Tens of millions of graduates, why are chemical companies lacking people?

The topic of "the most graduates in history" has frequently rushed to the hot search of major websites this year. According to the previous estimates of the Ministry of Education, this year's college graduates reached 10.76 million, an increase of 1.67 million over last year, and for the first time exceeded 10 million. At the same time, under the impact of multiple factors such as the repeated epidemic of new coronary pneumonia and the increase in economic downward pressure, in the summer of 2022, it has also become a "difficult employment season" that is generally considered by public opinion.

What is the employment of petroleum and chemical majors? "China Chemical News" recently investigated the employment of graduates and the issue of corporate recruitment. The investigation shows that the seemingly turbulent wave of fresh graduates still cannot solve the thirst of the talents and the waste of the talents of many chemical companies. At the same time that some graduates complained that "employment is difficult", many companies are also lamenting "difficulty in recruiting people." Several experts believe that the structural employment contradictions reflected by this "difficulty in both ends" need to attract attention.

Difficult employment? Difficult to expect high

Expert: Is a structural issue

"It is not difficult to find a job, but it is difficult to find a professional counterpart and satisfy it." A fresh graduate of a chemical major who has invested dozens of resumes in Beijing University of Chemical Engineering recently participated in the "China Chemical News" investigation. Essence

Xiao Yang, a fresh graduate of chemical engineering in Beijing Academy of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering, said that she did not intend to continue to find a job in this professional field, but wanted to find a job with strong social attributes and do white -collar workers. However, this process is even more difficult. "I invested nearly a hundred resumes on the recruitment platform at that time, and only one -fifth received a reply. In the end, only a dozen interview opportunities were only obtained." Xiao Yang also said that among the 20 students in the class Employment, one -third of the other one -third of the other chooses to continue his studies.

The research and development of the China Chemical Newspaper shows that compared with previous years, the employment of chemical engineering is acceptable this year. Among them, the employment rates such as materials and scientific engineering, polymer materials, chemical engineering and technology are not low. Especially in some vocational colleges, there have been highlights in ensuring employment of graduates. For example, Changzhou Vocational and Technical College said that there are 3,540 fresh graduates in the school this year, and the overall employment situation is basically the same compared with the same period last year. As of the recycling of the survey questionnaire, the school's direct employment implementation rate exceeded 70%, of which the chemical majors were the same as the overall situation of the school. Henan Chemical Technical College said that this year the school participated in the top of the top of the internship and employment. There were 2,142 students. The overall employment rate was stable at more than 98%, and the employment rate of chemical -related majors was stable at more than 98%.

According to the "China Chemical News", although the employment rate of oil and chemical graduates is not low in terms of data, the proportion of professional talents is not high.

In the graduate of chemical engineering graduates, the postgraduate studies account for a considerable proportion. Teachers in a specialized class in Shandong University told the China Chemical News that of the 26 graduates of the class, only 1 person chose to employment in related fields in this major, 1 person was admitted to civil servants, and the other 24 chose to study for further entrance examination (5 of which were exams After the loss, choose to continue preparing for the exam). A teacher from the School of Polymer Science and Engineering of Qingdao University of Science and Technology also revealed that about 90%of graduates of the college chose to study for further studies this year, and about half of them were admitted. A teacher at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Shandong University of Technology said that 50%of the college graduates choose to study for further studies. Among graduates who choose to employment, 75%of students choose professional counterpart work. According to the statistical habits of universities, graduates of the postgraduate studies are generally regarded as successful employment.

Many people in the industry believe that college graduates' salary expectations for employment are generally higher than reality. The "2022 University Student Employment Research Report" released by Zhilian Recruitment shows that the actual salary and expectations of graduates in 2022 have exceeded 3,000 yuan. Such a big gap made a considerable part of the graduates tending to continue their studies or "slow employment" such as "exams, postgraduate entrance examinations, and examinations".

At the same time, more and more chemical graduates will no longer choose professional counterparts. Relevant persons in charge of many interviewed companies said that the number of students who are willing to choose oil and chemical related majors and work in the front line of chemical plants have decreased year by year. On the one hand, it is affected by factors such as "discussing color changes"; on the other hand, the common problems faced by some traditional manufacturing industries are also plaguing the chemical industry. Compared with the Internet, finance and other industries, the manufacturing positions are "slowly upgraded", and they need long -term experience accumulation, capacity growth and salary levels slowly, and it is difficult to meet the economic needs of some graduates. In addition, manufacturing companies, especially petrochemical companies, are mostly far from the suburbs of the city, and their working hours are relatively fixed. They are not attractive to post -95s and post -00s that value their self -worth realization and interest. Although the workers are hard, the time is flexible and flexible, and the work place works in the urban circle.

And those graduates who have chosen chemicals related work are also very different. Small and medium -sized enterprises and large enterprises, private enterprises and state -owned enterprises and state -owned enterprises in the employment market are different. The "2022 College Student Employment Research Report" shows that more and more fresh graduates have stabilized for employment, hoping that the proportion of state -owned enterprises will increase by nearly 2%year -on -year, and the proportion of employment in private enterprises will decrease by 1.6%year -on -year.

There are also differences in the area and segmentation of the work. For example, units mainly based on technology research and development have always been "sought after", while engineering construction enterprises have always been "sought -after", while engineering construction enterprises are difficult to attract a large number of outstanding talents due to heavy work tasks and difficult conditions.

According to Xin Xiao, the secretary -general of the China Chemical Education Association, the chemical -related employment market also has regional differences with the industrial layout. The Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and other coastal chemical industry gathering areas are economically developed. The industrial layout is mainly based on high -tech fields such as biochemical industry, pharmaceutical, new materials, and batteries. The employment market in the Central and Western regions of chemical, electric stones, and oil refining industries is relatively deserted.

"So, some people say that this year is the" most difficult employment season ', but it is actually more one -sided. "Xin Xiao believes that" difficulty in employment "is a structural issue, not an overall issue.

It's difficult to recruit people? It's hard to recruit more difficult to stay

Enterprise: The problem is common

As mentioned earlier, the low employment rate of chemical majors does not mean that the enterprise as a demand party has been fully supplying.

"This year's chemical and equipment positions are the shortest vacancies. For chemical positions, there are fewer professional counterparts and further shrinking. In addition, the employees have changed careers, resulting in manpower supply in short supply; The impact of industries such as manufacturing is more difficult. "The person in charge of a chemical enterprise in the Yangtze River Delta region introduced that at present, enterprises have adopted modern management models such as job portraits and talent portraits to improve the efficiency of recruitment and the matching of talents and jobs, but" The problem of labor shortage is still difficult to alleviate.

A chemical enterprise with "labor shortage" is by no means. In this survey, interviewed enterprises generally reflect that the recruitment situation is not optimistic, and some positions are difficult to find such as automated talents. The survey results show that a chemical enterprise in Hubei planned to recruit 600 people this year. As of the survey questionnaire recycling, a total of 310 people were recruited. The main positions were production operations, marketing, agricultural chemical technology and technicians. There are 100 engineers, and only more than 40 people are recruited.

Many chemical companies participating in the survey have reported that there are many new and migrant projects in the domestic petrochemical industry, which makes professional talents in production technology, equipment, electrical, instrumentation, analysis and testing and other positions. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released in late July in the second quarter of 2022, the "most lack of work" in 2022 also confirmed this -Among them, the chemical unit operating occupation ranked 39th, an increase of 5 from the same period last year. Pitch; chemical inspector occupation ranked 72nd, an increase of 21 from the same period last year.

Many chemical companies said that the cause of "labor shortage" is difficult to recruit workers. On the other hand, the professional knowledge and skills of fresh graduates also gap with the actual production requirements of the enterprise.

"The current situation is that high -end leaders and experts are difficult to recruit, and grass -roots operation and maintenance personnel are difficult to recruit and retain." Said the person in charge of a chemical enterprise in a chemical enterprise in the southwest region.

According to the research data, the loss rate of new employees interviewed by the chemical enterprises is about 20%. The person in charge of a chemical enterprise in the central region reports that the loss rate of new employees within one year is generally high, especially college students and employees, and the loss rate is close to 30%. How to attract graduates to enter the factory and how to retain young employees have become a difficult problem for enterprises to face.

The phenomenon of personnel loss not only appears in the chemical industry. A set of data provided by Zhang Xinghai, a representative of the National People's Congress and chairman of Xiaokang Group, showed that in 2020, the gap between my country's manufacturing talents was 22 million. In the past 5 years, 1.5 million people left the manufacturing industry each year. The number of courier practitioners exceeded 10 million. According to the statistics of Meituan and Hungry of the takeaway platform, nearly 30 % of the two platforms have added more than 2 million takeaway riders during the 2020 epidemic situation.

What are the "recruitment"? Solve the "difficulty in both ends"

Measures: Take up the sycamore branches, good 金 金 金 金 举 举 举

One party is difficult to employ, and one party is sold at the price; one party is difficult to recruit people, and no one is informative. How to solve the problem of "two difficulties"?

"It is necessary to improve the quality of the workers through vocational skills training, and realize the close combination of training content and job needs to alleviate the structure of coexistence of 'Some people' unparalleled 'and' unmanned", 'employment difficulties' and' recruitment difficulties' coexistence 'coexistence. Sexual employment contradictions. "At the 23rd meeting of the 13th Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on August 23, Ren Yaping, deputy director of the National Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested.

Regarding the lack of professional counterpart talents, many business people said that they can seek problem solving problems in the field of vocational education. The research results of the China Chemical News also show that the employment rate of vocational colleges is more optimistic, and the employer's satisfaction with graduates is also quite high.

Talking about the requirements of enterprises for the training of graduates, Xu Yongjun, director of the Admissions and Employment Division of Changzhou Engineering and Technical Vocational College, said that from the survey of the past three years, about 40%of the employers believe that the school should strengthen the professional practice link, and 30 30, and 30 30 %Of enterprises recommend strengthening school -enterprise cooperation and cultivating technical talents that meet the requirements. At present, the college has carried out in -depth cooperation with industry leading enterprises, implemented a modern apprenticeship system, opened "order classes", and led the establishment of the national inspection, testing and certification vocational education group, the Yangtze River Delta green chemical and pharmaceutical integrated development vocational education alliance.

Xin Xiao revealed that the China Chemical Education Association is preparing to establish an educational training platform that will integrate the industry's quality resources, to create a systematic vocational training plan that integrates job training, on -the -job lifelong education, and non -academic development training. Essence After the platform is launched, it will help to realize the close combination of the skill quality of the working workers and the needs of the job. It will also greatly alleviate the "labor shortage" of enterprises and meet the needs of enterprises for technical talents. In addition, many chemical companies also realize that they have set up sycamore branches to live in golden phoenix. Many companies have begun to pay attention to the improvement of employee benefits and corporate culture construction. For example, Mingquan Group chooses to establish a living area in the urban area to meet the needs of employees, and provide a weekly transfer room to reduce the pressure of employees to purchase houses; Sexual incentives; Guizhou Phosphate Group builds stadiums in various production bases and holds activities regularly to improve employees' identity in enterprises ...

At the same time, enterprises are also introducing digital and intelligent technologies to enhance the profit margin of the manufacturing industry, improve the working environment and salary level of the employee, and enable fresh graduates to "attract, keep it", and solve the difficulty of recruitment.

Employment? Enhance competitiveness

Experience: Practicing Diamond Diamonds, easy to capture porcelain lives

The structural contradictions of the employment market can not be resolved overnight, but the number of college graduates in recent years has not decreased. According to the "Statistics of the National Education Development Statistics" issued by the Ministry of Education, university graduates are expected to exceed 11.74 million in 2023, and employment competition may be more intense. How to improve your competitiveness in the employment market? "Practicing Diamond Diamonds and Easy to Lake Porcelain" has become an experience.

A fresh graduate of a large chemical company has shared his job experience. In order to recruit, he not only carefully prepared resumes for the target position, but also contacted the same type of enterprises for internships to increase the understanding of the industry. "From the perspective of my job search experience, it is not difficult for undergraduate graduates to find a professional counterpart. It is important to clarify my job goals and maintain a positive attitude of job search. It may be limited, but a positive employment and learning attitude are definitely bonus. "The graduate said.

For school students, cultivating their own practical ability and building a clear self -cognition and development route is a magic weapon to enhance future workplace competitiveness. According to the results of the survey, 75%of the chemical manufacturers hope that in addition to mastering theoretical knowledge, the fresh graduates must have certain application capabilities; 42%of companies hope that graduates can have a correct understanding of the industry and have long -term career planning. , Can take root in the front line and accumulate experience.

Xin Xiao said that the association is also starting from three aspects to help the future employment of students. The first is to implement ideological and political courses and establish students' industry feelings and cognition; the second is to build a "1+X" certificate system to encourage students to obtain a vocational skills level certificate while obtaining an academic certificate, improve their ability literacy, increase employment competition Force; third, open the industry situation and policy courses, analyze the industry situation by interpreting the relevant policies of the chemical industry, and let students understand the industry from a macro perspective, so as to better make long -term planning for their career development routes.

"We hope that everyone has professional ability and can also love the chemical industry. I have feelings and knowledge of the industry, and contribute to the development of the industry in the future." Xin Xiao said.
