City to aid graduating students
18/6/2003 16:07
The local educational department will take measures to help graduating
university students find jobs, according to a Shanghai government press
conference yesterday, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.
The
measures include giving priority to graduating students when recruiting civilian
workers and encouraging students to sign employment contracts with employers as
soon as possible.
The Shanghai Education Commission and Shanghai Labor
and Social Security Bureau are working out a plan to provide job training to
unemployed graduating students to improve their competitiveness.
Shanghai
will also offer preferential policies to encourage and support graduating
students in starting their own business.
The Labor and Social Security
Bureau, together with the Shanghai Personnel Bureau, will strengthen supervision
on recruitment activities to protect the legal rights of graduating university
students. Employers found breaking employment agreements or neglecting to sign
labor contracts with graduating students will be punished.
The local
public security department will simplify procedures for graduating students from
outside the city to establish registered permanent residence in the
city.
There are 83,120 graduating university students in Shanghai this
year, an increase of 31 percent from a year before, with the proportion signing
job contracts with employers to date comparable with last year's figure.
