Survey report on the employment situation of college students

Survey Report on the Employment Situation of College Students

1. Current Situation

(1) The government has vigorously promoted employment guidance for college students. In recent years, the government has vigorously promoted employment guidance for college students. Our city has vigorously implemented the national employment policies for college graduates, continuously strengthened employment service functions, provided practical employment guidance for the majority of graduates, and achieved good results.

First, we have established 100 employment internship bases for college students, and actively organized college students to enter the internship bases to carry out internship activities, accumulate work experience and abilities, and lay a good foundation for adapting to new positions as soon as possible after graduation.

The second is to actively implement the "three supports and one support" plan to encourage college students to find employment in rural areas and alleviate the employment pressure in urban areas.

The third is to rely heavily on the talent market, actively recommend college graduates to employers, and effectively increase the employment rate of graduates; the fourth is to introduce preferential policies to support college students to start their own businesses and actively expand employment channels. Through these measures, in 2008, more than 1,500 college graduates in our city entered front-line jobs in government agencies and institutions, central and provincial units, private economies and rural production.

(2) The employment situation of college students is still severe. In the past two years, about 2,000 graduates in our city have returned to Jixi every year, and it is expected that the number will increase this year. Although some employment has been achieved through various channels, The overall situation is still not optimistic. According to the talent department, in the past three years, there have been 7,210 college graduates in our city, and 3,119 have been employed, with an employment rate of 43%. Among them, 120 have passed the civil service examination, accounting for 1.7%; 860 people were hired by units, accounting for 11.9%; 2139 people were hired by various types of enterprises, accounting for 29.6%. However, on the one hand, because the number of graduates continues to increase at a rate of about 15% every year, the growth rate of demand lags significantly behind. The contradiction between supply and demand in the job market for college graduates is still very prominent, with total quantity contradictions and structural contradictions coexisting. On the other hand, as employers have increasingly higher requirements for the quality and academic qualifications of graduates, and college graduates are self-conscious about finding a job. Expectations are too high, resulting in the phenomenon of "high and low". Affected by many factors, there are still 4,091 college students in our city who are unemployed, accounting for 57% of the total. According to estimates from the Municipal Talent Center, the city will also receive more students this year. With 3,000 graduates, the employment situation of college students in our city is still grim and not optimistic.

(3) Some units have a very urgent need for graduates. Currently, candidates for government agencies and units need to take the unified civil service examination across the province. Due to the reform of the personnel system in recent years, public institutions have implemented strict staffing requirements. Policies, the establishment of township institutions is temporarily frozen, and corporate employers are unwilling to choose college students. The survey shows that there are many employers in our city who have demand for college graduates, and some of the needs are quite urgent. Some government agencies are short of people. One person had to hold multiple positions, and some units borrowed people from grassroots units or temporarily hired social workers, resulting in an unfavorable situation of mixed staffing and mixed posts, and even affected the normal operation of the unit.

2. Problems and causes

(1) The majors studied by college students are inconsistent with the majors demanded by the market. In the past three years, the majors of college students accepted by our city are relatively concentrated and single, mainly Chinese, Economic management and other relatively popular long-term majors, while some extremely short-term and short-term majors are relatively rare, especially mining, machinery, information, law, translation, tourism, foreign trade, arts and crafts, environmental protection engineering and other majors. It cannot meet the current needs of our city's economic and social development. The reason is mainly that when the employment of college students has been market-oriented, the major setting and adjustment of universities lag behind, resulting in a misalignment between the professional structure of graduates and market supply and demand. From the source, this has become an important reason restricting the employment of college students. one.

Many schools have too detailed divisions of majors, making it difficult to keep up with the pace of market changes; some higher vocational and junior college education majors lack characteristics, and the students they train have no competitive advantage. In recent years, although higher education has also accelerated The adjustment of professional structure and talent training structure has indeed made some progress, but generally speaking, colleges and universities lack the enthusiasm and initiative for reform and adjustment. The professional setting and professional adjustment of some schools are often not oriented to market demand, but simply Based on the conditions of its own teachers, etc., the school has no characteristics, the education has no characteristics, and the students have no specialties. The result is that the long-term is longer and the structural contradictions are more prominent.

(2) College students’ employment concepts lag behind, and there is a big contrast between expectations and social needs. In the survey, we found a common phenomenon that most college students are unwilling to work at the grassroots level. A considerable number of college students still stay in the traditional employment concepts of the past. As a result, they are often unable to position themselves correctly in the process of choosing a career, and often show a kind of Blind mentality, believing that only by staying in the city or in a large unit can one reflect one's life value and realize one's ideals and ambitions. They rarely consider whether their career expectations are realistic, whether the chosen career meets the needs of society, and whether it is suitable for what they have studied. Whether you can give full play to your talents and expertise according to your major.

Most students are relatively vague about their career goals and have not well combined their interests and hobbies with their majors. Employment expectations are too high, and the situation of failure to achieve high and low results is more prominent. Some college students blindly pursue Material treatment and geographical conditions emphasize status, fame and fortune, neglect career and dedication, and lack the spirit of hard work and strong sense of responsibility. For this reason, when choosing a career, most graduates first choose civil servants, followed by public institutions with financial expenditures, and do not want to work in public institutions with financial expenditures. Employment in grassroots units in urgent need of talents or in places with relatively difficult conditions and relatively remote locations. This will inevitably result in cities, large units and units with favorable conditions being flooded with talents, or even a waste of talent, while grassroots units that urgently need talents to develop and manage are left unattended, exacerbating the contradiction between supply and demand between college graduates and social needs.

(3) The "threshold" for employers is too high, making it more difficult for college students to find employment. Affected by the current oversupply in the labor market, some employers intend to improve recruitment conditions without considering the actual needs and long-term interests of the unit. They are not window units, but also require height and appearance. Some units even require a high degree of education to recruit receptionists. Reconciliation image. Although there is a clear provision that no gender discrimination is allowed when recruiting personnel, some units still only want men and not women when recruiting. Many units require certain work experience when recruiting, which excludes newly graduated college students. outside the door.

Some units require a graduate degree or above, which makes many college students sigh. In fact, "two-way selection" has basically become a "one-way selection" process for employers. Employers in a strong position will The advantageous mentality of "too many jobs" has artificially raised the threshold, which has become a difficulty for many college students to find a successful job. It is so difficult to apply for enterprises and institutions, so it is better to choose civil servant positions that are more secure and secure, so that in most students Students have formed in their minds that taking the civil service exam is the only way out for employment, which has led to a craze for civil servant recruitment to pick only one out of a hundred or even one out of a thousand.

3. Suggestions and Countermeasures

Many problems existing in the employment of college students are inevitable in the progress of social development and are a process that must be experienced in reform. We should objectively understand the current employment situation of college students. situation, correctly analyze the contradictions and problems in the employment of college students, take advantage of the situation, improve policies, and take effective measures to solve problems.

The first is to improve career-selection skills and open up employment channels for college students. In the talent market, graduates’ lack of necessary job-seeking skills and poor career-selection skills are the main reasons for job rejection. Graduate employment guidance services serve as graduate employment As an important part of the work, we should give full play to our service functions, strengthen employment guidance for graduates, and strive to improve service quality and service levels. During the peak period of graduation every year, through flexible methods such as hiring experts to give reports and successfully employed graduates to talk about their experiences, Help graduates to scientifically analyze the situation and understand themselves objectively, promote graduates' psychological preparation for employment, help graduates master certain career selection skills, be good at using market information, and be good at "selling themselves" in the talent market and job fairs. By strengthening the construction of the employment information service system, we will provide more employment options for graduates.

By holding special exchange meetings for college graduates and other methods, we will maximize the resource allocation role of the talent market and strive to enable college graduates to find satisfactory jobs and employers to select useful talents.

The second is to improve the employment mechanism and smooth the employment channels for college students. Adhere to the policy of "everyone who enters must take the exam" for civil servants, and improve the "everyone who enters must take the exam" mechanism for public institutions. The government agencies and public institutions that do not recruit employees every year All positions must be selected for "public examination", which not only gives graduates an opportunity, but also improves the quality of the cadre team, improves the personnel structure of agencies and institutions, and at the same time creates a good employment orientation; develops talent dispatch business, expands The scope of services is to improve insurance and other service items, gradually increase the number of agency units, and provide employment opportunities for graduates as much as possible; improve the personnel agency system, implement personnel agency for graduates who go to private enterprises or choose their own careers, and provide employment opportunities for graduates to private enterprises. Green channels will be established for enterprise employment.

The third is to give full play to the function of the internship base and expand employment channels for college students. Establish an employment internship base for college students, and actively recommend students who have returned to the city but are not employed and students who are about to graduate and are still interns to go to employers with professional counterparts for training, so as to provide They set up a stage to show themselves, allowing them to improve their abilities in practice and increase their chances of employment. At the same time, it also builds a supply and demand meeting platform for employers to select and employ people. During the internship process of graduates, they can directly understand their technical level, ability and quality. , Moral character. In order to meet the needs of graduates of different categories and majors, the number of internship bases should be increased year by year, and the scope should be expanded to three counties (cities) and six districts in the city, not only in cities and towns, but also in rural areas, not only in government agencies and units Yes, enterprises, institutions, and non-state-owned economic units must also have it.

The fourth is to vigorously implement the "three supports and one support" project to expand employment channels for college students. According to the survey, college graduates jointly organized by eight ministries and commissions, including the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Personnel, went to work at the grassroots level in rural areas. The results of supporting education, supporting agriculture, supporting medical care and poverty alleviation are very obvious, providing a strong talent guarantee for the construction of a new socialist countryside and effectively alleviating the pressure of graduates to find employment. It is recommended to implement the "three supports and one support" project as Taking this opportunity, we will further increase the efforts to introduce graduates from the "Three Supports and One Support" program and attract graduates to make contributions to the front lines of rural production in our city.

The fifth is to encourage employment at the grassroots level and increase employment channels for college students. Looking at the national situation, due to the implementation of the civil service system in government agencies and the ongoing reform of the personnel system of public institutions, flexible employment at the grassroots level or self-employment has become the current situation for college students. The main channel for employment. In order to relieve employment pressure and send college students to places where talents are most needed, it is recommended that relevant departments further study and formulate preferential policies to encourage and guide college students to find employment at the grassroots level. College students working in townships (towns) and villages should enjoy appropriate living subsidies with reference to the "three supports and one support" policy. In addition, when the party and government agencies recruit civil servants, they should reserve some positions or select college students with grassroots work experience. Carry out appropriate additional care. For college students who engage in flexible employment such as freelancing, short-term employment or self-employment, the government should provide effective support in terms of loans, taxation, etc., and at the same time provide necessary human relations agency services, in terms of household registration management, labor relations forms, social Provide strong protection in terms of insurance payment and insurance relationship continuation. ;
