"The firefighting facility operator can earn tens of thousands a year." "Family education instructors work online, with free time and stable income." Occupational anxiety and certificate benefits have fueled the "certification economy" in the field of technical skills.
At the same time, the training, evaluation, issuance and other links of such certificates are frequent, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of the masses and disrupting the normal order of the market.
Packaged? Lie to earn? Carefully fall into the pit
Mr. Liu, who works in Guangzhou, recently encountered a bad thing.
Seeing that the child is about to go to school, he is still seventy or eighty minutes away from settling down.
Introduced by a friend, he first spent 6,800 yuan to sign up for a general class for research in a company that settled on an agency basis.
The company's consultant suggested that he learn to be a system integration project management engineer, "one certificate can make up all the points for settlement".
Mr. Liu has no relevant work experience and knowledge reserves, so he hesitates to apply for the exam.
The consultant said that you can spend more than 30,000 yuan to upgrade to the VIP class, and you can "cover it" if you don't understand.
On the eve of the exam, Mr. Liu, who was upgraded to the VIP class, received the "answer" sent by the consultant through a special communication software, and was told to keep it secret, "it is best to remember it".
Mr. Liu was full of confidence, but the final score was zero.
The consultant's explanation was that "someone was caught cheating and the answer was invalid".
After negotiation, the company refunded Mr. Liu's VIP class fee.
"It took a year of tossing around and nothing was resolved," he said.
Coincidentally, recently, an online advertisement of 200,000 yuan for a carbon emission manager to "lie down" attracted many people to sign up and pay the fee, but then the advertisement sender disappeared collectively.
In fact, this occupation is not included in the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog", and the "Post and Telecommunications Talent Exchange Center", which has issued certificates, has not filed with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. Consumers are lured into the trap of copycat certificates.
Not long ago, the relevant departments investigated and shut down two copycat websites that were seeking profits under the guise of "professional qualifications".
One of these two websites faked the name and unit logo of "China Personnel Examination Network", and the website and content were highly similar to the official website of the Personnel Examination Center; the other faked the website of "National Professional and Technical Talents Network", which illegally used the national emblem and marked "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has filed for record." "Deceptive words such as "official certification" plagiarize the main responsibilities of the personnel examination center and relevant information about the internal institutions.
One skill certificate, many fake tricks
The technical skills certificate is not only a symbol of the professional ability of workers, but also an effective proof of the implementation of government policies and treatment.
However, some units and institutions have illegally organized training, evaluation, and certificate issuance through fraudulent advertising, certificate fraud, training fraud and other routines, and are suspected of deception and fraud.
First, false propaganda, exaggeration, cheating.
"No threshold", "professional title", "high subsidy", "high income"... These advertising words are false and exaggerated marketing words of some institutions, aiming to falsely promote the gold content of certificates.
Some even use the name of an administrative agency, or take advantage of the period of institutional reform and transition and improvement of the system, to deliberately register and use the name of the original government agency to confuse the public.
He Xiuwen, deputy director of the Guangdong Vocational Skills Service Guidance Center, introduced that similar methods are used to confuse the masses by using "original ××× department" and "authoritative certificates", "official certification", "employment certificate" and "employment basis".
Second, something is created out of nothing, and the "Li Gui" certificate is a fake.
Imitation of "cost engineer" to fabricate "cost engineer", and create their own occupations such as "missile maintenance engineer", "force political engineer", "police manager", "narcotics engineer"... In the case reported by Guangdong Province, there is a certain occupational skill The identification limited liability company issued the above-mentioned "registered vocational qualification certificates" in the name of "XX National Vocational Qualification Examination Certification Center", but these are not professional qualification certificates recognized by the state, and the issuing agency is not a professional skill filed by the Human Resources and Social Security Department. rating agency.
In the name of new occupational qualifications, occupational skill levels, etc., these institutions forged certificates, issued certificates indiscriminately, and illegally used relevant words and logos, as well as words, patterns, and watermarks that were easily ambiguous and misleading.
According to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, my country implements list management of vocational qualifications. The 2021 edition of the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog" adds 72 new vocational qualifications, all of which specify the implementing departments or units. The establishment and implementation of professional qualifications shall not be carried out in disguised form to carry out qualification licensing and certification.
The third is to make money by drawing cakes and training to "sell dog meat with sheep's heads".
Some institutions do not have any vocational training qualifications, but they advertise that they recruit students to obtain various professional certificates, conspire to organize fake training, fabricate fake application materials, and collude to implement fake examinations.
Some institutions also "draw a big cake", claiming that after successful research, they will also provide follow-up services such as certificate affiliation and part-time work in the unit, and they will be linked to each other to induce the purchase of upgrade services.
Improve the evaluation and supervision system
In recent years, people's demand for skills certificates has increased for the purposes of settlement, children's enrollment, employment, promotion and salary increase.
At the same time, during the transition period when old occupations quit and new occupations frequently appeared, some new occupational standards or evaluation norms were not formed.
As a result, illegal institutions exploited the loopholes and took advantage of the untimely opportunity of some people's information to organize training, evaluations, and issue relevant certificates in violation of regulations.
According to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, at present, there are 4 types of officially recognized technical skills certificates, mainly professional and technical personnel vocational qualification certificates, national vocational qualification certificates, vocational skill grade certificates and special vocational ability certificates.
Human resources and social security departments at all levels have announced the styles, differences, and inquiry methods of relevant formal certificates, as well as the methods of complaining and reporting clues about fake certificates. If there are problems, they can be reported in time.
Zou Weidong, the relevant person in charge of the Internet Information Office of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, said that the Internet information department is supervising the in-depth self-inspection of the territorial website platform, and focusing on cleaning up the relevant logo information for illegal use.
Continue to increase the interception of external chain information and pop-up information of fake certificates, and strictly control related promotion information.
At the same time, the responsibility of the platform will be consolidated, and the certification mechanism and auditing efforts will be strengthened.
In recent years, my country has successively cancelled more than 400 vocational qualifications, and delegated the function of vocational skill level recognition to employers and social training evaluation organizations registered with the human resources and social security department.
Yang Hongshan, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, said that the next step will be to establish a "blacklist" system for training evaluation institutions, build a provincial vocational skills training evaluation information management system, strengthen the supervision of the whole process of training and evaluation, and establish a long-term supervision mechanism.
At the same time, in the face of diversified and new-type occupational market demands, the formulation, adjustment and optimization of supporting relevant policies also need to be accelerated.
Experts believe that in addition to guiding the market to provide a variety of training services, it can also play the role of associations and alliances, strengthen industry self-discipline, create a healthy employment and training environment for workers, and better improve self-competitiveness.
