Strengthen the construction of talent team for high-quality development (new perspective)
Tan Hanwen
"Registered Mechanical Engineer", "Psychological Counselor", "Patent Attorney"... These professional qualifications have either completed their historical mission and faded out of sight, or have undergone corresponding changes with the development of the industry. The establishment and changes of the professional qualification catalog reflect China The development needs of society also promote a more scientific and standardized talent evaluation system.
The most notable change in the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog (2021 Edition)" is that the total number of professional qualifications has been greatly reduced. After optimization, 68 items have been reduced compared with the 2017 catalog, and the reduction rate has reached 49%.
Except for occupations closely related to public safety and personal health, the occupational qualifications of the 73 level-evaluated skills personnel have all been withdrawn from the catalog, and the government or its authorized units will no longer be recognized and issued certificates.
The human resources department will also withdraw from the specific implementation of the vocational qualifications of skilled personnel, forming a market-oriented mechanism for training and using skilled personnel.
This marks the continuous deepening of the reform of "delegation, regulation, and service" in the field of national vocational qualifications.
In the long run, it lays the foundation for the establishment of a talent evaluation system oriented by innovative value, ability and contribution.
The new catalogue also brings practical convenience to employers and talents.
Employers have a fuller voice under the new catalog.
The employer knows best what kind of talents are needed and how to evaluate and use them.
Before the announcement of the new catalog, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has clearly delegated powers to employers in the evaluation of skilled talents in 2020, vigorously promoted the identification of vocational skills, and did a good job in the convergence of the vocational qualifications of level-evaluated skilled personnel withdrawing from the catalog.
According to their own needs, the market entities will be tailored to suit their own needs, combined with the characteristics of production and operation and actual needs, independently determine the scope of evaluation occupations (types of work), independently set the level of vocational skills, independently develop and formulate evaluation standards and specifications, etc., independently carry out the evaluation of skilled talents, and issue vocational skills. Level Certificates.
As of the end of October this year, more than 9,600 enterprises and more than 2,700 social training evaluation organizations across the country have completed the registration of vocational skills level certification and evaluation agencies, and more than 5.4 million skilled personnel have passed the evaluation and obtained vocational skills level certificates.
This undoubtedly provides a strong foundation for employers to find and train skilled talents that best meet development needs.
The threshold for employment and entrepreneurship of laborers is further lowered, and the talent evaluation environment is more dynamic.
No vocational qualifications other than those listed in the catalog shall be permitted and recognized, and no vocational qualifications listed in the catalog shall not be linked to employment and entrepreneurship except for the entry-level professional qualifications. This reduces the burden on talents and further enhances employment flexibility.
The phenomenon of illegal training and certification caused by excessive and excessive professional qualifications will also be significantly curbed, which will loosen the tie for talents, and the recognition of the market and society is the touchstone of laborers' skills.
With the improvement of the scientific level of vocational qualification examinations, the "gold content" of the certificates in the catalog will also be further improved.
Some people worry about whether the certificates they have obtained are still valid?
What should I do if I still want to engage in related occupations that are withdrawn from the catalog?
In fact, withdrawing from the catalogue does not mean withdrawing from economic and social development, nor does it mean abolishing professional and professional standards, nor does it mean abolishing the evaluation of skilled talents.
The vocational qualification certificate that has been obtained is still valid and can be used as a proof of the professional ability level of the holder.
For the vocational qualifications of level-evaluated skilled personnel who withdrew from the catalog, the essence is to change from vocational qualification evaluation to the implementation of socialized grade recognition. The occupational classification and related standards are set by the government, and the specific implementation and the issuance of vocational skill level certificates are determined by the employer. The unit and social training evaluation organization are completed, and the relevant grade certificate and the professional qualification certificate have the same effect.
The vocational qualification catalog is a dynamically optimized system, with retreats and advances.
In order to better adapt to economic and social development, new professional qualifications such as "actuary", "mining rights appraiser", "dangerous goods and chemical transportation practitioners" and "road transportation practitioners" have been added this time to adapt to industry management and talent team building It is indeed necessary, and administrative licensing matters involving personnel qualifications have also been implemented.
The establishment and changes of the professional qualification catalogue have always been closely centered on the needs of China's economic and social development.
Based on the catalog, professional qualification licensing and recognition will be further regulated, and market vitality will also be strongly stimulated.
The burden on laborers is lighter, employers have autonomy, and the construction of a talent team with high-quality development as the goal is more confident.
