The "100-day sprint" campaign launched by the Chinese Ministry of Education this month to facilitate employment for graduating students has successfully created over 3.7 million new job positions.
The campaign, which will last until August 2024, features activities at universities around the country, including large-scale campus recruitment, policy promotions, and visits to enterprises.
Over 2,500 universities and colleges have so far implemented initiatives that involve students visiting business sites, resulting in the creation of nearly 3.76 million new job positions.
In Gongqingcheng City, located in Jiangxi Province in eastern China, more than 10 universities have established internship bases through partnerships with more than 70 companies.
In Hunan Province in central China, local social security departments have engaged with a semiconductor company currently constructing a key production base in Changsha City, which has high employment demands.
A hiring team has been organized to conduct special on-campus recruitment events, inviting students to visit the company and fostering direct communication between employers and potential employees.
"We were invited to visit the enterprises to know their needs and the overall situation. We had direct communication there," said Li Ruoqiao, a graduate of Hunan University.
"Our job demand this year has increased by over 40 percent compared to last year. There will be more to offer," said Wang Wei, a manager at Sanan Semiconductor.
The ministry says greater efforts will be made to help students from families with financial difficulties and those with disabilities to find jobs.
According to Chinese authorities, the number of new university graduates across the country this year is expected to reach nearly 11.8 million.
