Employment prospects for computer majors in the International Interactive Class of Baotou Normal School

Computer science has always been a popular major in major universities across the country and is developing rapidly. The IT industry has always been a key industry that the country prioritizes for development, and is also one of the industries with the largest demand for talents at home and abroad. With the development of the Internet, the shortage of IT talents will become more and more serious. In our country, there is a serious shortage of IC talents, network storage talents, e-commerce talents, information security talents, and game technology talents; in terms of the software talent hierarchy, there are few high-level system analysts and project planners with industry backgrounds. At the same time, software There is also a shortage of blue-collar workers. According to conservative estimates, the current demand for IT talents in the Chinese market exceeds 200,000 people every year. As the IT industry becomes more and more popular, more and more people are enrolling in computer majors in major universities. In recent years, as the number of graduates has surged, the employment rate and the ratio of supply and demand have dropped significantly.

Computer employment prospects

The talent structure is an olive-shaped structure with small ends at both ends and a large middle, that is, high-end software talents, including system analysts, project technical directors, etc., and low-end talents, such as There is a serious shortage of personnel engaged in basic software development such as software coding programmers, while there is a surplus of mid-level (end) talents.

Objectively speaking, higher education has great advantages in cultivating traditional educational theoretical and research-oriented talents in computer majors. However, in the cultivation of applied talents, there is a single level, lagging teaching content, and theoretical There is a serious disconnect with practice, the curriculum is outdated, and the facilities cannot keep up. As a result, most graduates now have more than enough theory and relatively insufficient professional application skills required for their positions. Many graduates even need longer training to be qualified for the job, and some are even worse than those who have participated in short-term training. This situation eventually led to many college and undergraduate graduates majoring in computer science to be unable to find jobs with their college diplomas. This directly leads to the emergence of an olive-shaped employment structure for computer majors: graduates are incompetent for high-end software management positions and basic operation positions, and companies are seriously short of such talents, while mid-level positions are difficult to find due to fierce competition.

According to statistical analysis of the employment situation of computer major graduates in recent years, the employment of computer major graduates has the following characteristics:

1. The development of both supply and demand is relatively stable, and the contradiction between supply and demand is not protrude. With the rapid development of the IT industry, the number of computer major graduates is greater than that of students from other majors. Although the IT industry has been in a downturn in recent years and computer majors have the largest number of graduates among all other majors, compared with other majors, society and employers have a greater demand for computer graduates, and the contradiction between supply and demand is not prominent.

2. The employment rate has developed steadily, but the salary level has declined. The standard for measuring the employment status of graduates must take into account not only the employment rate of graduates, but also the salary level of graduates. With the expansion of graduate and undergraduate students in colleges and universities, especially the sharp increase in the number of computer major graduates, and the impact of economic factors, the employment of computer major graduates is not as popular as before, and the overall quality of employment has declined significantly. Employers have more choices for graduates, which will lead to higher and higher requirements for applicants. They must not only have certain professional qualities and comprehensive qualities, but also possess certain professional abilities, including core skills, common industry skills and professional skills. Expertise. More employers are paying more attention to the introduction of highly educated and experienced talents.

Generally speaking, society will still have a great demand for high-end computer major talents in the future, but computer major graduates will also face increasingly fierce competition.

Practice direction

Computer system structure: Suitable for work in the fields of computer networks, embedded technology, high-performance computing, network information security and multimedia information processing. Many multinational companies and well-known domestic large enterprises, such as Microsoft, IBM, HP, AMD, Intel, Oracle, SAP, Huawei and other companies, have a large demand for this professional talent.

Computer software and theory: There are many career options for computer software and theory. As long as it is computer-related work, you can basically get started quickly. It can be described as taking both soft and hard approach.

Computer application technology: It is very important for graduates of this major to have good innovation ability and programming development ability. You may wish to choose an industry with scarce talents, which can not only avoid fierce employment competition , the salary is also relatively objective.
