Ningbo kicks off job fair to seek overseas talent

ABOUT 1,500 domestic companies have taken part in the fair, releasing more than 1,000 human talent and science projects. An estimated 8,000 new jobs will be introduced during the event.

Each year, the local government undertakes a survey to show the types of jobs that are most needed. This year, the city adopted for the first time a comparative study method to evaluate the city’s talent resources and competence in the regional market by researching the job markets in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi, all located in the Yangtze River Delta economic zone.

The survey concluded there were 587 urgent job needs, covering five economic sectors. It also showed the market demand for innovative talent is still high, as most companies are used to adopting rather than inventing new products and technologies.

Seven job positions stand out as most urgent for the city — new-material engineers, car components engineers, senior architects, e-commerce managers, fashion designers, pharmaceutical experts and automation equipment experts.

The job fair places a premium on attracting those who have acquired a master’s or a doctorate degree overseas. The local government will provide “mother care” services for such talents, offering them funds, welfare, houses, family settlement and healthcare.
