The reporter learned from Shenzhen Interior Design Vocational Skills Appraisal Institute that Shenzhen began to hold the professional skills appraisal examination for interior decoration designers in 2004. At that time, there were only 75 appraisers, and by 2007, there were 577 appraisers, an increase of nearly eight times compared with 2004. Over the past four years, more than10.5 million people have participated in the national professional skill appraisal of interior design. According to Song, director of the Interior Design Professional Skills Appraisal Institute, with the rapid improvement of people's living standards in Shenzhen, people's demand for interior design has increased sharply, and the current situation of lack of interior design talents has also become prominent. Although the number of people participating in the evaluation has increased exponentially in recent years, compared with the total number of nearly 30 thousand employees, the number of examiners only accounts for 5%. This time, the government listed interior decoration design talents as "urgently needed" talents, and gave technicians and senior technicians preferential policies to transfer to Shenzhen to relax their age, which shows that the government attaches importance to the profession of interior designers. Shenzhen Interior Designers Association Talent Training Base and Xinchang Training Center have been engaged in interior design education for many years, and they are also the first units in Shenzhen to offer pre-test training for interior design professional skills appraisal. Director Zhao of the center said that due to the steady growth of the market demand for interior design talents year by year and the government's great attention to outstanding interior design talents, the registration for pre-test training in the new field of interior design vocational skills appraisal this year is also more popular than the same period last year. On the one hand, most students are attracted by Shenzhen's talent recruitment policy, and many people attach importance to the notarization and public evaluation of appraisal. Appraisal certificates are generally recognized by decoration and design enterprises, hoping to obtain professional qualification certificates and increase their professional chips.
This year's policy of recruiting and transferring workers in our city can relax the recruitment age to 45 for technicians and senior technicians who are in urgent need, and to 45 for married people. It is reported that in addition to interior decoration designers, other 14 professional positions that can relax the recruitment age are: interior decoration designers, refrigeration equipment repairmen, garment design customization workers, locksmiths, lathe workers, milling workers, grinder workers, electricians, welders, elevator installation repairmen, automobile maintenance electricians, household electronic product repairmen, Chinese cookers and hairdressers. At the same time, our city has raised the selection requirements for skilled personnel this year. In the past, holders of non-intermediate or above vocational qualification certificates issued by our city were required to participate in the corresponding level skill appraisal practical test organized by the labor and social security department of our city. Now it is changed to participate in the comprehensive level test of corresponding level skill appraisal organized by the labor and social security department of our city. The scope of comprehensive level test includes practical operation and theory to ensure the quality of imported technology and skilled personnel.
