After a year, Liu Wen, who has graduated, and his classmates are still defending their rights.
From June 2065438 to June 2006, junior students from the College of Arts of Xi Foreign Affairs University attended a career introduction meeting at the school. What came to preach was xi 'an Branch of Shaanxi Youyike Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Youyike Xi 'an Branch"), an institution specializing in training courses such as UI design. Company commitment: after training, the company can help recommend it to the major cooperative enterprises and find jobs with a basic salary of more than 3,500 yuan.
Liu Wen and five other students signed an agreement with this institution. Afterwards, they found that the promised job recommendation "changed" and took a loan of 10 thousand yuan. After studying for five months, you have to count on yourself to find a job.
In the view of Liu Wen and others, institutional training is useless, and unlimited recommendation is perfunctory. Moreover, the money has already been called to the agency. Even if there is a dispute with the agency on the follow-up employment recommendation, I can't get out of debt.
However, in the view of training institutions, the problem lies in "disagreement" and "dislocation of students' understanding".
It is noteworthy that Liu Wen said that the reason why they believed in the organization was that the lecture was led by the relevant personnel of the school. Youyike Xi Branch has also established a "College Students' Internet Employment Training Base" with their school, which has also been listed as a "cooperative college" in the official website of this institution.
The reporter found that the agency's propaganda was exaggerated to some extent. Many well-known cooperative enterprises introduced by them all denied the existence of so-called cooperation, and some made it clear that "this kind of recommendation is no different from the effect of students submitting their own resumes".
In any case, these students should pay off their debts on time. In fact, "training loan" is not a case when looking for a job.
In the month of 65438+ 10 this year, someone summed up a list of as many as 92 "fraud companies". As of press time, most of these companies are still promoting the above business.
Zero tuition training is originally a student loan.
Liu Wen always remembers that at the presentation, the staff of Youyike Xi 'an Branch created a feeling that "after learning this major (UI design), the monthly salary will be high and the job will be easy to find".
She said that the teacher of the institution promised at that time that after five months of training, the trainees could pass the training examination. Students can therefore enjoy the good cooperative relationship established between the institution and other enterprises, and then find a good job.
Course "down payment" 100 yuan. Liu Wen and five students successively paid the money and booked the next batch of training. But after the training course, none of them found jobs corresponding to the training content. There is even a classmate, through his own efforts, until June this year, finally the dust settled.
They feel cheated. The organization didn't keep its promise at that time. Liu Wen said that although the employment service agreement signed stated that "Party A has the obligation to conduct systematic and rigorous evaluation according to Party B's academic level, academic performance and personal quality performance, and provide qualified students with matching interview opportunities, which can be recommended indefinitely"; In fact, the organization only collected the students' resumes for delivery, and published several recruitment information of relevant units in the students' QQ group.
There is also the payment of tuition fees. Liu Wen recalled that before signing the agreement, they were told that the total cost of the course was 1 *** 15800 yuan. Because they are all students, they don't have to pay their tuition fees in one lump sum. They can train first and repay after they get employed.
The so-called repayment mode is "12+ 12": in the first 12 months, the institution pays a certain service fee for the trainees every month, and the trainees repay the loan every month in the second 12 months.
However, a few days after the start of school, the teachers of the organization began to urge them to sign employment service agreements and check "third party payment" in the payment method. Only then did Liu Wen and her classmates know that the so-called "training first, then repayment" is a loan.
Liu Wen said that on the day of signing the agreement, Youyike Xi 'an Branch introduced the cooperative loan company to the students, and the staff of the loan bear came to the classroom to tell the loan process.
Liu Wen and his classmates registered their names, schools and other identity information on their mobile phones, took photos on the podium with their ID cards, and completed the loan review after uploading their certificates. "The loan passed in less than two days (the loan was successful)."
However, what they didn't expect was that the first week after signing the contract was the basic course of painting, and the second week was the beginning of the software course. "At that time, I felt that the course was not suitable, but I have not retired." Afterwards, she discovered that the employment agreement impressively stated that "after Party A receives the training course for 3 days, Party B will not refund the tuition fee".
Also attending the training was Liu Wen's classmate Wang Jia. Wang Jia introduced that the teacher had clearly promised to "recommend employment for life" and told her that if she felt inexperienced after employment, she could go back to the training class for free training. In fact, when she was looking for a job, she found that applicants had high requirements for UI design candidates. "The students in the training class can see it at a glance."
She recalled that the teachers of the organization had asked them to pretend to be experienced old employees to go to some enterprises for interviews, and they were also organized for interviews.
Training institutions "enter" the campus
Official website of Youyike Xi 'an Branch shows that Youyike Xi 'an Branch signed an agreement with Liu Wen is only a part of Youyike's name, and its headquarters is Shanxi Youyike Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanxi Youyike").
The reporter called Shanxi Youyike as a consultant. The course teacher of this institution said that after attending the training, employment units will be recommended nationwide according to the students' employment intentions. On the one hand, enterprises will come to training institutions from time to time to select talents through the form of double selection of enterprises; On the other hand, employers will be selected and interviews will be arranged according to students' employment intentions, and students can go directly to the interviews. At the same time, the organization will recommend students infinitely: constantly track the employment situation of students and recommend them repeatedly.
However, Liu Wen told reporters that in the early days after the training, the organization had published some recruitment information in the QQ group, but it didn't take long to become a "hands-on shopkeeper". The agency also responded to the question that students "should reflect on why they didn't find a job".
Both Liu Wen and Wang Jia said that the agency had never recommended them one-on-one. Wang Jia recalled that she only experienced a "customized" recommendation: the institutional teacher first asked "Who is free" in the group and was told to go somewhere after answering. That day, the teacher took her and another classmate to a company for an interview and asked some professional questions. Later, she didn't get the news of the interview company, which was the last contact between the institutional teacher and her about employment recommendation.
In this regard, Zhang Hongshuai, the head of Youyike Xi 'an Branch, said that some students did not want to find a job immediately after the training course, but later they reflected their dissatisfaction to the company. "It's hard to adjust" and "There is some dislocation". He also stressed that colleges and universities pay attention to skills training and are not employment-oriented.
Zhang Hongshuai recommended several outstanding students to the reporter. After contacting the reporter, it was found that most of them had a certain academic background before training. The teacher of the organization contacted them five or six times to inquire about the employment situation, but these students basically found their own jobs in the end.
Liu Wen felt cheated. What makes her even more unacceptable is that she learned about this institution from school. As far as she knows, the organization holds lectures and training courses in schools every year, and accepts a group of new students almost every four months on average.
A senior in Liu Wen also said that in the first half of this year, her class was also informed to attend the presentation organized.
Wang Jia told reporters that the news of the seminar was informed by the department counselor, and the dean of the college also appeared at the seminar to help maintain discipline, which once convinced them of the training and commitment of the organization.
China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online reporter contacted the Admissions Office of Xi Foreign Affairs College, and a teacher gave a positive answer on whether to cooperate with Youyike. She said that this internet training is "normal teaching", "junior college students start their sophomore year, and undergraduates usually graduate that year." When you are a sophomore, you should register first, and then formally attend classes when you graduate or take part in internship and employment.
Official website of Youyike Xi Branch said that 20 universities in Xi 'an have established design-related majors with Youyike, and at present, they have completed in-depth cooperation with 30 universities in Xi 'an.
It is worth noting that in the national enterprise credit information publicity system, on June 7, 20 16, a Xi Anyou Yike Network Technology Co., Ltd. was established. This company is the same as the legal person of Youyike Xi 'an Branch, with the same telephone number, but its address is 2065438+ on the second floor of the payment hall of the South Campus of Xi Foreign Affairs College where Liu Wen is studying.
On July 25th this year, Youyike Xi Branch was cancelled. This company, located in Xi Foreign Affairs College, began to take charge of all business including Youyike Xi Branch.
The cooperative companies of Shanxi Youyike Customer Service and official website Youyike are: Baidu, Xiaomi, Beijing Shenzhou Zhonglian Education Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Longfa Construction Company Shanxi Branch, widely advertised and traveled around the world and other well-known enterprises and companies.
The reporter found the above related companies. Baidu and Xiaomi personnel department staff replied that there was no cooperation; The company that publicly publicizes and runs the world explicitly denies the existence of a cooperative relationship with the agency.
The staff in charge of recruitment in the marketing department of Beijing Longfa Construction Company Shanxi Branch also said that the intermediary company had no cooperation with Youyike. He also explained that students with zero foundation cannot learn practical content related to graphic design through short-term training. "It is definitely not possible to take a crash course."
The staff pointed out that they did accept students recommended by schools or training companies, but whether they were finally hired or not had little to do with the students' diplomas and academic qualifications, and the students' strength played a leading role. If you want to apply for the position of designer, you must have at least 2 to 3 years of work experience.
The cooperative Beijing Shenzhou Zhonglian Company advises students to submit their resumes directly. "The opportunity to submit your resume is equal to the opportunity they recommend, and you can't go directly to the interview. It depends on whether the ability and resume are initially in line. "
Adding fuel to the fire from the loan platform
After the incident, Liu Wen's family helped her repay the loan in advance. But what makes Liu Wen angry is that there is a penalty for early repayment: she and her classmates paid off the remaining repayment at one time in April and May this year, and in addition to the principal and related service fees, they were also deducted from the penalty ranging from 500 yuan to 600 yuan.
In fact, according to Liu Wen's memory, during the repayment period, she consulted the loan undertaker three times, "Does prepayment affect the repayment amount?" The other party said there was no difference. Afterwards, both Lending Bear and Youyike Xi Branch said they didn't know the specific situation. The loan bear also said, "There should be liquidated damages, but you didn't ask at that time."
Wang Jia recalled that at the beginning of the training, some students first paid 800 yuan to the organization, and finally the loan amount of these students became 15000 yuan. "We don't know anything about online lending. We only know that we will give money to the organization after studying. As a result, the loan bear came when the contract was signed. "
In fact, as early as last year, the media disclosed that many companies carried out false propaganda in the name of education and training, so that students could bear high loans. The above-mentioned loan platform also appeared in the report at that time. These "assistance" from third-party platforms lowered the "threshold" for students to register for training, but they finally arrived as scheduled, without the dream job, but with high loan bills.
Liu Wen told reporters that the loan bear once said that the first 12 months is the first stage of repayment, and the service fee of 189.6 yuan is paid by the institution every month; In the second stage, students repay 1438. 13 yuan every month, in which the principal 13 17 yuan and the service fee 12 1. 13 yuan.
The reporter calculated an account. If the repayment is not made in advance, the total repayment amount that Liu Wen should pay is 19532.76 yuan, including the service fee of 3,728.76 yuan, and the service fee of 24 installments is as high as 23.6%. Only the principal and service charge of 12 installment are counted, and the service charge is 9% of the principal. The commitment in the loan service agreement clearly states that the annual interest rate of the loan is 6.5%.
In addition, although the borrower is the student himself, these students told reporters that in the first stage, the lender did not deduct money from the student account. This loan service agreement also clearly emphasizes that the teaching quality of the training institution, whether to arrange students' employment and whether the employment salary recommended by the institution meets my requirements have nothing to do with this loan and must fulfill the repayment obligation.
Training institutions introduce loan platforms, and graduates borrow money from credit institutions in their own names as "training fees" before joining the job, and these "training fees" are directly credited to enterprise accounts. On the surface, students can enter school without paying; But in fact, the high "service fee" in the loan process was passed on to college students. Once they have received the "training", no matter whether the training institution fulfills its promise or not, the high loans of the students themselves cannot be revoked or reduced.
The reporter called official website's cooperative phone, Loan Bear, and its service has been suspended. The customer service of Lending Bear Consulting said that the cooperation between lending institutions and training institutions is not "providing loan services to trainees of training institutions after institutional cooperation". Instead, when a training institution has students who need loans, the institution will recommend a loan platform.
Lawyers said that the promotion of Youyike was somewhat exaggerated and did not match the actual performance. "If it is different from what is agreed in the contract and fails to fulfill its obligations, it shall bear corresponding responsibilities for breach of contract. Students can claim the other party's liability for breach of contract through litigation. "
He also pointed out that schools, as cooperative training institutions, should protect the relevant rights and interests of students. Students lack relevant social experience, so teachers in charge of employment should bear the obligation to care for and protect students' rights.
Chen Fang also suggested that when signing a contract, students should see clearly whether the content is what they want, whether it is consistent with the agreement, whether the relevant rights and obligations are clear, whether the important names are clear, and whether the rights and interests are guaranteed.
At present, Liu Wen has gone home to prepare for the exam, and is ready to re-apply for the "big army" with the next graduates. Some of the students who trained together became kindergarten teachers, and some frequently changed their posts, all of which had nothing to do with graphic design. Only Wang Jia found a job that sounded relevant, but she said it was the result of her own efforts. "What I learned in the training class is not used at all."
