The figures are roughly the same. This is the development goal of vocational education in Hebei Province established at the Hebei Vocational Education Work Conference held in April this year. Vocational education is gradually breaking the pattern of general education dominating the whole country, and slowly blooming its unique fragrance and beauty.

Event 1: A private enterprise in Shanghai offered 400,000 yuan for "foreign technicians"; Jiangsu can't recruit senior welders with an annual salary of 280,000; Hangzhou offers a monthly salary of 6000 and only recruits two technicians in three months ... in the process of upgrading the industrial level.
In the Yangtze River Delta region, the shortage of ordinary technicians engaged in simple labor has just been alleviated, and the serious shortage of senior technicians has once again become a headache for enterprises.
Event 2: After Li Huan (pseudonym), a high school graduate, failed in the college entrance examination, he was introduced by relatives and entered.
A provincial key vocational college in Shijiazhuang studied hotel management. Two years later, she gave up her job opportunities and chose a university in the province to continue her studies. However, after graduation, she repeatedly ran into a wall when looking for a job with a college diploma. When she told the employer that she was also a vocational college graduate, she was unexpectedly hired.
-The school said: Our advantages are obvious.
"Our students have been' booked' by the company before graduation." "Sign an employment agreement at the beginning of enrollment, so you don't have to worry about not finding a job after graduation." Undoubtedly, ensuring employment is the charm of current vocational colleges.
In this regard, President Wang Erguo of Shijiazhuang Accounting Vocational School believes that attaching importance to and strengthening skills training is the advantage of vocational colleges. "The proportion of theoretical study and practical training is basically maintained at 1: 1. The school has built a well-equipped training base, invited experienced technicians to teach, and let students do various drills during their school days. In addition, the school also attaches importance to the cultivation of various skills related to students' employment, such as basic English, driving, calligraphy and so on. In order to achieve multi-functions as much as possible, broaden employment channels and comprehensively improve overall quality. " President Wang told reporters like this.
"Compared with general education, vocational colleges can grasp the pulse of social needs more quickly," said Yang Jigen, president of Shijiazhuang Vocational and Technical Training School. "The school not only sets its own majors in time according to social needs, but also flexibly adjusts the academic system and curriculum focus according to the requirements of different enterprises to achieve directional training."
It is understood that many vocational colleges have set up employment classes to ensure the output of high-quality students. Wei Yugang, deputy director of the Admissions and Employment Guidance Department of Shijiazhuang Tourism School, believes that in addition to professional knowledge, vocational colleges pay more attention to cultivating students' soft qualities such as communication with others and self-management, so as to better realize the transformation from a student to a professional.
-Enterprises say that vocational college students are "useful"
"At present, for our industrial and mining enterprises, there are very few young skilled workers, and there is a talent gap. The factory urgently needs excellent technical talents, such as CNC equipment workers. " Hui Guiyi, general manager of Shijiazhuang Tiexin Machinery Co., Ltd. said.
Di Yao Ke, the recruitment director of Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., also said that at present, from the perspective of automobile enterprises, skilled workers such as fitters, molds and CNC programming are more scarce and it is more difficult to recruit.
During the interview, most enterprise executives welcomed skilled talents and generally agreed that vocational education graduates have obvious advantages over general education students. First, they have a more correct mentality and a clearer self-orientation, so they are more dedicated and will not look at other mountains; Second, after they enter the factory, they have stronger ability to accept new technologies, can adapt to on-site operations more quickly, and have better hands-on ability.
In addition, when it comes to the "shortage of skilled workers" in the Yangtze River Delta region, the person in charge of the enterprise thinks that the master leads the door and practices in the individual. We can't just say that skilled workers are good, but general education is not good for cultivating college students. We just look at who is more suitable for what position, and what kind of talents are relatively scarce at this stage.
-Students: A bright future under multi-directional choice.
"Of course, those who can go to college will still go to college. Going to technical secondary schools and technical schools is a helpless choice under' elimination'. In fact, it is really embarrassing! " It is understood that despite repeated propaganda to vigorously develop secondary vocational education, it is still difficult for many parents and students to change their concepts, and the traditional education of crowding a wooden bridge with thousands of troops is still deeply rooted.
In this regard, experts believe that in addition to the state's huge investment in supporting the development of vocational colleges, as far as students are concerned, after graduation from vocational colleges, they can consider both counterpart studies and employment, and there is a lot of choice.
In addition, employment is the ultimate goal, whether you go to school or not. It is understood that among the 18 1425 jobs provided by enterprises and institutions registered in the municipal labor department in 2005, technical managers and technicians 143 180 people were recruited, accounting for 78.9% of all jobs, while Shishi has more than 60,000 middle and higher vocational graduates who have obtained vocational qualification certificates every year.
The huge talent gap opens the door to opportunities for students in vocational colleges. From the feedback of some enterprises in the provincial capital, for example, the monthly salary of junior workers is about 700-800 yuan, and if they are senior technicians who have worked for 4 or 5 years, the monthly salary can even reach 2,500 yuan.
-Expert opinion: Establish a correct view of talents.
"Sometimes, we also feel that children are not the' material' for studying, and we have considered whether to go to vocational colleges to learn a skill, but we feel that we should try our best not to let our children go to college. I am sorry for our children, and my heart is very contradictory." During the interview, many parents expressed their feelings to reporters.
In this regard, Zhang Changqing, director of the Department of Vocational Education and Adult Education of Shijiazhuang Education Bureau, believes that after completing the nine-year compulsory education, students are faced with the first "crossroads" in life, and what to do is crucial, so parents' feelings are understandable. However, it should be reminded that how to choose the future development should be considered according to the social needs and the children's own actual situation, and the children's life development should not be affected by the temporary face problem.
Director Zhang pointed out that to establish a correct view of talents, the development of the country and society needs research-oriented talents and welcomes skilled talents. As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art. Being a skilled worker does not mean that there is no way out for personal career development, and you must live at the bottom all your life. Top technical talents are the objects that enterprises are chasing, which play a vital role in the production and development of enterprises and can also achieve good development.
In addition, when planning your career, you should take a long-term view. On the basis of objective and sober understanding and evaluation of oneself, it is the right way to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses and carry out reasonable life design.
