People's Daily Commentary: Eliminate barriers to job search for graduates of vocational colleges

Source: People's Daily - Opinion Channel

Employment is the biggest livelihood. "Graduation institutions, study experiences outside the country (territory), and learning methods must not be used as restrictive conditions" "Positions with vocational skill level requirements in open recruitment may appropriately reduce the academic requirements, or no longer set academic requirements"... Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued a notice requiring the effective protection and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of graduates of vocational colleges and universities in participating in the open recruitment of public institutions and equal opportunities for competition, releasing a clear signal to promote the development of vocational education and the construction of a team of skilled personnel.

National development depends on qualified personnel, and national rejuvenation depends on qualified personnel. The importance of talent is self-evident. Creating an environment in which only those who know and love those who respect and use their talents is even more important. Judging from the content of the notice, "breaking the employment orientation of only famous schools and only academic qualifications" has clarified the scientific concept of selecting and employing people; "graduates of the preparatory technician (technician) class of technical colleges and universities can apply for positions with academic requirements of university undergraduates, and graduates of senior work classes can apply for posts with academic requirements as university specialists", and the corresponding conditions for recruitment have been relaxed; "The proportion of practical operation ability tests in examinations for posts that perform tasks with skills operation or skill guidance is not less than 50% in principle". The post standard is appropriately inclined to the practice... It can be said that each one has a strong realistic pertinence, which helps to provide more opportunities for the majority of professional and skilled talents to shine in life.

In recent years, from key technology laboratories to major engineering construction sites, from smart factory production lines to modern service industry positions, the demand for professional and skilled personnel has been expanding, and China has also established the world's largest vocational education system. But at the same time, in reality, some of the situations of "emphasizing education and light skills" and "emphasizing management and light skills" still exist. Compared with ordinary college graduates, many vocational college graduates have problems such as low professional matching, low salary and social security treatment, and poor career development channels, which have become a practical factor restricting the growth of high-quality technical and technical talents. The purpose of this circular is to promote graduates of vocational colleges and universities to enjoy the same treatment as ordinary college graduates in terms of participating in the recruitment of public institutions, eliminate all kinds of visible and invisible threshold barriers in the job market, and form a good social environment in which everyone can become a talent and everyone can give full play to their talents.

Improving the social status of technical skills talents is not an empty phrase, let alone stop at high-profile doors and good attitudes, the key is to see whether there are real moves and whether there are benefits. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 20 takeaway riders obtained the "online delivery" vocational skill level recognition primary certificate, enjoyed preferential policies such as government training subsidies, city points settlement bonus points and special deductions for personal income tax; in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, senior technicians with 27 years of service were rated as senior engineers, and post-90s auto assembly workers were rated as assistant engineers, opening up new possibilities for career development... Only by increasing institutional innovation, policy supply, and investment, and enhancing the recognition and attractiveness of vocational education, can we create a skill-based social atmosphere in which the country respects skills, society advocates skills, everyone learns skills, and everyone enjoys skills, and realize the transformation from "being able to work" to "being a good job".

Scientists' ideas, engineers' blueprints, technicians' products... A knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative labor force is a solid guarantee for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching toward the second centenary goal. Strengthen the construction of the team of skilled personnel, promote the professional and skilled personnel to achieve fuller and higher quality employment, and more high-quality technical and skilled personnel, skilled craftsmen, and craftsmen in big countries will continue to emerge.
