With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the demand for talents in relevant fields is also expanding.

According to the latest report released by Zhilian Research Institute on the 7th, the talent flow in the spring of 2022 presents new characteristics: the rate of Internet people changing careers increases, and they most want to develop in the manufacturing industry.

The report takes stock of the recruitment market one month after the Spring Festival and the characteristics of talent flow in the spring of 2022. The results show that the proportion of talent flow in the IT Internet industry is relatively low, and about 70% of talents still expect to work in the original industry. However, the mobility of talents in the Internet industry is increasing.

Compared with 2019, the proportion of it Internet talents who want to change careers in the spring of 2022 increased by about 10% compared with 2019, with a relatively large increase. Internet people most want to go to manufacturing, and the proportion has increased. This spring, 6.3% of Internet practitioners hope to turn to the processing and manufacturing industry during their job search, an increase of 2 percentage points over 2019, which is related to the development of intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet.

According to the statistical bulletin of national economic and social development in 2021 released by the National Bureau of statistics on February 28, the growth of new industries, new forms and new models has accelerated. Among industries above Designated Size, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 18.2% over the previous year, accounting for 15.1% of the added value of industries above Designated Size; The added value of equipment manufacturing industry increased by 12.9%, accounting for 32.4% of the added value of industries above designated size. The annual investment in high-tech industries increased by 17.1% over the previous year.

The 2022 government work report pointed out that it is necessary to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. We will promote the smooth operation of the industrial economy, strengthen the supply guarantee of raw materials and key parts, implement the project of ensuring and stabilizing the chain of leading enterprises, and maintain the safety and stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain. Focus on cultivating “specialized and special new” enterprises, and give strong support in terms of capital, talents and incubation platform construction. Promote the construction of a quality power and promote the industry to move towards medium and high-end.

The deepening of digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry also requires corresponding reserves of human resources.

On February 22, the Ministry of human resources and social security released the ranking of 100 occupations with recruitment greater than the “most deficient” in the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared with the third quarter of 2021, the “ranking” in the fourth quarter reflects the continuous shortage of labor in the manufacturing industry and the increase of labor shortage in the field of “intelligent manufacturing”. Since the release of 2019, the manufacturing industry has been ranked as the third and the sixth occupation, accounting for a higher proportion of the manufacturing industry since the release of 2019; There is a strong demand in the field of automobile production and consumption, and the ranks of new employees such as “auto parts remanufacturing”, “auto trim manufacturing” and “auto maintenance”; In the field of intelligent manufacturing, “multi process CNC machine tool operation and adjustment worker” and “industrial robot system operator” have risen, and the degree of labor shortage has increased.

During the two sessions, a number of deputies to the National People’s Congress made suggestions on the topic of manufacturing talents.

Zhang Xinghai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of the well-off group, submitted the “suggestions on encouraging and supporting young people to strive for industrial workers”. Zhang Xinghai believes that many young people now choose to deliver takeout and express, rather than enter factories as industrial workers. It is difficult to recruit workers in the manufacturing industry, which is not conducive to the long-term development of society. He suggested that all sectors of society should work together to encourage and support more young people to become industrial workers.

Li Jinbo, deputy to the National People’s Congress and director of the Innovation Research Institute of Midea Group’s household air conditioning division, made a suggestion to relevant engineers this year. Li Jinbo believes that the group of Chinese engineers has more than 70 million people, covering many fields such as aerospace, energy, communication and manufacturing, and has made a lot of contributions to improving the country’s scientific and technological level, economic development level and infrastructure level. Enterprises need more “generalists” who understand both traditional business and it technology. However, on the whole, the dedication and contribution of engineers, social identity and social respect need to be improved. It is suggested to establish “China engineers’ Day”.

Dai Tianfang, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chief technician of CNC milling in the 239 plant of the third Academy of Aerospace Science and industry of China, this year’s proposal is to correctly guide teenagers to combine their own interests and hobbies with compulsory education to serve diversified employment. “Our country should shift from high-speed development to high-quality development. Talents are the first strategic resource. I think the manufacturing industry must have successors.” He said in an interview with the media.
