China News Service, Beijing, March 9 (Zhu Ying) How to solve the coexistence of "difficulty in finding a job" and "difficulty in recruiting workers"?

During the National Two Sessions in 2024, He Xiongbin, a representative of the National People's Congress and the director of the power workshop of Haili Guixi New Material Technology Co., Ltd., suggested further accelerating the incubation of vocational education, moving classrooms to the front line of production, and promoting school-enterprise industry-university cooperation.

  This year's government work report pointed out that it is expected that there will be more than 11.7 million college graduates this year, and policies and measures to promote youth employment should be strengthened and employment and entrepreneurship guidance services should be optimized.

As a National People's Congress representative from the production line, He Xiongbin has discovered through extensive research and visits since taking office one year ago that with the upgrading and development of industrial chains and industrial clusters, the demand for all types of talents will increase significantly, "However, "There is often a disconnect between the graduates trained by some schools and the needs of enterprises."

  He Xiongbin noticed that the problems of "difficulty in finding a job" and "difficulty in recruiting workers" coexist.

In the past two years, due to the impact of the market environment, many companies have faced difficulties in recruiting workers. The shortage of workers may become a bottleneck for corporate development now and in the future.

On the one hand, fresh graduates lag behind in their understanding of the employment situation and have high expectations for remuneration, which affects employment; on the other hand, with the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries, companies have increasingly higher requirements for employees, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand. Mismatch leads to labor shortage problem.

  "I believe that in addition to attracting outstanding talents, the more important thing is to cultivate fertile soil for talent development, give full play to the role of industries and enterprises in the reform and innovation of vocational education, promote in-depth cooperation between education and industry, schools and enterprises, and accelerate the development of vocational education , to cultivate high-quality workers and highly skilled talents." He Xiongbin said.

  He suggested that we should deepen the depth of school-enterprise cooperation, focus on cultivating various talents and industrial workers that meet the needs of enterprises, and promote the cultivation of skilled talents; guide local vocational schools and leading enterprises to jointly establish "demonstration employee training bases" and directional docking Enterprises employ and train students to improve the level of skilled talents; strengthen information exchange and resource sharing between schools and enterprises, and promote the integration of industry and education in school-enterprise cooperation.

  "For example, students can be arranged to go to local companies for internship training and move the classroom into the workshop. At the same time, model workers and technical experts in the company can also be invited to give students practical classes. Through the joint teaching of teachers and masters, classroom learning and on-the-job training can be combined Through close integration with practice, we strive to build a team of highly skilled talents." He Xiongbin said.
