NO matter whether they are migrant workers, office workers or fresh university graduates, in the face of the economic downturn, all are under the pressure of employment.
There is now a trend in Jiading District ?? more residents are taking the initiative to get professional training or sit for exams for better qualifications, so as to raise their employability.
Fu Jie is a public servant. Since this month, he has been traveling to downtown area every Friday and Saturday, studying as a working postgraduate.
When asked why he pursues a master's degree since he already has a secure job, he says no one should be satisfied with the knowledge he or she has.
"With the higher demands of employment, it is getting more and more necessary to continue learning," Fu says. "I've seen some colleagues achieve great improvements after two years' study in postgraduate courses."
Although up to now Fu has only taken a few lessons, the feeling as a student has come back to him again. "After working for several years, I feel myself accustomed to following the prescribed order step by step. There is little independent thinking," he says. "I believe further study will keep me in a good condition and adapt me for the higher requirements of the job."
Yao Jian is a junior student at Shanghai College of Science and Technology. His major is communications. He recently got a certificate as a computer network technician. In Yao's eyes, more certificates can expand one's job ranges.
Liu Caihua, Yao's teacher, says almost all 81 students majoring in communications have the certificate. Seventy-four of them have got the letters of intent from the enterprises. Xu Guorong is one of the post-1980s generation. He has set up an auto maintenance factory at Xuhang Town. Apart from hard working, continuous study is one of the reasons contributing to his success.
After graduation from Shanghai Dazhong Technical School with a major in auto maintenance in 2001, he worked for some time at a small auto maintenance factory where he found himself lacking professional skills and knowledge. Then he entered an advanced training class at Shanghai International Automobile City Talents College and got a certificate. He started his own factory later and now is encouraging his 10 employees to take courses.
Studying has also helped farmers achieve increasing yields. Xuan Huiming from Waigang Village has applied his knowledge from agricultural training classes in growing rice.
"Nowadays, scientific methods are the secret for high yields," Xuan says. "If we only rely on the experiences inherited from our ancestors, it will be hard to achieve more."
Under his efforts, the production volume per hectare at the Quanjing Village Grain Production Cooperative Association, which covers 173.67 hectares, reached 9,300 kilograms, 750 kilograms more than the average yield.
