the above two employers as soon as they graduate.

Foreign scanning

It is getting hotter and hotter for secondary vocational school students to study abroad.

It has been reported recently that in some countries, 80% of the total number of international students in China are secondary vocational school graduates. Education experts say that the proportion of vocational high school students among overseas students is not large, but at present this proportion is on the rise.

According to experts studying abroad, the countries that secondary vocational students can go to are those countries and regions that have been open to China since the secondary education stage. Experts introduced some popular countries for studying abroad.

Even ordinary high school graduates from China find it difficult to get visas to stay in the United States. Generally speaking, ordinary universities in the United States will not consider accepting secondary vocational graduates from China. American universities generally have the admission rate of international students, which is controlled every year. China secondary vocational school graduates have no advantage in studying in American universities. But there is a special case, that is, community colleges in the United States (equivalent to two-year colleges in China) generally accept secondary vocational graduates from China.

Canada Canada can accept secondary vocational school graduates from China. Graduates from secondary vocational schools can attend Canadian public colleges first and make up the courses required by Canadian high school graduates. The study time varies from person to person and from school to school. Generally speaking, the counseling time is 8 months to 1 year.

British universities do not reject qualified secondary vocational graduates. However, British universities will require that the school where China graduates from secondary vocational schools are located must be equivalent to the high school level, or the school will issue a certificate to prove the high school graduation level of the applicants studying abroad, and the IELTS score must reach 4.5 ~5.

French and Belgian countries require graduates of secondary vocational schools in China to have transcripts of their college entrance examinations and a notice of admission to a junior college or undergraduate college before they can apply for studying in these two countries. Studying in France also involves French. You must study 500 class hours and get at least 200 points in tef test (some schools need to get more than 350 points).

The Netherlands and Denmark can generally accept secondary vocational school graduates from China to study abroad. Secondary vocational school students can apply to study in these two countries as long as they can graduate, but their IELTS score needs to reach 6.

Willing to start by cleaning toilets, they won college students.

When many fresh college graduates have no employment units, many fresh graduates from secondary vocational schools have implemented their units and started to enjoy wages and benefits. For the phenomenon that it is difficult for college students to find jobs, it is easy for higher vocational students to find jobs. According to the analysis of Li Mingfu, director of the Vocational Education Department of the Provincial Education Department, and Li Tianfu, director of the Vocational Education Department of the Xi Education Bureau, most secondary vocational graduates only need (or even don't need) short-term job training, which is very low for enterprises. Graduates can give full play to their talents in production positions and have strong job stability. Compared with many college graduates, secondary vocational school students are more adaptable and hard-working, which is also the most popular feature and advantage for enterprises. During their study, they have adapted to oil pollution, iron filings and splashing welding sparks, and established a close relationship with the roaring production workshop and cold steel workpieces. They are used to wearing work clothes and are familiar with how to wash oil stains off their faces with detergent. High-intensity and high-intensity internship training not only enables them to master operational skills; At the same time, temper tenacious will and hard-working spirit. They are not afraid of being dirty and tired, and these qualities are exactly what production enterprises need most.

President Wang Yuankang of Xi Tourism Vocational Secondary School agrees with this. He admits that the hotel industry requires every new employee to start from the bottom, that is, the front line of service, from making the bed and brushing the toilet, from an ordinary waiter to the foreman and then to the management. At first, the salary was not high. Many college graduates majoring in hotel tourism management think that hotels are management after graduation, not to serve guests, but hotels often don't recognize their academic qualifications. In addition, they are not as good as vocational school students in professional skills, so vocational school students have good employment and it is difficult to find jobs in related majors.

? The positions in enterprises are pyramid-shaped, and there are few positions in top management. Now most enterprises are not short of managers. What they lack is work. They need skilled and hard-working workers? Zhang said that in the past, some college graduates were placed in production positions, but most of them? Not good-looking? . Besides, many of them are for other purposes. Other reasons? Condescending to marry? Once the enterprise achieves its goal, it will try its best to transfer out of the enterprise, so that the enterprise will suffer some unnecessary losses. This gives more employment opportunities to those secondary vocational students who are based on their ability, accurate positioning and satisfied with finding a stable job.

Policy dynamics

Xi 'an 57 million yuan to upgrade vocational education.

When President Wang Yuankang visited five-star hotels in Xiamen, Guangzhou, Dongguan and other places to pay a return visit to students' employment, he found that these hotels have very high requirements for employees' foreign language proficiency. For example, in a hotel, employees' English level is not regularly assessed, and their salary will be increased by 200 yuan every time they pass the first grade, which will be paid in the same month. President Wang said:? The school will strengthen its investment in the construction of oral English specialty in the next step. At present, the Education Bureau is going to build a training base for our school, and then we will have a more spacious and perfect teaching environment. ?

It is understood that due to insufficient investment in vocational education in the past, the infrastructure construction of many schools can't keep up with the development requirements of the times. Nowadays, facing the market demand, how to provide students with a good teaching and training environment in terms of funds, facilities, teachers and professional construction has become an urgent problem in the development of vocational education.
