"Today is the first day I joined the Linyi branch of China Mobile Shandong Co., Ltd. The work place is in my hometown, Pingyi County. Our county is the 'Top 100 Demonstration County of China's Rural Revitalization'. I work at the door of my house, do not need to rent a house, and go home after get off work. When you get home, you will have hot meals and dishes prepared by your parents. The work is also compatible with the major you are studying, and there will definitely be development in the future." Lu Changhao, a fresh graduate of Tianjin University of Technology with a master's degree in electronics and communication engineering, told reporters on August 1 that after graduation Instead of going to a "first-tier city" for development, she returned to her hometown and found a job that both her parents and herself thought were very good.
"Where to find employment" has always been a hot topic focused on by all sectors of society.
According to data from the Ministry of Education, the number of Chinese college graduates in 2022 is expected to reach 10.76 million, an increase of 1.67 million over the previous year.
During the National People's Congress in 2022, a number of representatives and committee members offered advice and suggestions on ensuring the employment of college graduates, and proposed that colleges and universities should guide students to understand the trend that the gap between urban and rural areas will inevitably gradually narrow, and encourage college students to return to their hometowns for employment.
Nowadays, more and more graduates no longer regard "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" as their first choice for employment.
Employment in non-first-tier cities, county towns, and grassroots employment has become a popular choice for this year's fresh graduates.
Lu Changhao's research direction is artificial intelligence.
She told reporters that in recent years, Pingyi County has accelerated innovation with artificial intelligence technology and guided the industry to intelligently transform existing processes and production lines.
She felt that her technology and ability would be useful in the development and construction of informatization in her hometown.
In May of this year, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting Urbanization with County Towns as Important Carriers", proposing to "enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity of county towns, improve the development quality of county towns, and better satisfy farmers' employment in county towns. The needs of housing and the production and living needs of residents in the county seat provide strong support for the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand and the coordinated promotion of new urbanization and rural revitalization.”
The "Opinions" brought new development opportunities to the county, and also gave hope to many young people in the county who are studying and working abroad.
Sun Zhiyi, a recent graduate of Nankai University Business School from Yueyang County, Hunan Province, is one of them.
"When I went back to my hometown to work, I thought about it carefully. Being close to home is one aspect, and the main thing is that I feel that the county will develop in the future. Because Yueyang not only has the famous Yueyang Tower, it is also the only international trade port city in Hunan Province, and it is a well-known port city in China. And Yueyang County is the best developed among the many districts and counties in Yueyang City." Sun Zhiyi told reporters that in 2022, all walks of life will face challenges, one side is the pressure of employment in "big cities", and the other side is the changes and advantages of small county towns. Like her, the classmates who chose to return to their hometowns for employment no longer regarded "returning to the county seat" as a means of delaying the military, but the direction of their future life.
The "2022 College Student Employability Survey Report" released by Zhaopin Recruitment shows that among graduates returning to their hometowns for employment, in addition to "testing", returning to their hometown to start a business and enter a strong hometown enterprise has also become the first choice.
Ren Lingli, a fresh graduate of Tianjin University of Technology with a master's degree in textile engineering, is from Nantong, Jiangsu.
As graduation approached, she had two choices: one was to go to Shanghai, and the other was to go back to Nantong.
"I finally chose to go back to Nantong and work in Hengke New Materials Co., Ltd. Because this company is a strong company in my hometown, it is very strong in the textile industry, and it also matches the major I have studied. At present, my workshop has just been built. , I am installing equipment, and I can grow up with the workshop." Ren Lingli said that although the opportunities in Shanghai are promising and the income is high, there is a lot of competition; by choosing Hengke New Materials, she can be closer to her parents and have a more sense of belonging.
According to a survey conducted by Zhaopin on returning to their hometown for employment, workers in the workplace have a rational understanding of returning to their hometown for employment. Nearly 90% of the discussants do not think that young people returning to their hometowns are "unpromising".
Nearly 30% of Nankai University's graduates this year chose to "return to their original places" for employment.
In fact, in recent years, the industrial environment and living environment of many non-first-tier cities and counties in China have continued to improve. At the same time, in order to attract talents to land, local governments are also increasing the benefits, and have issued favorable policies for graduates to return to their hometowns for employment and entrepreneurship, and strive to provide returnees. Township employment talents provide satisfactory work, living environment and a bright future.
