What is the employment rate of environmental engineering in recent years?

Employment Status and Influencing Factors of Undergraduates Majoring in Environmental Engineering 1 Employment Status of Undergraduates Majoring in Environmental Engineering From the perspective of supply, the number of graduates majoring in environmental engineering in China in recent five years is: 200 1 548,000; 5880 yuan in 2002; 07590 yuan in 2003; 7870 yuan in 2004; In 2005, the number of graduates reached 7970, with an average annual growth rate of 30%, which was significantly higher than the enrollment expansion rate of colleges and universities nationwide, especially 1999. Table 3 shows the employment rate of graduates majoring in environmental engineering in a university in Chongqing in recent 6 years [5]. The initial employment rate of undergraduates majoring in environmental engineering in a university in Chongqing in recent six years is 200 1, and the employment rate (%) in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 is 96.7 83.9 77.2 79. 1. As can be seen from the table, the employment rate of graduates majoring in environmental engineering in a university in Chongqing dropped from 96.7% in 200 1 to 77.2% in 2003, and has remained above 70% for the last three years. The main factors affecting the primary employment rate are: first, some students are too talented to be high, and too talented to be high; Second, influenced by the traditional concept of employment, many students still want to find jobs in government agencies and take exams for local civil servants; Third, many environmental protection companies and enterprises need experienced students majoring in environmental engineering, but for college students, what they lack most is social and work experience; Fourth, many graduates are reluctant to sign contracts with employers easily. After further understanding and comparison, they hope to find a better job. Fifth, some students who didn't get a master's degree in those years hope to apply for a master's degree again. These graduates are unwilling to find jobs. 1.2, the proportion of graduate students is increasing year by year. The table shows the proportion of undergraduates majoring in environmental engineering in Hunan Agricultural University who have been admitted to graduate schools in recent six years. In recent six years, the postgraduate entrance examination rate of environmental engineering majors in Hunan Agricultural University was 200 1, in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. The postgraduate entrance examination rate (%) is11.327.841.644.549.650.1As can be seen from the table, the proportion of graduates majoring in environmental engineering in Hunan Agricultural University admitted to graduate school has increased from1/kloc-in 2006. On the one hand, it has a lot to do with the national graduate enrollment expansion; On the other hand, due to the current employment pressure, many graduates hope to avoid temporary employment by applying for graduate students, which will certainly increase the employment pressure of future graduates; Thirdly, the social demand and attention to highly educated graduates has stimulated more and more undergraduate graduates to apply for graduate students. 1.3 the employment rate in the west has increased. Although economically developed areas can provide many employment opportunities, there is relatively little room for development because of the large number of talents. At present, China is developing the western region, and governments at all levels give preferential policies and treatment to graduates, which undoubtedly provides a broad employment space for environmental engineering students. According to statistics, the employment rate of environmental engineering students in a university in western Chongqing increased from 26.7% in 200 1 year to 38.8% in 2004. 1.4 sales and management ratio increased. Environmental engineering specialty has the characteristics of strong professionalism, relatively narrow employment and high requirements for students' professional skills. In this case, some students can learn the theoretical basis of this major well, and at the same time, they can take courses of a second major, such as marketing and management. It is understood that most companies or enterprises in the environmental protection industry will require employees to graduate from environmental engineering when recruiting sales or management positions, because talents with professional backgrounds can give professional explanations to customers, and these people can also undertake some after-sales service work. 2 Factors affecting the employment of graduates majoring in environmental engineering According to the research report on the development strategy of higher environmental education in China co-chaired by 1998, the report predicts the demand for environmental engineering professionals in China from three aspects: from 2000 to 20 10, the average annual demand for environmental engineering professionals in China Environmental Protection Bureau is 0.36 million; The demand for environmental engineering professionals in the environmental protection industry is 0.76 million; Various industries, especially metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, medicine, light industry, textile, printing and dyeing, will intensify pollution control, popularize cleaner production technology and implement environmental labels. It is estimated that the demand for environmental engineering professionals is 3500. Based on the forecast results of social environmental engineering professionals in the above three aspects, the average annual demand for environmental engineering professionals in China in 2000-20 10 was 14700 [6]. The Ministry of Personnel also made an authoritative prediction in 2004 that environmental engineers (environmental protection) will be one of the hottest and most demanding talents in the next few years. However, in the meeting of graduates' supply and demand, the major of environmental engineering was ignored. Even if you find a job, the salary is not very high. According to the investigation of hundreds of environmental engineering professionals, the salary of graduates in economically developed areas such as Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta is generally1.500-3,000 yuan/month, while the salary of similar posts in underdeveloped areas is generally 800- 1.800 yuan/month. The reasons for this situation are as follows: (1) Enterprises and institutions have higher requirements for undergraduate courses in environmental engineering, and environmental professional posts are typically "the older they are, the more valuable they are". Environmental engineers recruited by general design institutes will indicate that they need several years of relevant work experience. As an environmental engineering undergraduate who just stepped out of school, he lacks practical work experience and poor hands-on ability, so he can't be independent and create economic value in a short time. (2) From the perspective of "multi-disciplinary" talents, many environmental engineering undergraduates are limited to engineering, lack of integration of science and engineering knowledge, lack of Chinese writing ability, especially social science and humanities knowledge, and low English level, which has affected their exchanges and cooperation in some international companies; (3) Some undergraduates of environmental engineering in colleges and universities use outdated textbooks, usually have limited access to information media, and have little knowledge of the latest technological progress in the field of environmental protection; (4) Very few graduates majoring in environmental engineering are not enterprising in their jobs and lack the professional quality they deserve, which has a bad influence on employers, greatly damaging the reputation of graduates majoring in environmental engineering and affecting the employment of the next graduates.
