Wang Yi said: In the face of fierce competition for employment, it is not only the duty of the government but also the common responsibility of all sectors of society to extensively mobilize social forces to support retired servicemen in finding employment and starting businesses. The special committee should improve its ideological position, carry out the work of employment and entrepreneurship services for retired servicemen from the height of politics and the overall situation, and help retired servicemen and their families solve practical difficulties in employment and entrepreneurship.

The series of projects will support low-risk entrepreneurship of veterans online and offline, exempt from franchise fees, brand use fees, and agency fees, help attract traffic and publicity for free, and assist in docking support policies with the local government of the project. After the launch of the platform, recruitment will also be fully open to veterans, giving priority to the placement of veterans and their families, helping to support veterans in high-quality employment, low-risk entrepreneurship, and effectively solving difficulties.
