Interpret the "three support and one support" plan for college graduates in 2024
In order to further promote the employment of college graduates, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, together with relevant departments, recently implemented the 2024 "Three Branches and One Support" plan, recruiting 34,430 college graduates across the country to engage in services such as teaching, agriculture, medicine and rural revitalization at the grassroots level.
Up to now, more than 10 provinces such as Guangdong, Shandong, Hubei, Anhui and Yunnan have issued recruitment announcements. How do I register? How are you treated? "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters interviewed authoritative departments.
Which graduates will be skewed for the quota?
The "Three Branches and One Support" plan is a demonstration project jointly implemented by relevant departments to guide and encourage college graduates to work at the grassroots level, with a service period of 2 years.
"According to the notice issued by us in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance recently, the number of people recruited by the central government to support the recruitment of 'three branches and one support' this year has increased by 1.3% compared with last year." Zhang Wenmiao, Director of the Department of Human Resources Mobility Management of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, introduced.
According to the notice, this year's recruitment plan is tilted towards poverty alleviation areas, northeast regions, border areas, ethnic areas, and old revolutionary areas. Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Hubei are supported by the central government to recruit the largest number of "three branches and one support", with 2,000 or more people; It is followed by Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan, all of which are close to 2,000 people. Overall, the recruitment plan will focus on the central and western regions, which will reach 84.3% of the total.
The reporter noted that in order to better meet the needs of graduates, this year, the provinces issued the "three branches and one support" recruitment announcement and the time of organizing the examination, which was significantly earlier than in previous years, and the actual number of recruits in some provinces also increased.
Liu Shiming, director of the Human Resources Market Division of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, told reporters: "Combined with the 'high-quality development project of 100 counties, 100 towns and 100 villages' being implemented in Guangdong Province, on the basis of the recruitment plan issued by the state, Guangdong Province has appropriately expanded the recruitment scale of 'three branches and one support', and recruits about 3,000 graduates every year in recent years." ”
From the perspective of application conditions, most provinces require fresh college graduates or college graduates within three years of graduation, and some provinces will include graduates of senior engineering classes and preparatory technician classes in technical colleges and universities. In view of the difficulty in recruiting medical personnel, there is no limit to the number of years of graduation for medical positions in Hubei Province, and there will be no proportion of medical positions in Anhui, Yunnan and other provinces.
The circular requires that all localities reasonably set up recruitment conditions, and that difficult and remote areas where it is difficult to recruit and retain people can appropriately relax professional requirements and reduce the proportion of examinations. Priority will be given to recruiting graduates from poverty-stricken families, low-income families, and zero-employment families, and medical support positions will be tilted towards medical graduates who have participated in standardized training.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that up to now, about 10 provinces across the country have completed the registration and are stepping up the organization of examinations, and 8 provinces such as Inner Mongolia and Henan will issue recruitment announcements in the near future. According to the arrangement, all localities will complete the recruitment and selection work by the end of August, and the new recruits will take up their posts in early September.
What is the treatment and guarantee of grassroots posts?
What are the grassroots positions included in this year's "three branches and one support" plan?
According to the notice, all localities will focus on the development of urgently needed jobs for the development of grassroots undertakings, and expand service positions such as rural construction assistants, agricultural technology promotion, water conservancy infrastructure construction and operation management, forest and grass ecological protection and restoration, and medical and health care. Judging from the announcements that have been issued, the recruitment units mainly include township people's governments, health centers, agricultural technology stations, water conservancy stations, primary and secondary schools, and so on.
The personnel of the "three branches and one support" are generally arranged to serve in the township grassroots units. All localities will be recommended to serve as deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of grass-roots units, assistant to the head of the river (lake and forest), assistant to the director of the agricultural technical service station (institute), assistant to the director of the forest farm (station), assistant to the director of the grass-roots supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., and encourage graduates to participate in the construction of major projects and key tasks at the grass-roots level, and to grow up in promoting grass-roots research and solving practical problems in development.
"Our town will arrange 2 to 3 'three branches and one support' places this year, all of which are agricultural support positions. With the acceleration of rural revitalization, the technical requirements for grassroots work have become higher, and new requirements have been put forward for the quality of cadres. There is a great need for young people with ideas and enthusiasm to join them. Liu Yiyong, mayor of Shichuan Town, Gaolan County, Gansu Province, said.
The notice clearly states that in 2024, the central government will support the special training of 8,000 people for the "three branches and one support" personnel; At the same time, all localities should actively coordinate with relevant departments to include the "three branches and one support" personnel in the scope of talent training in the corresponding industries; They are encouraged to participate in professional qualification examinations during their service periods, and can participate in the evaluation of professional titles in accordance with regulations.
According to the reporter's understanding, in 2023, a total of 1.15 million people across the country will apply for the "Three Branches and One Support" plan, with an average examination ratio of 26.3:1.
How about the service guarantee at the grassroots level?
The standard of working and living allowance for the personnel of the "three branches and one support" shall be determined in accordance with the salary level of the newly hired personnel from the local township organs or public institutions from college graduates. The central government will provide subsidies of 12,000 yuan per person per year in the eastern region, 24,000 yuan in the central region, 30,000 yuan in the western region (40,000 yuan in Tibet and southern Xinjiang), and a one-time settling-in allowance of 3,000 yuan per person.
Since 2021, the central government has invested a total of 5.4 billion yuan, with the active support of local finance, and dynamically adjusted the subsidy standard for "three branches and one support" personnel, with the per capita annual subsidy of more than 60,000 yuan in most provinces. In addition, grassroots employers will also provide accommodation, transportation and other conveniences.
What are the development support policies for the expiration of the service period?
What measures are in place to support the development of graduates after the 2-year service period?
According to reports, about 10% of the examination plan for civil servants below the provincial level has been set aside to recruit personnel serving grassroots projects such as the "three branches and one support" plan. When county and township grass-roots institutions open recruitment, take out a certain number or proportion of posts, and carry out special recruitment for those who have passed the assessment at the end of the service period of the "three branches and one support", and increase the weight of work performance in the inspection, and no longer agree on a probationary period after hiring. When provincial and municipal institutions are openly recruited, under the same conditions, priority will be given to hiring personnel who have passed the assessment at the end of the service period of "three branches and one support".
"After two years of training, the personnel of the 'three branches and one support' are familiar with the situation at the grassroots level, have mastered certain methods of mass work, and can quickly adapt to the work if they stay at the grassroots level. Our main policy orientation to promote the development of the mobility of people who have expired is to actively create conditions for them to take root at the grassroots level and actively work and start businesses. By the end of 2023, about 90% of those who have completed their term of employment will be employed, and about 70% will remain at the grassroots level, retaining urgently needed young talents for the grassroots frontline. Zhang Wenmiao said.
Since the implementation of the fourth round of the "Three Branches and One Support" plan in 2021, 121,700 graduates have been selected to serve at the grassroots level across the country.
This reporter has learned that when public institutions in various localities conduct special recruitment, their practices are different according to the actual situation at the grassroots level. About 10 provinces, such as Anhui and Gansu, adopt the method of inspection and employment of the "three branches and one support" personnel who have completed their service and passed the assessment, and the personnel who have passed the assessment after the service period have directly stayed in the original service unit.
In order to support the "three branches and one support" personnel who have completed their service to continue their studies, the policy stipulates that they will participate in the national master's admission examination within 3 years, and the total score of the preliminary examination will be increased by 10 points, and priority will be given to admission under the same conditions.
This year's circular also specifically emphasizes that we should make every effort to do a good job in the employment service of those who have completed their service period, unblock the channels for the retention of grassroots service units, and take multiple measures to promote the "three branches and one support" personnel to take root at the grassroots level and grow into talents. It is required to organize and carry out special recruitment activities, and encourage grassroots units of state-owned enterprises to give priority to recruiting personnel who have completed their service periods, and can enjoy targeted employment services, entrepreneurship training and incubation when they are self-employed and start a business.

The following notice is hereby given on doing a good job of the relevant work.
1. Coordinate the development of service positions. Implement the rural revitalization strategy and the strategic deployment of major regional development strategies, and the recruitment plan is tilted towards poverty alleviation areas, northeast regions, border areas, ethnic areas, and old revolutionary areas, and the key counties for national rural revitalization are separately listed. Closely follow the needs of the grassroots, focus on the development of grassroots undertakings urgently needed positions, and expand rural construction assistants, agricultural technology promotion, water conservancy infrastructure construction and operation management, forest and grass ecological protection and restoration, medical and health services and other service positions.

In 2024, the central government will support the recruitment of 34,430 personnel for the "three branches and one support", and where conditions permit, the scale of recruitment can be appropriately expanded in combination with the actual needs of the grassroots and the employment situation of those who have completed their service period, and provinces with an employment rate of less than 90% by the end of the year of those who have completed their service in 2023 shall not expand their enrollment in principle.
2. Strictly regulate recruitment and selection. Provincial-level human resources and social security departments should uniformly organize recruitment and selection work, and publicly release recruitment announcements through multiple channels. Reasonable recruitment conditions should be set up, and difficult and remote areas where it is difficult to recruit and retain people can appropriately relax professional requirements, reduce the proportion of examinations, and increase the proportion of graduates with local household registration. Priority will be given to recruiting graduates from poverty-stricken families, low-income families, and zero-employment families, and medical support positions will be tilted towards medical graduates who have participated in standardized training. Adhere to the principles of openness, equality, and competition and merit, improve the recruitment and selection system, ensure the safety of examinations, and resolutely put an end to unhealthy trends. Careful organization and careful arrangement to ensure that the recruitment and selection work is completed before the end of August, and the new recruits will be on duty at the beginning of September.
3. Vigorously strengthen education and training. In-depth implementation of the "three support and one support" personnel capacity improvement plan, improve the education and training system throughout the service cycle, strengthen pre-job, on-the-job and off-the-job training, and vigorously improve the ability and quality of "three support and one support" personnel. In 2024, the central government will support 8,000 special trainings, and the provincial human resources and social security departments will be responsible for the organization and implementation of special training, and timely incorporate the experience of the "Ten Million Project" and Fengqiao into the training to improve the pertinence and practicability of the training. Actively coordinate with departments such as education, water conservancy, agriculture and rural affairs, health and health, forestry and grassland, and include the "three branches and one support" personnel in the training scope of corresponding industry talents, so as to improve their professional knowledge and technical skills. Strictly enforce training discipline, strictly manage the training process, and strictly prohibit the organization of publicly-funded travel in the name of training to ensure the effectiveness of training.
Fourth, strengthen the post practice exercise. Establish and improve the mentor system, pass on the help and other training systems, implement the main responsibility of grassroots service units, and promote the growth of "three branches and one support" personnel based on their posts. Recommend the best to serve as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the grass-roots units, the assistant to the chief of the river (lake, forest), the assistant to the director of the agricultural technical service station (institute), the assistant to the director of the forest farm (station), and the assistant to the director of the grass-roots supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., to encourage participation in the construction of major projects and key tasks at the grass-roots level, and to exercise and grow in promoting grass-roots research and solving practical problems in development.

Localities with conditions can pay housing provident funds within the policy framework in combination with the actual situation, and handle supplementary medical and commercial insurance in accordance with regulations. Guide grassroots service units to optimize work and life guarantees, and provide accommodation, transportation, and other conveniences. Improve the assessment and reward mechanism, organize the annual assessment and expiration assessment, and give certain rewards with reference to relevant local regulations. Strengthen the daily management of the "three branches and one support" personnel, strengthen safety education, regularly carry out spot checks on the job and inspection of the performance of duties, and shall not secondment the "three branches and one support" personnel to the superior unit or other departments to help work. In principle, the "three branches and one support" personnel will not be rehired after the expiration of their service period, and the grassroots service units will not send new personnel to the grassroots service units that renew the employment of personnel whose service has expired due to difficulties in job recruitment and the need for grassroots units. Build a multi-channel personnel exchange platform for "three branches and one support", regularly carry out visits and seminars, holiday condolences and other activities, strengthen care and care, and encourage them to better serve the grassroots.
6. Make every effort to do a good job in providing employment services for those who have completed their service periods. We will further improve the mobility policy at the end of the service period, smooth the channels for the retention of grassroots service units, and take multiple measures to promote the "three branches and one support" personnel to take root at the grassroots level and grow into talents. Coordinate with relevant departments to implement support policies such as targeted recruitment of civil servants, preferential employment under the same conditions in provincial and municipal institutions, standardized training for resident doctors, and further studies.

Personnel who have completed their service period who are willing to start a business will be included in projects such as entrepreneurship leading actions, and support policies such as information services, entrepreneurship training, technical guidance, project support, and finance and insurance will be implemented in accordance with regulations. Provide targeted employment assistance to those who have not been employed for a long time and have completed their service period. Improve the tracking and training mechanism for personnel who have completed their service period, promote the inclusion of those who have completed their service in their hometowns for entrepreneurship and employment, and who have strong driving ability and play a large role, into the local talent directory according to regulations, and implement relevant support policies for talents.

From 2024 onwards, in provinces where the actual number of recruits is greater than the number of plans issued by the central government, the new recruits will be managed separately according to the personnel in the central financial plan and those outside the central financial plan.
All localities should fully understand the importance of implementing the "three support and one support" plan, improve the working mechanism, strengthen departmental coordination, improve policy measures, and do a solid job in organizing and implementing the work. In principle, the human resources and social security departments below the prefectural and municipal levels shall not implement the local "three support and one support" plan to ensure the unity, coordination and authority of the project. Increase support for the work of "three branches and one support" in Tibet, Xinjiang and Tibet-related prefectures and counties in Tibet, and counterpart provinces and cities should actively cooperate with the recipient areas to carry out project publicity and personnel recruitment, and take the initiative to provide training resources for the on-the-job "three branches and one support" personnel in the recipient areas.
