East China’s Jiangsu province has taken targeted measures to create new jobs and stabilize employment in the post-pandemic economic recovery so as to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.
Jiangsu has launched training sessions for the 25 new occupations added to the list of occupations by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
The provincial department of human resources and social security has made continuous efforts to formulate professional competency standards, organize training and assessment for the new occupations that include the province’s first ever e-commerce livestreaming test in Yangzhou city in August.
In the meantime, Jiangsu has paid for the creation of grassroots job vacancies for the fresh college graduates. The new jobs created at the grassroots community for the college graduates include social grid management agents and some others.

Social grid agents are involved in community management services and all aspects of residents’ lives. Now grid agents are officially recognized as a new occupation, greatly improving its social recognition and credibility. I am also more confident to serve the residents well, and I believe that more college students will take full-time grid agents in their career choice.
Jiangsu has unveiled 11 measures to facilitate the employment for the fresh college graduates by extending preferential policies in the recruitment of civil servants and employees of government-sponsored institutions.
The city of Nanjing has allocated 1 billion yuan for the creation of 100 thousand trainee positions.
The city has also launched special job fairs for migrant workers, fishermen returning aquatic cultivation to lakes and rivers and ex-servicemen.
Jiangsu has also carried out "100-day free skills training" and offered e-training resources for more than 100 for occupations while strengthening online employment services to provide job seekers with all-weather and full-process services.
