THE Minhang Labor and Social Security Bureau this year plans an all-out assault on unemployment.
It plans to create 30,000 jobs, provide vocational training for 30,000 people in collaboration with companies that need professionals, offer help for 600 small and medium-sized businesses which in return will create another 3,000 jobs, and encourage career incubator bases to offer preferential policies.
Any Minhang native under 35 who starts his own business can enjoy a 3,000-yuan (US$441) subsidy each year for the first three years. People who take part in the vocational training courses staged by the Labor and Social Security Bureau will be offered 100-yuan subsidies to cover meal and transport costs.
Companies that employ local residents with disabilities or those from "low-income" and "zero-employment" families, will be granted a social insurance premium by the government.
Minhang has introduced tailor-made vocational training, and the first 87 - 44 veterans and 43 college graduates - started their new jobs as security guards in the Shanghai Security Service Co Minhang Branch this month and are being paid a 2,000-yuan salary.
"I'm happy to have a job in the currently frustrating financial climate," said the 22-year-old Zhao Lei, who finished his security guard training course and earned a national vocational qualification certificate last December. "All the tuition was paid by the local government."
In the next two months, Zhao and his fellow students will receive further training in basic detective skills and the management of confidential documents.
"This specific, on-demand training is welcomed by enterprises, which helps to balance the information flow between job seekers and employers," said Xie Fang from the Labor and Social Security Bureau. "We'll launch more vocational training in future to set up bridges between the two parties."
