Is it easy to find a job after studying in technical school?

Hello dear, it’s true that vocational school students “find jobs easily”. Data released by the Ministry of Education show that in the past five years, the employment rate of higher vocational graduates has stabilized at around 90 after half a year, and the employment rate of secondary vocational graduates has stabilized at around 95 after half a year. However, the jobs available to vocational school students are not favored by young people. The high employment rate of vocational school students cannot convince students and parents. What can truly convince and attract students and parents to accept vocational education is high-quality employment and high-quality career development for vocational school students. Improving the quality of employment and broadening the development space for skilled talents require the joint efforts of vocational education and employers. High-quality vocational education cultivates high-quality skilled talents; the supply of high-skilled talents injects vitality into the upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries, thereby improving the working environment and working conditions of skilled talents... This can form a positive relationship between vocational education and social development. interactive. To achieve high-quality employment for vocational school graduates, vocational schools must adhere to the positioning of vocational education, create a curriculum system and talent training model that can cultivate high-quality skilled talents in accordance with society's requirements for high-quality skilled talents, and further promote the integration of industry and education. , school-enterprise cooperation. In addition, from a practical point of view, students and parents are not very receptive to becoming skilled talents because they are worried about the lack of opportunities for advancement and development. Therefore, only by breaking the academic orientation and reversing the prejudice against skilled talents can high-quality skilled talents gain more room for development. China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security stated on the 27th that it plans to recruit at least 1.4 million technical college students in the next academic year. . The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security stated that departments at all levels should "guide technical colleges to rationally set up enrollment majors in close connection with the needs of economic and social development, encourage technical colleges to extensively carry out school-enterprise cooperation, actively carry out the training of skilled talents integrating engineering and learning, and improve the quality of training."

With rising labor costs and increasing automation rates, the world's ambitious second-largest economy is transforming into technology-driven smart manufacturing, shifting its manufacturing focus to high-added products that are seen as future economic drivers. Value product. However, the lack of systematic vocational training and the reluctance of young people to work in factories have led to a shortage of skilled manufacturing workers and engineers in China, thus exacerbating the pressure on manufacturers. Data from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments show that the talent gap in China's ten key manufacturing fields will be close to 20 million in 2020, and will be close to 30 million by 2025.

A survey conducted last year by the National Bureau of Statistics of China on industrial enterprises above designated size found that about 44% of the interviewed enterprises stated that "difficulty in recruiting workers" was the biggest challenge they faced. At the same time, China is actively grappling with relatively high unemployment. China's urban surveyed unemployment rate rose to a two-year high last month. These pressures are expected to rise further when an unprecedented 10.76 million college students flood the workforce this year.

The only group in the job market that is bucking the trend is graduates from technical colleges. According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the employment rate of more than 1 million technical college graduates nationwide in 2021 is as high as 97.2. As of the end of last year, there were 2,492 technical colleges in China, an increase of more than 100 from two years ago. According to the national "14th Five-Year Plan", this number is expected to continue to increase by 2025.

As China's leading economic and manufacturing province, Guangdong Province plans to expand the province's skilled worker talent pool by launching more apprenticeship programs and introducing an industry master-apprenticeship system. Data shows that Guangdong Province's annual demand for skilled manufacturing talents is about 1.2 million, but the province can only train about 800,000 such talents each year.
