Response from Changzhou Master Urban Management Team

Dong Caiying, a "master's urban management member" of the Jintan Urban Management Team, majored in horticulture for her undergraduate degree and vegetable science for her master's degree. Dong Caiying is the team leader of the women's team of the Second Squadron of the Jintan Urban Management Brigade. She is also responsible for writing work. She said that she has adapted to this job very well. "Professional knowledge has been completely abandoned, but my learning ability is still there! This position is quite training, and I feel that I have gained a lot."

Yang Binyu, a member of the urban management team with a master's degree, majored in accounting. The reason why he applied for the exam at that time was because his job as a civil servant was relatively stable. After entering the urban management department, for the purpose of "recharging", Yang Binyu applied for an on-the-job postgraduate degree in public management. He doesn't think it's a waste for a master's student to work as an urban management officer. “The responsibilities of Changzhou urban management are 7 plus 1, involving various related functions including environmental protection, noise, industry and commerce, planning, etc. In the future, the scope of urban management’s work responsibilities will become wider and wider, and there will also be the use of digitalization and high technology. The quality requirements are also getting higher and higher.”

Relevant people from the Chengdu City Urban Management Detachment said that according to detachment statistics, there are 12 master's degree students in the first-line urban management brigade. These graduate students are all recruited through civil servants, and some are full-time graduate students. Some are working graduate students, and their majors are also different. The urban management brigade in Zhonglou District has the largest number of master's degree members. Deputy Captain Shi Lei believes that urban management work is very specific and complicated, and urban management team members need to understand laws and regulations. Moreover, urban management is not just about chasing away vendors. The content of urban management is very complex and the management requirements vary. When facing the parties involved and the surrounding people, urban management team members must have language communication and expression skills. In addition, Changzhou City will build an intelligent urban management system that will use network computer technology to monitor city appearance in real time. Therefore, these require highly educated and even professional and technical personnel. "These highly educated personnel are all on the front line, and we want them to have a deep understanding of grassroots work. Some of them have already stepped into leadership and management positions. These master's students are basically born in the 1980s and came in through the civil service examination," Shi Lei said .
