"Hello, I’m Lao Dong. Pay attention to Lao Dong and not get lost. " Since March this year, Southwest Jiaotong University’s series of short videos of "Old Dong of Employment Office" have been "on fire" in bilibili. Teacher Dong Pengfei and his colleagues from the School Admissions and Employment Office visited enterprises on the spot and invited human resources leaders to communicate. Starting with short videos that young people are willing to accept, they used humorous language to answer many questions that students encountered in postgraduate entrance examination, employment and internship, and gained a lot of praise and forwarding.
This is an innovative measure for Southwest Jiaotong University to face the "big exam" of employment. This year, the number of college graduates in China has reached a record high, and the employment pressure of graduates has increased. Southwest Jiaotong University has taken various measures to seize the critical period of graduates’ job hunting and carry out employment guidance in a down-to-earth manner, which has effectively promoted graduates to achieve fuller and higher-quality employment.
Four-level linkage, in-depth excavation of post resources
On April 27th, the scene of Southwest Jiaotong University graduates’ employment double election was crowded, and students in formal clothes actively learned about the enterprise and submitted resumes. Wang Shunhong, secretary of the Party Committee of the school, and Yang Dan, president of the school, also came to the site of the double election meeting to learn about the needs of employers and the problems encountered by the students in the process of job hunting.
"If you want what students think, be anxious about what students are anxious about, do your best to participate in the employment recommendation of graduates and strive to improve the employment quality of graduates." At the scene of the double election meeting, Wang Shunhong said emotionally.
Employment is a big deal. In order to promote employment, Southwest Jiaotong University has established a four-level employment linkage mechanism of "secretary, principal and other school leaders+college leaders+counselors+student employment liaison".
School secretaries, principals and other members of the leadership actively carry out the action of "the secretary and principals visit enterprises to expand their posts", fully mobilize the resources of teaching, scientific research, alumni and other parties, take the initiative to deepen cooperation and exchanges between schools and enterprises with employers, sign strategic cooperation agreements, and establish a long-term mechanism for the docking of supply and demand of talents between schools and enterprises. Since the spring semester this year, members of the school leadership team have taken the lead in going deep into local governments and enterprises to carry out school-enterprise cooperation, exchanges and field visits, and have now carried out docking activities with more than 70 enterprises.
The leaders of secondary colleges also took active actions, extensively contacted employers and actively recommended graduates. As the "front-line personnel" who directly face graduates’ employment, counselors accurately meet students’ needs, listen to students’ voices, and take the initiative to answer graduates’ job-hunting puzzles and handle employment-related procedures.
In addition, the school has established four graduate job-seeking information release groups of "engineering", "liberal arts", "science" and "life science", and the student employment liaison officers of each class are responsible for putting the job-seeking information into the class groups. Fast and accurate linkage provides graduates with fast and efficient employment services.
"This year, most recent graduates of our school have joined enterprises and institutions in the fields of rail transit construction, vehicle development and railway operation management." Chen Yanfeng, director of the school’s Admissions and Employment Department, said that the school pays attention to guiding graduates to actively serve the national strategy and closely combines personal career choices with the needs of national development.
Accurate docking, solidly improve the efficiency of job hunting
"Both epidemic prevention and control and employment security must be grasped!" While strengthening epidemic prevention and control, Southwest Jiaotong University held six medium-sized on-site double elections from April 27th to May 28th. A total of 230 households participated in the conference, providing more than 6,900 jobs, so that unemployed graduates can complete their applications in the shortest time.
While conducting on-site double-election meetings offline, the school also makes full use of social resources, strives to build an aerial application platform and expand employment channels. At present, 146 aerial job fairs and 10 aerial double elections have been held, and 2,872 recruitment messages have been released, which greatly improved the efficiency of graduates’ job hunting.
In view of some graduates’ unclear job-seeking objectives, the school actively collects students’ job-seeking intentions, recommends graduates to employers through various channels, and employers actively contact students. Huang Chunrong, deputy director of the school’s Admissions and Employment Department, said: "Up to now, we have recommended 425 students to 320 family units."
Since May, Southwest Jiaotong University has successively signed cooperation agreements with Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, and Yixing City, Jiangsu Province to jointly establish talent workstations and strive to build a talent delivery platform for the school. At present, the school has established 10 talent workstations with various provinces and cities, and has maintained good cooperative relations with talent service agencies in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other provinces, and regularly carried out activities such as job recommendation and aerial double elections.
As the only subordinate university in Sichuan Province that has been approved as the national graduate employability training base of Hongzhi Navigation Aid Program, Southwest Jiaotong University also undertakes the task of improving the employability of 700 students this year, from job preparation to signing employment. While strengthening the prevention and control of epidemic situation, the school actively invites employers to come to the school to carry out offline recruitment, so as to bridge the gap between undergraduate and junior college graduates and promote employment.
Careful assistance, practical and detailed employment guidance
"Before that, I really hesitated to go to the engineering unit." In this job-hunting season, various colleges of Southwest Jiaotong University have organized activities such as visiting enterprises and studying abroad. During the activities, Wang Yongzhen, a graduate of Civil Engineering College, learned about the real enterprise environment, changed his impression of the engineering unit, submitted his resume on his own initiative, and finally chose Northwest Company of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau in many employment notices.
In view of some graduates’ "slow employment" mentality, confused job-seeking objectives, and insufficient job-seeking ability, Southwest Jiaotong University has made joint efforts at two levels to do a good job in employment guidance and assistance.
The series of videos of "Old Dong in Employment Office" is an innovative move for the school to do practical employment guidance. At present, "Old Dong of Employment Office" has uploaded 17 short videos, which have been widely forwarded by various universities and local talent service institutions, and many ordinary netizens have also praised and participated in the discussion. The school also launched a series of activities to enhance the employability of "one job with you, realizing your dream and career path", hired the person in charge of recruitment by the employer as an "off-campus career tutor", set up a career counseling room in the student dormitory area, and conducted "one-on-one" counseling activities twice a week … …
"We hope that every graduate can achieve high-quality employment." Huang Chunrong said that the school has carried out the "six advances" of employment guidance "into the branch, dormitory, family, cloud, classroom and enterprise" to guide graduates to correctly understand the employment situation and establish a correct concept of occupation, employment and job choice.
The College of Civil Engineering held a lecture hall on "Red Earth" and invited Lu Chunfang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, to give a keynote speech on "Promoting the Spirit of Qinghai-Tibet Railway"; The College of Earth Sciences and Environmental Engineering invited experts and alumni who participated in the first-line construction in sichuan-tibet railway to share the stories of participating in key projects. The school vigorously publicizes the advanced deeds of alumni such as Zhou Invent, winner of the National May 1st Labor Medal, and Long Bin, winner of the May 4th Medal of Chinese Youth … … The mental journey of role models invisibly guides students to establish a correct view of employment and correctly understand the law of career growth.
"We consider and improve employment in the whole system engineering of talent training, and promote the continuous and long-term improvement of students’ employment quality." Yang Aihua, deputy secretary of the school party committee, said.
