22/6/2004 16:25

China will take several measures to help domestic university graduates find jobs, eastday.com reported today.
The number of Chinese university graduates will hit 2.8 million this year, an increase of 680,000 from last year. In addition, 180,000 university graduates from last year still haven't found jobs.
"China is paying a lot of attention to the tough employment situation for domestic university graduates and we will adopt the following measures to solve this problem," said Zheng Silin, Chinese Minister of Labor and Social Security.
* Deepening educational system reforms; restructuring the domestic labor market and establishing a new employment system which allows the market to play a guiding role, the government to play a regulating and controlling role, schools to play an advisory role and both graduates and employers to make their own choices.
* Offering one-stop services to graduates including policy consulting, professional guidance and data management
* Enhancing the management of services to unemployed university graduates, with those unemployed for more than half a year after graduation registered with the local unemployment system; establishing an internship system to help young students gain more work experience and increase their competitiveness in the job market.
