Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan stressed the implementation of policies designed to facilitate the employment of college graduates in Hubei Province.
Leading a central government group to oversee the COVID-19 epidemic control work in Hubei, Sun, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks in a visit to Wuhan University.
She said state-sponsored rural employment programs will expand recruitment and demanded incentive policies to encourage more college graduates to join the military or start their own businesses.
Online recruitment services should be optimized, more support should be given to graduates in need and discrimination against job hunters from hard-hit areas should be eliminated, she said.
Sun also urged epidemic prevention and control efforts on campuses before students’ return. – Agencies
