Chapter 228 Employment of College Students

Some of the leaders' inspections are going through the motions, some are for the purpose of understanding the situation, and some are aimed at solving problems.

Judging from Jiang Hui's inspection of Mayor Wang and his entourage today, on the one hand, it is estimated that he wants to understand the situation, and on the other hand, it is estimated that there are any preferential support policies to be introduced or fall on Jianghui Technology-related enterprises. In short, today's expedition should be a good thing.

"Xiao Jiang, what you say is too modest, if you want me to see, you are the soul of the Guanghui Group, without you, there would be no intranet and no Guanghui game. In the past few years, colleges and universities began to expand their enrollment, and now the employment pressure is slowly reflected. You were able to start your own business while you were in college, which not only solved your own employment problems, but also attracted a large number of interns and employees to work, setting a good example for college students in the new era," said Mayor Wang.

The expansion of college enrollment, also known as university expansion or college student expansion, refers to the educational reform policy of the Celestial Empire since 1999 to expand the number of students enrolled in ordinary colleges and universities based on solving economic and employment problems. Later, after entering 2008, the Ministry of Education said that the expansion of enrollment that began in 1999 was too impatient and gradually controlled the expansion ratio, but in the context of the global financial crisis in 2009, the Ministry of Education began to adjust the proportion of graduate students.

This massive expansion has led to a decline in the quality of teaching in colleges and universities, and the quality of college students is also declining, but this policy has indeed alleviated some of the employment problems, as you can see from the following set of figures.

In 1999, the enrollment was 1.6 million in the first year of the expansion, an increase of 520,000 or 48 percent over 1998.

2000: 1.8 million admitted

2001: 2.6 million people enrolled

2002: 3.2 million people enrolled

2003: 3.82 million enrolled

2004: 4.2 million enrolled

In the following years, it will continue to increase rapidly, until nearly 10 million new students are enrolled every year, and the number of college students in the Celestial Empire will quickly become the largest in the world.

The expansion of enrollment has effectively increased the admission rate of high schools, improved the quality of the people, postponed the time of initial employment, and promoted the rapid development of the education industry. However, while the expansion of enrollment has led to a decline in the quality of teaching, it has also brought about new employment problems for college students.

Since 2003, when the first batch of college students entered the society, the employment of college students has become a topic of concern for the whole society, and it is no wonder that Mayor Wang will mention this stubble today. Since less than 10 years after the abolition of the allocation of college student packages, the expanded college students have entered the job market, and objectively, the expansion policy has distorted the supply and demand system of college graduates, which has directly led to the decline in the employment rate and salary of college students. In addition to the huge demand for employment, the decline in the quality of education caused by the expansion of enrollment, the unreasonable structure of majors and courses, and the unsuitability of market demand have also become a major reason for the difficulty of college students in finding employment. As a city with a dense concentration of colleges and universities, the employment problem of college students is more prominent.

"The issue of employment is indeed a headache for all governments, and it is also a goal for me to create employment opportunities for more college students. In fact, I personally believe that the Internet industry is an industry that is more suitable for college students to start a business, and the threshold is relatively not so high, but the space for development is very broad. At present, there are close to 1,000 regular employees and interns in Jianghui Group's affiliated enterprises, and I expect that the number will exceed 2,000 by the end of this year, and the number will continue to exceed 5,000 and 10,000 in the future. Most of the people we recruit are university graduates, and if more companies like Korn Ferry Group does, then it can effectively alleviate the employment pressure," Jiang Hui said.

"I came to inspect today, mainly to learn about the situation of college students' entrepreneurship, to see if it is necessary to encourage more college students and fresh graduates to start their own businesses. Xiao Jiang, you can continue to talk about your understanding of this issue, I am very interested," said Mayor Wang.

"First of all, I think that Mayor Wang, I personally support, encourage and support college students to start their own businesses. As China's young senior intellectuals, college students have a relatively rich knowledge reserve and creativity that are lacking compared with other senior intellectuals, and encouraging them to start a business can not only solve some employment problems, but also create a number of innovative enterprises, especially the Internet industry, which has developed relatively late, and the gap between domestic and foreign countries is relatively small, which is an industry full of imagination and a promising industry," Jiang Hui said.

"Is there anything you think needs to be paid attention to?" said Mayor Wang.

"Of course, there are, due to the lack of social experience of college students, they are often blindly optimistic and do not have sufficient psychological preparation. For the setbacks and failures in entrepreneurship, many entrepreneurs feel very painful, dazed, and even depressed. Everyone has started a business before, and what they have seen are successful examples, and their mentality is naturally idealistic. In fact, behind the success, there are more failures. We must give more guidance in this regard, so that entrepreneurs can see success and failure, which is the real market. In addition, college students are prone to rush to start a business, lack market awareness and business management experience, which affects the success of college students' entrepreneurship. After all, although students have mastered a certain amount of book knowledge, they lack the necessary practical ability and management experience. In addition, due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of marketing and other aspects, it is difficult for college students to be qualified for the role of business managers all at once. It is necessary to give some guidance on these contents," Jiang Hui said.

In fact, there are many problems that Jiang Hui did not say, such as college students who like superstitious theoretical models when starting businesses, and often have a tendency to talk on paper. Many economic theories have been put forward by Western economists, and any theory has its boundaries and scope of application, especially in the initial stage of the market economy in the transition period of the Celestial Empire, in the face of the extremely complex reality of business ecology, it is obviously not possible to apply the Western economic model step by step. However, today, Jiang Hui mainly wants the government to support and encourage college students to start their own businesses, so he didn't say so many questions.

"These questions are all very true, but we can't just see that there is a problem and stop doing things. Xiao Jiang, we will fully consider the content you mentioned when formulating relevant policies in the future," said Mayor Wang.

After about 40 minutes of communication in the conference room, according to the plan, I was almost ready to visit the office, and then went to the thirteenth floor for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
