The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Tuesday kicked off a 100-day campaign to provide more than 10 million job opportunities for college graduates, according to a notice issued on the ministry’s website on Tuesday.
The ministry has asked the heads of local human resources bureaus to visit enterprises and universities to collect job vacancy information and find positions suitable for college students.
It also called for efforts to roll out targeted job fairs for key industries such as medicine and health, information technology, advanced manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection. There are also plans for more large-scale recruitment campaigns.
The ministry will set up online job fairs and it asked provinces to set up provincial online platforms to post job information and launch virtual meetings with job seekers.
The ministry also asked various industrial associations, recruitment websites and platform companies including Alibaba, Meituan and Ant Group to participate in the whole process, and launch targeted employment services.
China is stepping up policy support to stabilize employment, especially among young people.
The Ministry of Education has also started a 100-day campaign by releasing a slew of practical policies to expand employment for graduating students this year in the face of a sluggish job market.
