It took five years to complete key tasks, involving about 80 million professional and technical personnel

Reform of professional titles, discussing heroes based on actual performance (policy interpretation)

  General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Central Talent Work Conference: “Talents are an important indicator to measure a country’s overall national strength. National development depends on talents, and national rejuvenation depends on talents.” The establishment of a scientific talent evaluation mechanism is essential for establishing correct employment guidance, motivating and guiding talents. It is of great significance to develop and mobilize the enthusiasm of talents to innovate and create, and to accelerate the construction of talents to make the country strong.

  Professional and technical personnel are the backbone and backbone of our country's talent team and an important force for promoting economic and social development.

A few days ago, following the issuance of the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Professional Title System for Experimental Technical Talents", all the reform guidelines for the 27 professional title series were issued, and the key tasks of the professional title system reform that lasted for 5 years have been completed.

  This is the first comprehensive and systematic reform of the current title system for more than 30 years, involving approximately 80 million professional and technical personnel. What has been changed?

After the reform, how to carry out the evaluation of professional and technical talents?

Are there any changes in the evaluation criteria and scope of the evaluation?

11 series of new senior professional titles, 13 majors added to the evaluation of professional titles

  "Express engineering and technical personnel can also evaluate job titles!" Although relevant policies have been introduced in 2019, as long as someone posts relevant content to the group, Wang Yingquan and his partners are still very excited, and they have heated discussions every time.

  "As a courier brother, we cannot directly participate in the evaluation of job titles yet, but it gives us a direction for future development." Wang Yingquan said, couriers are "youth fans" after all, and they list express engineering and technical personnel as the direction of transformation.

  One of the highlights of this reform of the professional title system is the continuous inclusion of emerging occupations into the scope of professional title evaluation.

Up to now, a total of 13 review majors have been added to the corresponding professional title series, including art and creative design, animation and games, sports protection division, and express engineering, and 113 special review majors have been added in various regions.

  For Jiang Xuemei, the surprise comes from a breakthrough in professional title level.

  "I never thought that I would still have a chance to get a senior professional title in this life." As the company's veteran accountant, Jiang Xuemei was rated a deputy senior professional title early.

But according to the past regulations, no matter how she "schedules", she can only stop at the sub-high.

  In 2019, the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the System of Professional Titles for Accountants" was issued, proposing to improve the level of professional titles for accountants and to add senior professional titles for accountants.

With the opportunity to break the "ceiling" of the title, Jiang Xuemei was once again complacent, "With a new goal in life, he will be more motivated at work, and he will feel more fulfilled after being evaluated."

  Not only accountants, another highlight of this reform of the title system is to set all title series to positive senior level.

"Specifically, the addition of 11 series of senior titles in engineering, economics, and accounting has benefited nearly 30 million professional and technical personnel." The person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs said that in 5 years, 11 new series of senior titles were set up for the first time. The increase of 66,000 senior titles has effectively increased the supply of high-level talents in my country.

Oriented by virtue, ability and performance, overcome the tendency of only academic qualifications, qualifications, thesis and awards only

  Without publishing a paper, Jiang Huasong, a teacher at Nanjing Forestry University, is still named a professor.

What he relied on was outstanding teaching performance.

  Jiang Huasong's personal experience reflects the focus of this reform of the title system—returning the job title evaluation criteria to job needs and actual contributions.

  Standards are the vane of talent development. To evaluate a talent is to set a benchmark.

With good standards, there will be an influx of talents.

For a long time, the evaluation of professional and technical talents has problems such as academic qualifications, qualifications, thesis, and awards only.

  "The reform of the title system is guided by morality, ability, and performance, shifting from'emphasis on quantity' to'emphasis on quality', focusing on solving problems such as simple quantification of evaluation standards and'one size fits all', and give full play to the role of the'baton' of talent evaluation "The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.

  ——To get rid of the academic qualification theory, the main competence level is to compete.

  The accounting, economics and other series will relax the starting point of education to high school.

In the engineering, agriculture, etc. series, those who do not have academic requirements can participate in the title review after being recommended by two or more experts in the industry.

Translation, actors, computer software and other series or majors have no requirements for academic qualifications.

"It should be said that academic qualifications are no longer an obstacle to participating in the evaluation of professional titles." The person in charge said.

  ——No longer just a few years, judge heroes based on actual achievements.

  Researchers mainly depend on whether the research results can "stand indomitable"; for health professional and technical personnel, the evaluation of clinical practice ability is mainly emphasized, and the ability to see a doctor, be able to see a doctor, and see a good disease as the main content of the evaluation of clinical medical staff's professional titles; for all kinds of teachers The teaching quality and performance are the main criteria.

  —— There is no "hard leverage" in the thesis, to get rid of the essay-only theory.

  Change the one-sided practice of using the number of papers, patents, and funds as talent evaluation criteria.

For college teachers no longer use SCI, SSCI and other paper indicators as the direct basis for pre-conditions and judgments; for health professionals, design evaluation indicators related to clinical practice, clinical medical records, surgical videos, epidemiological investigation reports, etc. The result form can replace the paper requirement.

  In addition, in order to make the evaluation of professional titles more scientific, the reform has refined the classification of professional titles and implemented classified evaluation.

Through reforms, college teachers are divided into teaching-oriented and teaching-research-oriented, among which, teaching-oriented does not impose rigid requirements on papers.

"This reform, based on professional attributes and job requirements, refines the professional classification of talents and implements classified evaluation, so as to ensure that the evaluation standards are scientific and effective." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.

Break the restrictions on household registration, region, identity, and files, and unblock the reporting channels

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, this reform will further break the restrictions of household registration, region, identity, and files, expand the scope of professional title evaluation personnel, and unblock all kinds of talent and professional title declaration channels.

  Let more professional and technical personnel of private enterprises join the title review.

In recent years, the team of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises has continued to grow, with more than 38 million professional and technical personnel in the non-public sector.

  In 2020, the "Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in Professional Titles for Private Enterprises" was issued to clear the invisible threshold for private enterprise talents to participate in the evaluation of professional titles.

The notice proposes to innovate the evaluation methods of the professional titles of private enterprises, and encourage regions with conditions to implement separate grouping and individual evaluation of professional and technical personnel of private enterprises, or organize special evaluation of private enterprises.

Establish a "green channel" or "through train" for professional title evaluation, and private enterprises can directly apply for the corresponding level of professional and technical talents, urgently needed talents, and outstanding young talents.

  Set up "overpasses" to allow more highly skilled talents to participate in the evaluation of professional titles.

During the reform process, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued opinions twice to promote the professional development of high-skilled talents and professional and technical talents, focusing on breaking the restrictions on academic qualifications, status and other conditions, encouraging high-skilled talents to participate in the evaluation of professional titles, so as to achieve the necessary and comprehensive skills. Extensive.

  As of the beginning of 2021, 1,826 highly skilled talents across the country have obtained professional titles.

Du Jun, a front-line skilled worker of the Jiu Steel Group, is the beneficiary of the policy.

He has won the honorary titles of National Model Worker, National Technical Expert, and Chinese Skills Award. At the end of December 2019, he was awarded the title of senior engineer and became the first "worker professor" in Gansu Province.

"Being rated as a'professor-level senior engineer', this is the country's emphasis on and incentives for highly skilled talents." Du Jun said.

  "The reform has established the evaluation orientation of emphasizing morality, ability, and performance through measures such as improving the system, improving evaluation standards, innovating evaluation mechanisms, and expanding the scope of evaluation. , Fully stimulated the vitality of professional and technical talents' innovation and entrepreneurship." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that in the future, the reform of the professional title system will be unswervingly promoted in depth.

On the one hand, with the focus on supporting the digital economy, we will continue to expand new occupations, gradually include mature new occupations in the scope of job title review, and unblock the career development channels for new professional talents.

On the other hand, with the goal of promoting high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance, we will continue to improve the new professional title evaluation standards, comprehensively and accurately reflect the innovation level of professional and technical talents, and encourage more talents to devote themselves to technological innovation and technological research.

At the same time, we will continue to improve the new model of professional title review services, further deepen the reform of "delegating management and service", strengthen the construction of systematic style, and create a good environment that is conducive to stimulating talent innovation.
