How can a small company issue thousands of qualification certificates?
In order to avoid supervision and cross-regional, cross-field training and certification, it is accused of confusing concepts and randomly issuing "copycat certificates"
Recently, Jiangsu Yingcai Vocational Skills Appraisal Co., Ltd. was accused of randomly distributing vocational qualification certificates, which seriously disrupted the evaluation market of technical and skilled talents and caused heated discussions in public opinion.
The reporter's field visit found that the company has only 2 offices with more than 20 people working, but it has developed 1,730 vocational qualification examination projects, claiming that it has issued 1.28 million certificates.
Third-party certification agency Elite Company
There is a "five false and one true" problem
Yingcai Company claims to be the earliest and largest third-party certification organization in China.
Wang Qingyun, the legal representative of Yingcai, said that the company goes to the market supervision department for filing every year, and the "general business items" of the business license applied for contain professional skills appraisal, and there is no "licensed business item", so there is no need to file with the human resources and social security department.
In response to Wang Qingyun's remarks, the relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security said that the filing of market entities with the Market Supervision Bureau is different from the filing with the industry competent authority.
In addition, the "JYPC National Vocational Qualification Examination Certification Center" issued by Yingcai is only a web page, and the registration or filing information cannot be inquired by the market supervision department and the civil affairs department, and it is not a physical institution.
According to the relevant regulations of the state, a vocational qualification certificate is a certificate that shows that a worker has the necessary knowledge, technology and ability to engage in a certain occupation.
In 2017, with the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released the National Vocational Qualifications Catalog to the public. No professional qualifications shall be licensed or recognized outside the catalog, and all occupations in the catalog shall not be linked to employment and entrepreneurship, except for entry-level vocational qualifications.
In November 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, together with the relevant departments of the State Council, will optimize and adjust the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog" and release a new version of the catalog, which contains a total of 72 vocational qualifications; and clarifies the corresponding implementing departments or units. Or the unit shall not set up and implement professional qualifications (including access and level evaluation professional qualifications) by itself, shall not carry out qualification licensing and certification in disguise, and shall not carry out relevant activities under the name of professional qualifications.
"The problem of Yingcai is 'five fakes and one real', that is, fake institutions, fake cooperation, fake publicity, fake certificates, fake qualifications, and real profit." The relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security said that Yingcai intentionally confuses professional qualifications The difference between certification and vocational skill level recognition is to carry out qualification licensing and recognition in disguise.
The Vocational Skills Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security stated that Yingcai issued certificates with the words "national" and "professional qualifications" and the national emblem, which violated the regulations on social organizations such as industry associations, chambers of commerce, and enterprises and institutions according to market needs. For evaluation activities, the certificate shall not use words such as "People's Republic of China", "Country", "Nationwide", "Professional Qualification", "Personnel Qualification" and the relevant provisions of the national emblem.
Violation of professional qualification certification
has been named many times
The reporter noticed that since 2011, the Vocational Skills Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and some media have repeatedly named and exposed Yingcai Company for illegally carrying out vocational qualification certification.
But what is puzzling is that the company continues to operate today.
The reporter's recent field visit found that Yingcai Company is located in an office building in the Xinjiekou business district of Nanjing City, with only 2 offices and more than 20 people working there.
Wang Qingyun said that Yingcai was registered and established in 1999. It is one of the few large-scale third-party certification institutions in the industry. It has developed 1,730 vocational qualification examination projects, and has cooperated with more than 500 units for a long time, involving 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Occupational Skills Appraisal Center of the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Jiangsu Province, the National Occupational Classification Ceremony jointly issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other ministries and commissions has standardized the naming of occupational names, while many occupational names in the certificates issued by Yingcai are counterfeit, such as "cost of construction". Teacher" imitates "cost engineer".
In addition, Yingcai also made up their own professional names, such as "missile maintenance engineer", "force political worker", "police manager" and "narcotics engineer".
The relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security said that Yingcai Company carried out training and certification across regions and fields to avoid supervision.
The company conducts business through authorization in many places across the country. Many of the cooperative units are local vocational colleges, and few of them conduct business in Jiangsu, intending to evade the supervision of the local and human and social departments.
Judging from the judgment documents of the company involved in the lawsuit, it can often only be traced back to third parties who cooperated in other places.
"They are very good at exploiting legal loopholes, playing edge balls, and carefully designed a 'firewall', which brings great difficulties to investigation and evidence collection."
The reporter learned that the examination fee for compliance skills appraisal institutions registered with government departments generally does not exceed 500 yuan, while the examination fees charged by Yingcai Company are mostly more than 1,000 yuan, and some are as high as tens of thousands of yuan.
The company claims to have issued 1.28 million certificates. Even if it is calculated at an average of 1,000 yuan per certificate, the income is nearly 1.3 billion yuan.
An investigation by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security found that Yingcai still sold certificates without examination and training.
Recently, a Nanjing citizen did not participate in any training and examination of Yingcai Company, and spent 1,400 yuan to directly purchase a senior electrical and electrical engineer registration professional qualification certificate and a national professional quality grade certificate through the company's official website. "National Vocational Qualification Examination Certification Center" seal.
The reporter learned that the Jiangsu Provincial Market Supervision Bureau is conducting an investigation into the related issues of Yingcai Company.
Intensify efforts to rectify the "copycat certificate"
The industry recommends multi-department joint punishment
In March of this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued a document stating that recently, some institutions and units have held training, evaluation, and certification activities at will in the name of new occupational qualifications and occupational skill levels, charging arbitrary fees and issuing certificates indiscriminately; The unit's false or exaggerated propaganda, or even the organization of training, evaluation, and certificate issuance in the name of an authoritative organization, has received strong reactions from the society.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is carrying out special governance on the technical skills "copycat certificate".
The relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security believes that the evaluation of technical and technical talents in the market is confusing, and "Li Kui quits and Li Gui runs rampant" is not conducive to stabilizing employment, and policy publicity and guidance should be strengthened to prevent false news and false certificates from misleading the masses.
The formal and verification channels for training certification should be clarified, and the list of training institutions should be publicly released and dynamically adjusted to facilitate social supervision, improve transparency, and reduce information asymmetry.
Industry insiders suggested that the relevant departments of Jiangsu Province should earnestly assume the main responsibility and strengthen the linkage of departments to increase the crackdown.
For those who violate the regulations, they will be included in credit management, implemented a "blacklist" system, and multi-departmental joint punishment will change the current problems of low illegal cost and insufficient restraint.
At the same time, improve laws and regulations, reduce regulatory loopholes, clarify the legal responsibilities of unrecorded assessment and appraisal institutions, and whether registered web pages and screen names can carry out civil activities.
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that the current employment situation is grim, and it is precisely by taking advantage of job seekers' "examination anxiety" that some institutions make room for the proliferation of "copycat certificates".
He suggested that job seekers and employers should improve their awareness of discrimination, distinguish between vocational qualification certificates and skill level certificates, and identify compliance agencies and verification channels.
