The city of Nanjing will earmark 1 billion yuan to provide 100 thousand trainee positions for the postgraduates with master’s and doctoral degrees in a bid to alleviate the pressure on the job market in the post-pandemic recovery.
Enterprises and R&D institutions in 8 industrial chains are encouraged to provide trainee positions by offering stipends, subsidizing startups and rewarding employers that recruit the postgraduates. By doing so, Nanjing is offering thousands of vacancies for this year’s graduates. China's college graduates are having a more difficult time finding jobs amid the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
