　　First of all, I personally think that the wedding industry is a happy industry, it is an industry full of love, so from the perspective of the industry itself, its prospects are very broad, so whether it is the needs of our newcomers, including our elderly , Our children, it is an industry that grows with people's life, so from the perspective of future employment and student growth, it is a very practical, and we have done some marketing before starting this major. Research, so it was in (20)15 that this major was opened for the first time in Southwest China. In the past few years, our overall enrollment situation is very good.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, fewer and fewer people are getting married. According to the "Marriage Industry Observation" data, the national marriage registration data in 2021 will be 7.636 million pairs, a year-on-year decrease of 6.3%; this has also hit a new low since 1986, only 56.6% of the peak in 2013.

In this regard, Gao Yuan also admitted that the epidemic has an impact on the employment of students. Compared with the main line of wedding celebrations in the early stage, the employment direction after the epidemic will be flexibly oriented to services such as hotel management and exhibition planning, as well as industries related to the content of professional courses. , there are still many opportunities for students of this major to choose careers.

　　At present, we mainly focus on the wedding and celebration industry, so in the past, for example, before the epidemic occurred, our entire employment situation was very good.

So after the epidemic, we have made some adjustments in the direction of employment. In addition to our wedding celebration industry, we will also provide some hotel management and exhibition planning services, etc., as long as the industry is related to services and celebrations. All of our students can be engaged, including us (students) who have learned some wedding hand-painting, which is our art painting-related skills, then some students can enter some design-related companies, which can expand them employment direction.

　　[Explanation] Yang Penghui, a student of the school, graduated in 2020 and is currently working in a theme wedding hotel.

He told reporters that the current wedding market lacks professional talents. Under the influence of the epidemic, the wedding industry has gradually begun to transform, no longer sticking to traditional and complicated wedding ceremonies, but choosing a more flexible and efficient auditorium form.

　　Because in terms of marriage, it is just a need for Chinese people. In recent years, it has been at least two to five years, which is a relatively advantageous industry.

And like many weddings now, we are doing transformation, not only for weddings, but also for many of our related industries, such as our dresses, wedding photos, and our wedding candy and happy products. These are all connected in series. We are all in the same industry chain.
