The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRSS) has announced the launch of its "Job Search for the Future - 2024 Major Cities Joint Recruitment for College Graduates Spring Drive," which will run from March 20th to May 31st.
This recruitment drive features:
- Industry-specific job fairs for high-demand and talent-short areas, such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and renewable energy
- Regional job fairs aligned with national development strategies, including the Belt and Road Initiative, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
- Flexible, targeted, and tailored recruitment fairs that cater to local industry needs and the requirements of both graduates and employers
The drive also offers a range of support services:

- Organization of field trips, career experiences, and mock training sessions to enhance graduates' job-seeking skills

The drive will prioritize cities with high concentrations of universities, large numbers of graduates, and significant employment needs, particularly in underdeveloped regions in central and western China. It will facilitate comprehensive and industry-specific inter-regional recruitment fairs, encouraging employers from other provinces to participate and bring job opportunities directly to local graduates.
