Pay attention to the employment of college students —— Analysis of the employment situation of college graduates in Gansu Province

The employment of college students has become a hot issue of general concern in current society.

Then, what is the employment situation of college graduates in Gansu Province, what challenges and opportunities are they facing, and where should college students find jobs? With these questions, the reporter recently visited the Provincial Personnel Department and the Provincial Education Department.

How difficult is it for college students to find a job?

According to a statistical data of the Provincial Personnel Department, in 2007, there were more than 53,000 graduates from 3 1 non-normal colleges in Gansu Province, an increase of 23.5% over last year and 3.5 percentage points higher than the national average. There are nearly 6.5438+0.7 million graduates from eight normal colleges in the province, which is basically the same as last year. At the same time, the total supply of urban labor force in Gansu Province reached 350,000 this year, while the planned urban employment in Gansu Province was only 6.5438+0.5 million, and the employment gap reached about 200,000. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education on the supply-demand ratio of college graduates in 30 provinces in China, it was 1:0.93 in 2005 and 1:0.83 in 2006, and the demand was relatively reduced. Yang Cheng, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial Personnel Department, pointed out in his report at Lanzhou University of Technology that this year and even in the future, the contradiction between the rapidly increasing number of people and the limited number of jobs is very prominent, and the employment competition is unprecedentedly fierce.

While the supply of college graduates exceeds demand, the structural contradiction has not been alleviated: from the perspective of professional education structure, the supply of urgently needed majors exceeds demand, the supply of long-term majors exceeds demand, the supply of graduate students exceeds demand, the undergraduate students are flat, and the number of college graduates returning to their original places continues to rise. At the same time, in recent years, the number of graduates from private independent colleges in Gansu Province has increased rapidly. In 2006, there were nearly 5,000 graduates of private independent colleges in Gansu Province, accounting for 8.6% of the graduates of ordinary colleges and universities in the province. However, the composition of students, training methods and social recognition make the employment of graduates of such colleges face great challenges and pressures, and the employment rate has been hovering around 60% in recent years.

In recent years, Gansu Province has intensified the government's regulation and control over the employment of graduates, and the number of graduates who spend money on employment has gradually increased. According to the forecast of the personnel department, in 2007, the number of college graduates in and outside Gansu Province who come back to ask for government arrangements will increase; In recent years, more than 6,000 graduates in Gansu Province have served at the grassroots level, and the difficulty in compiling funds has not been completely solved.

According to statistics, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, more than 654.38 million non-normal college graduates in Gansu Province were employed, and the employment rate at the end of the year was stable at around 85%, which was higher than the national average.

Work is not what it used to be.

As we all know, expanding employment is the fundamental way to solve the employment difficulties of graduates. In recent years, the party and government organs have adopted the "compulsory examination for recruitment", and the competition for recruitment is very fierce. A profession has dozens or even thousands of people competing; Institutions such as science, education, culture and health are affected by the establishment, and the post increase is very limited; Due to technological progress and rising management costs, the employment capacity of state-owned and collective enterprises has shrunk on a large scale, and the ability to absorb graduates is extremely limited.

At the same time, the booming non-public enterprises have become the main channel to attract graduates. According to statistics, 70% to 80% of job fairs in Gansu Province and some places are provided by non-public enterprises. Judging from the development law of the world economy, whether in developed or developing countries, more than 99.5% of the total number of enterprises in society are small and medium-sized enterprises, and 65% to 80% of the total labor force are employed in small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, attaching importance to supporting and accelerating the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is an effective way to alleviate employment difficulties.

Facing the severe and complicated employment situation of college graduates, the central government and our province have successively issued a series of policies and measures conducive to the employment of graduates; Guide and encourage graduates to find jobs at the grassroots level. In June, 2005, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Guiding and Encouraging College Graduates to Face Grassroots Employment, which marked that China college graduates have entered a new stage of facing grassroots employment in the new era. Gansu Province has successively implemented the "College Students' Volunteer Service Plan for the West", "Three Supports and One Support", the project of graduates entering villages (communities) and the "Special Post Plan" for rural teachers. Li Defu, deputy director of the Provincial Personnel Department, said that guiding and encouraging college graduates to find jobs at the grassroots level is the main channel and direction for graduates to find jobs at present and in the future, and it is the top priority of employment work.

Relevant personnel of the Provincial Personnel Department explained that the grassroots level is a big concept, including both rural areas and urban street communities; It covers not only party and government organs, enterprises and institutions and social organizations below the county level, but also non-public economic organizations and small and medium-sized enterprises; It includes self-employment and self-employment, as well as hard industries and hard jobs.

The concept of employment should be popularized.

In 2006, the number of students in various colleges and universities in Gansu Province reached 380,000, and the gross enrollment rate of higher education exceeded 15%. According to the objective standards of higher education recognized by the world, higher education in Gansu Province has entered the stage of popular education from the stage of elite education.

The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Personnel Department pointed out that "when you enter the university through the popular door, you must have a popular concept of employment when you graduate".

The popular concept of employment is to participate in employment selection and competition with the mentality and orientation of an ordinary worker, adjust the employment expectations that are not in line with the actual situation, and appropriately choose employment based on their own conditions on the premise of correctly judging the situation.

However, in the eyes of many graduates, especially parents, going to institutions, institutions and large enterprises is considered as "formal employment", while other self-employed, flexible employment and non-public employment are not considered as "legitimate" employment. Obviously, this concept has not adapted to the employment concept in the popular era.

Nowadays, employment is realized in the competition of labor supply exceeding demand. Objectively, some graduates are required to choose their own development opportunities in the space and field of flexible employment, give play to their intelligence and realize their life value in the space of flexible employment.

Flexible employment, including self-employed, freelance and temporary employment, is one of the seven forms of employment stipulated by the state at present. Therefore, only by preparing for flexible employment can we find our place in the fierce employment competition.

Zhou Ji: Do a good job in the employment of college students in 2008 with deep affection.

Zhou Ji pointed out that the report of the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the requirement of "actively doing a good job in the employment of college graduates", which fully reflected the ardent expectations of the CPC Central Committee for the development of education, especially higher education, attached great importance to the employment of college graduates, and showed enthusiastic concern for the majority of graduates. Not long ago, the National People's Congress deliberated and passed the Employment Promotion Law, which provided an important legal guarantee for graduates' employment. We should seize the rare historical opportunity faced by the current graduate employment and creatively do a good job in graduate employment in accordance with the requirements of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Ten ministries held a joint meeting and issued five measures to promote the employment of college students in 2008.

It is reported that in 2008, the number of college graduates nationwide will reach 5.59 million, an increase of 640,000 over the previous year. Today, ten ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Education, jointly held an inter-ministerial joint meeting on the employment of college graduates, and three departments, including education, personnel and labor security, jointly issued a notice. In 2008, the first recruitment activity of the National College Graduates Employment Network Alliance was officially launched, and the employment of college graduates nationwide in 2008 kicked off.

The job market highlights four new characteristics, and the rights and interests of fresh graduates are guaranteed.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, since 200 1 year, the number of college graduates in China has increased substantially year by year: from 200 11400, to 2.8 million in 2004 and to 4.96 million in 2007. It is estimated that the total number of college graduates in China will reach 5.32 million in 2008, a record high. According to the data from Beijing College Graduates Employment Guidance Center, in 2007, there were 0/93,000 college graduates in Beijing, and in 2008, the number of college graduates will exceed 200,000. For the fresh graduates who graduated in 2008 and the enterprises that want to recruit, the Labor Contract Law, which will come into effect on June 5438+ 10/2008, is undoubtedly a major event, and both enterprises and fresh graduates are actively concerned about it, and this law has also had a deterrent effect on this year's graduate employment market, with four new features.

Take various measures to broaden the channels and diversify the employment of college students.

In 2008, the employment of college graduates has been fully launched, and some new characteristics have appeared in the employment of graduates.

At the two-way selection meeting of college graduates in Shenzhen, there was a long queue in front of the booth of the recruiting unit, which was crowded with students who came to apply for consultation. Xiao Wang studied at Harbin Institute of Technology and came from the north this time, hoping to get a better position in Shenzhen.
