With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, the demand for talents is undergoing profound changes. 2/kloc-what kind of talents do you really need in the century? In the future society, what qualities can people have to survive and develop? This is the focus of general concern at the turn of the century. Based on the current media reports, we can easily find that the so-called cross-century talents mainly include the following points:

One is to have both knowledge and ability. That is, the basic knowledge is solid, the knowledge is broad, the arts and sciences are combined, and all-round development is achieved. At the same time, we should have the ability to use knowledge and innovate. 2 1 century is a century of fierce competition. In the final analysis, it is the competition of national creativity and the competition of creative speed and efficiency of creative talents. All countries in the world attach great importance to the cultivation of creative talents. As early as 1982, the Japanese government put forward that "developing creativity is the guarantee to 2 1 century". Puxi, president of Harvard University in the United States, said: "Whether a person is creative or not is the watershed between first-class talents and second-class talents." Because in the new century, if you have no creative ability, you can only crawl behind others and even lose the right to live.

Second, talents with excellent comprehensive quality. The so-called comprehensive quality includes not only professional quality, but also ideological and moral quality, psychological quality and cultural quality, that is, compound talents with creativity, sound personality, dedication and cooperation spirit. Only people with strong adaptability, innovative spirit, good ideological and moral quality and team spirit can adapt to the needs of the country and society for future talents.

In recent years, with the in-depth development of the socialist market economy, the degree of marketization of human resources allocation is getting higher and higher, and the employment of college graduates is no longer "unified allocation". This fundamental change in the employment mechanism has had a great impact on college enrollment. Due to the acceleration of knowledge updating and the pre-employment of vocational training, many employers have paid more and more attention to the occupational plasticity of college students' comprehensive quality from the past. Some well-known companies recruit from famous universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua almost every year, and pay more attention to students' potential, creativity and adaptability.

According to reports, in recent years, Shanghai University has made a new move in the entrance examination: candidates do not fill in specific majors when filling in Shanghai University's volunteers, that is, students basically do not divide majors within two years of enrollment, and strengthen basic teaching and broaden majors by colleges or departments. From the third year of senior high school, at least 50% students can choose their favorite majors at will in their own colleges or departments. This "wide-caliber" enrollment method reduces the blindness of many candidates in choosing volunteers, and at the same time has an incentive effect on students who enter the university gate, prompting students to strengthen their study of mathematics, physics, literature, history, philosophy, computer and foreign languages in the first and second grades to meet the requirements of knowledge economy for talent training in colleges and universities. For the school, this move makes the school's prediction of the social demand for talents in two years more accurate, accurately grasps the society, and makes the combination of talent training in colleges and universities and national economic construction closer.

When the wheel of history enters the 2 1 century, the knowledge economy is also growling at us. In such a society, science and technology become the key factor to ensure the sustainable development of knowledge economy, and the guarantee for science to achieve sustainable development is talent. Undoubtedly, education, especially higher education, is duty-bound. In a sense, the next 2 1 century will be the century of education.

It can be asserted that the new century will only favor those countries with future education and high-quality talents with innovative spirit.
