Why are many enterprises unwilling to hire foreign students in the three plus one program?

China has become one of the largest exporters of studying abroad in the world.

According to the data of the Ministry of Education, from 2002 to 20 1 1 year, the number of students studying abroad at their own expense has tripled, reaching 340,000 in 20 1 1 year. At the same time, the proportion of international students who choose to return to China for development is also rising. 20 1 1 year, the total number of returned overseas students in China reached190,000, a sharp increase of 38% compared with 20 1 year. However, according to a survey released by Zhaopin recently, over 70% of enterprises HR (head of human resources department-editor's note) indicated that returnees would not be given priority.

Specifically, 66. 1% people said they would treat them equally. The HR and management who don't like returnees are 8.0%. There are also 25.9% people who prefer returnees. Enterprise HR also chose the reason not to favor returnees. Among them, 42.2% HR thinks returnees are "ambitious", 33.4% think they are easy to change jobs and unstable, and 20.7% think returnees are somewhat blind and confident. Some experts pointed out that the advantage of many returnees is foreign languages, and their professional knowledge and entrepreneurial ability are less competitive than those of top domestic college graduates.

Secondly, the major of returnees is relatively concentrated in business, which is not the most scarce technical talent for domestic enterprises. According to Zhaopin's recruitment survey, 33.9% of returnees majored in finance/accounting, followed by management/human resources, reaching 23.6%. Other majors are marketing/marketing (17.7%), language/education (13.8%) and public relations/media (4.9%). It is worth noting that the discount of talent training mode in some destination countries is also an important reason for the decline of returnees' advantages. Nowadays, in order to boost the economy, many countries have lowered the threshold for China students to study abroad, and at the same time lowered the requirements for international students' teaching quality. After the global financial crisis in 2008, many European and American countries have not yet emerged from the economic downturn.

With the increasing number of students studying in China, some countries are aiming at the study abroad market in China. According to the statistics of China Education Association for International Exchange, the inflow of international students can bring 80-90 billion dollars in income to the host country every year. In recent years, except the United States, Britain and other countries that are favored by China students, they have been increasing their publicity for studying abroad, while Australia, New Zealand and other countries have also announced and increased preferential measures for China students. Some universities even officially recognized China's college entrance examination results from this year. At the same time, the quality of education in some foreign universities is difficult to guarantee. For example, the training time for business graduate students in Britain and Australia is only one year. Due to the short academic system and relatively low cost, it is favored by many international students who value "cost performance".

"One-year" master's degree is a key project promoted and expanded in some destination countries in recent years. How many substantial things can international students learn from this "short-term study abroad"? Its effect is questionable. Internship and work experience abroad is also an important aspect of reflecting the gold content of returned overseas students. However, some insiders pointed out that European countries such as Britain provide fewer internships and job opportunities for international students. Britain even canceled the two-year internship for international students, and Australia and New Zealand also canceled the internship for international students. No wonder many scholars and experts accuse some countries of being irresponsible, earning money from international students and sending them back to China as soon as possible.

In addition, under the temptation of huge profits, some unscrupulous study agents did not take the initiative to inform or deliberately conceal the risks of studying abroad, and even made false propaganda, which made some students regret entering the "pheasant" university. Nowadays, many families blindly follow the crowd and send their children to "gild" regardless of whether they are suitable for studying abroad, although many major destination countries have repeatedly raised the cost of studying abroad in recent years. According to the report released by the Institute of International Education of Kai Tak Education Group, among the families studying abroad, the number of families with an annual income of less than 300,000 yuan has increased from 58% of 20 10 to 76%. More and more working-class families send their children to study abroad. However, the figures of the British Study Abroad Network show that in the past 10 years, the tuition fees of British universities have increased by at least one third, and the tuition fees of some courses have increased by more than half.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that anyone who makes a decision to study abroad should have sufficient basis and remain rational. Everyone should comprehensively consider whether to study abroad according to their own economic conditions, career planning, potential and professional direction.
