Chapter 478 Upgrading Vocational Technical School

Early the next morning, the statistical results of the job fair were delivered to Zhang Jiagang's desktop.

"350 people moved to such a large job fair, but in the end only 350 people reached an agreement with the employer!"

Looking at this result, Zhang Jiagang felt terrible!

According to Zhang Jiagang's original plan, of the 15,000 jobs provided by this job fair, even if the situation is not ideal, 7,000 to 8,000 people can still find jobs.

The final number of 350 people was really different from expectations!

Of the 350 laid-off workers who reached an agreement with their employer, there will definitely be less than 300 who will eventually pass the probation period and be truly re-employed. Based on this calculation, this job fair was a complete failure.

"Last year alone, there were nearly 30,000 laid-off workers in the city, and it is estimated that there will be many more this year. However, this job fair can only create 350 jobs. It will take a long time before tens of thousands of laid-off workers are re-employed!

"

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiagang felt a headache.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and said, "Leader, Li Weidong, the chairman of Puppy Electric, called to make an appointment and said he wanted to see you."

"Li Weidong, he has the nerve to come to me!" Zhang Jiagang snorted in his heart.

The Puppy Electric Factory said it would provide 2,000 positions, but only hired a dozen people in one morning. Naturally, it became the winner of the "Most Disappointing Award" in Zhang Jiagang's mind.

After learning about the "equal pay for equal work" working system at the Puppy Electric Factory, Zhang Jiagang already understood that Li Weidong had deliberately falsely reported 2,000 jobs.

In Zhang Jiagang's mind, Li Weidong was obviously acting in a counter-intuitive manner. On the surface, he said he was doing well, but in fact, he was playing tricks on him.

Now that Li Weidong came to ask for a meeting, Zhang Jiagang didn't want to see him, but after careful consideration, Li Weidong is also a famous private entrepreneur after all. If he didn't see him, it wouldn't be good to spread the word.

So Zhang Jiagang still said: "You can arrange a time for me according to your schedule!"

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Weidong came to Zhang Jiagang's office as scheduled.

"Secretary Zhang, at yesterday's job fair, I originally planned for you to be there to cheer, but you didn't make it back in time. By the time the bus drove into Qinghe City, the job fair was over!"

Li Weidong continued with a smile; "But I heard that the job fair was held very smoothly and was a complete success. Many laid-off employees were successfully re-employed through this job fair!"

Li Weidong's words were purely polite, while Zhang Jiagang smiled coldly and said: "The job fair can be successfully held without the participation of enterprises in the city and the support of entrepreneurs like Chairman Li."

As Zhang Jiagang spoke, he changed his tone and asked: "Chairman Li, your puppy electrical appliance factory should have hired a lot of people, right? Are there twenty?"

Li Weidong heard the sarcasm in Zhang Jiagang's words, but as a modern Zhou Bapi, he was not embarrassed at all, but smiled and replied: "Yesterday, our Puppy Electric hired a total of 27 people!"

"We have hired 27 of the 2,000 jobs, which is really a lot!" Zhang Jiagang continued to mock.

"Yesterday we recruited 27 people, but today only 23 people came to the factory to report. After these 23 people visited the factory, 11 people left directly, and there are still 12 people left." Li Weidong continued.

When he heard that more than half of them were gone, Zhang Jiagang was immediately furious. He said angrily: "So, the number of people here who have been laid off and re-employed will have to be subtracted by 15 more!"

Li Weidong calmly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's more than that. The elimination rate of pre-job training in our factory is generally about 30%. This is still for young people. Older people are inherently slow to learn things. Pre-job training

The elimination rate of training will be higher. I estimate that only six or seven people will stay in the end."

There were 2,000 positions, 27 people were recruited, and six or seven were left. Li Weidong still pretended to be calm, which made Zhang Jiagang so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.

Zhang Jiagang suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Chairman Li, if you don't want to come to this kind of job fair, just say it clearly. There is no need to use this method to fool someone!"

"Secretary Zhang, I don't mean to be careless. I sincerely want to help laid-off workers find new jobs. It's just that people don't like our puppy electrical appliance factory and don't come to sign up. We can't force people to come over!"

Li Weidong answered innocently.

"Why don't any of the laid-off workers go to your factory to sign up? Are you worried?" Zhang Jiagang snorted coldly, and then said: "With your factory's so-called equal pay for equal work, how can any laid-off workers be willing to go!"

"Secretary Zhang, this is why I came to see you today." Li Weidong continued: "Have you ever thought about why I went to the countryside to recruit people for the same job, and sent people to my factory one by one, but when they were laid off?

Why didn’t anyone sign up for the employee recruitment fair?”

Zhang Jiagang immediately replied: "That's because the work intensity in your factory is too high. It's 997, 887, twelve hours a day, no rest days, and you have to work overtime from time to time. Those laid-off employees are not young anymore, so why?

I can handle this kind of intensity of work!”

"Is it because I can't bear it, or because I don't want to do it?" Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: "I also came from a state-owned enterprise. It's not like I didn't work overtime in the state-owned enterprise before, and it's not like I wasn't always on call.

Just like when I was working as a dispatcher in a transportation company, transportation tasks increased, and it was common to stay in the unit for fifteen or six hours. During the rainy season, when there were flood relief tasks, all employees were on call 24 hours a day!

There was no overtime pay at that time!

The same goes for other companies. During the planned economy era, when urgent production tasks came down, everyone worked overtime to try to complete the tasks as soon as possible. There were no rest days at that time, let alone an eight-hour work system. Just call it dedication.

Just stick to your job and work overtime without any regrets!"

"Well... times have changed after all!" Zhang Jiagang said.

Li Weidong said: "The work in our factory is very intense and requires overtime, but since they were able to work overtime before, why can't they work overtime now? I'm not looking for a leisurely job."

If you want that kind of leisurely position, it's not impossible. The problem is that you have to show the corresponding skills and academic qualifications. If a college student applies for a job, can I let him work in the workshop? I must let him work in the office.

If you don’t have a degree, you can have skills. My Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery are both in need of skilled workers in turning, milling, and planing. Anyone who is proficient in turning, milling, and planing can be found anywhere!

If an engineer comes, I will give him a high salary and a house. Secretary Zhang, to tell you the truth, the salary of our senior engineer of Fukang Engineering is higher than that of you, the top leader of Qinghe City!"

"My salary is not very high, mainly because my daily expenses are small." Zhang Jiagang quickly explained.

Li Weidong continued: "Our electrical appliance factory has high work intensity, so job seekers are reluctant to come. But as far as I know, it is not just our Puppy Electric Appliances that job seekers are reluctant to come.

There are some jobs that offer relatively low wages, so no one is interested. There are also some companies that offer jobs that are not very respectable, and job seekers don’t want to sign up because of their face.

But for most of these jobs, if the public recruits people, there are still people who are willing to take them. So in the final analysis, it is difficult for laid-off workers to find re-employment. The problem does not lie with the companies that provide the jobs, but with the job seekers!

"

Zhang Jiagang's face darkened, and he looked a little unhappy. He said, "Chairman Li, according to you, if laid-off employees cannot find jobs, they have to blame themselves entirely? Does the company have nothing to do with it? Can't the company provide it?"

Are there any jobs suitable for laid-off workers?"

"Secretary Zhang, there is one thing. We have to figure it out first. Should we set up positions based on work needs, or should we set up positions based on personal abilities?" Li Weidong asked.

Zhang Jiagang fell silent immediately. From a moral point of view, although he wanted to stand on the side of the laid-off workers, he obviously could not do so according to the rules.

Li Weidong said: "Whether it is government agencies, institutions, or enterprises, all jobs are set up based on the actual needs of the work. People in this position should also have the work skills suitable for the position.

No unit will set up jobs based on the personal abilities of employees, so it is unreasonable for companies to specifically provide jobs suitable for laid-off employees.

When laid-off employees want to be re-employed, they need to have the ability level to be qualified for the new job. This is the core issue. But the situation we are facing now is that laid-off employees do not have the skills to be qualified for the new job!

Most laid-off workers lack skills and can only do the most basic jobs. However, the most basic jobs are either very intensive and low-paying, or they are high-intensity and low-paying.

For migrant workers who come to work in cities, they can accept this most basic job, but for laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises, they are definitely not willing to engage in this basic job.

As a result, things are stuck here. A good job requires skills and academic qualifications, so they can't do it! Basic work is hard and tiring and makes little money, so they are unwilling to do it!

If you want to solve this problem from the root, just relying on the Labor Bureau to hold a few job fairs will not help at all. Relying on enterprises to divert some people is better than nothing. The key is to equip laid-off workers with employment skills."

"You mean to provide skills training for laid-off workers?" Zhang Jiagang asked immediately.

Li Weidong nodded: "As far as the current situation is concerned, if we want to solve the problem of reemployment of laid-off workers, this is a temporary and fundamental solution."

"Our city has not thought about energy-saving training for laid-off workers, and has tried it before, but it is relatively difficult to implement."

Zhang Jiagang continued: "Previously, the Labor Bureau used some special funds to hold a training class for laid-off workers, but the effect was not satisfactory! Not many people were successfully employed in the end."

"This is normal. Vocational training is a systematic thing that requires experienced professionals. It is not just a temporary training class that will produce results."

Li Weidong continued: "The number of laid-off workers in our city is probably tens of thousands now, right? And according to current trends, the number will increase in the next few years, so a systematic vocational training mechanism should be established."

"It's easier said than done! For systematic vocational training, where does the money come from? Where do the people come from? Where do the software and hardware facilities come from?" Zhang Jiagang asked rhetorically.

Li Weidong immediately replied: "As for people, money can solve it. Software and hardware facilities can also be solved with money, so the key is money. As for money, maybe I can help a little!"

"Chairman Li? Are you willing to pay?" Zhang Jiagang asked in surprise.

Li Weidong took out a document from his briefcase, handed it to Zhang Jiagang, and then said: "Secretary Zhang, this is a plan I made. Please take a look at it."

Zhang Jiagang took the document, opened it, glanced at it quickly, and then asked: "Do you plan to expand the driving school into a vocational and technical school?"

Li Weidong nodded: "Driving is originally a vocational skill. Since the establishment of our Qinghe Driving School, we have accumulated a lot of experience. I think it is feasible to use the driving school as the foundation to expand other vocational education. This is better than setting up a separate profession

Technical schools should be more convenient and easier.

In the plan, I also listed several vocational training projects, such as home appliance repair and motorcycle repair. These are relatively popular projects. Now every household has household appliances, and the streets are full of motorcycles. Learn how to

With these two technologies, there is no need to worry about having nothing to eat!

There is also this chef. It is not difficult to learn. The key is not to go hungry. In this era of famine, I have never heard of a cook starving to death. If you have good cooking skills and save a little money, you can still cook by yourself.

Open a shop on the roadside and be a small boss.

In addition, plumbers and electrical welders are also very versatile. Many companies and individual bosses need this type of technical work. If you learn plumbers and electrical welders, you will definitely not have to worry about finding a job.

Laid-off female workers can learn this beauty and hairdressing technology, as well as pastry and pastry technology. These two jobs do not require much physical labor and are very suitable for lesbians. They also have broad employment prospects. As long as they are not like Teacher Ge, they all need to shave their heads!

These skills are easier to find after you learn them. The key is that they are not difficult to learn, the threshold is relatively low, and you can master them without any academic qualifications. This is more suitable for laid-off workers."

After listening to Li Weidong's introduction, Zhang Jiagang nodded frequently, obviously already tempted.

Li Weidong continued: "To carry out vocational training in these projects, large investments are indispensable. In this regard, my company is willing to invest RMB 20 million to complete this project!"

"Chairman Li, are you really willing to pay 20 million?" Zhang Jiagang suddenly looked surprised, and his previous anger towards Li Weidong completely dissipated.

Li Weidong nodded, and then continued; "But the premise is that the city must support this project!"

"Support can solve the re-employment problem for tens of thousands of laid-off workers in our city. Of course the city will support it!" Zhang Jiagang said without hesitation.

"Okay, let me talk about my conditions." Li Weidong continued; "First of all, we must first clarify the nature of the vocational training school.

The previous driving school was not a public operation, but a half-share owned by me and the Transportation Bureau. It was a semi-public and semi-private training school. I hope to continue to adopt this model and continue to be run by me."

"In principle, there is no problem. After all, you are the investor, so the school should be handed over to you." Zhang Jiagang agreed.

"The second issue is the issue of school qualifications. Vocational education is also education. The state has relatively strict control in this regard, so the city needs to coordinate." Li Weidong answered.

"Don't worry about this. Leave it to me to get the school qualifications. This is to solve the problem of re-employment of laid-off workers. It is impossible for you to run a school illegally!" Zhang Jiagang replied simply.

"The third issue is the land issue. I need the city to approve another batch of land for school expansion." Li Weidong said.

"How many are needed?" Zhang Jiagang asked immediately.

"You have to give me another 300 acres no matter what!" Li Weidong held out three fingers.

Zhang Jiagang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "300 acres is a bit much, but I'll try my best to help you get it!"

Hearing Zhang Jiagang's reply, Li Weidong knew that he would be short of money. He had already known that he would need 500 acres.

Then Li Weidong continued: "The fourth issue is the people problem. When the school is built, it will definitely need to recruit teachers, so I need some establishment to recruit teachers."

"Establishment!" Zhang Jiagang frowned and did not agree immediately.

Li Weidong said: "Just give me some self-financed business staff, and there is no need for finance to bear the additional salary of teaching staff. After all, it is easier to recruit people if there is a staff!

For example, if you hire some senior chefs, hairdressers, and plumbers with money, they may not be willing to come, but if you have a business establishment and at least look good, it will be much easier to hire people."

"If it's just a self-supporting business, then there's no problem." Zhang Jiagang agreed.

If it is a fiscally allocated business establishment, Zhang Jiagang may have to carefully weigh the pros and cons, but for a self-financed business establishment, it is much easier to get approval. It only requires a signature from the Personnel Bureau, and it will not occupy financial funds.

Just listen to Zhang Jiagang continue to say: "Chairman Li, I have written down these conditions of yours. I will also read the report you submitted carefully, and then take it to the city and study it carefully with other leaders. We

I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible!”

Zhang Jiagang said, symbolically flipping through a page of the report to show that he would read it carefully.

With such a casual glance, Zhang Jiagang saw the last training project.

Compared with cooking, pastry, and beauty salons, this training program is like a wolf that eats and drinks among huskies.

"Excavator operation? Why is there such a training program?" Zhang Jiagang frowned inexplicably.
