Job Fairs

    Sias University holds large-scale job fairs every semester. The job fairs provide students with a platform to showcase their professional skills, communication, and quality to employers. They give graduating students the experience of a rigorous screening and selection process while helping them learn about various fields of employment and potential employers. The job fairs also implement directives from the Henan (Provincial) Education Conference. According to the Communist Party of China and the government, the employment of university graduates is important for the well-being of society as a whole. This, in turn, is the key to national economic development, social harmony, and stability.


    Sias has prioritized the employment of its graduating students and their awareness and ability towards innovation and entrepreneurship. Sias had focused on training students with vocational skills to increase their opportunities in the employment market. The goal is to ease the pressure for employment that students face, strengthen their employment prospects, and guide graduates in the correct avenues of job-hunting by expanding the employment channels. Graduates chose jobs that suit their talents, abilities, and intellectual capacities, according to their academic majors and interests.


    The Founder, and Chairman of the Board of Sias, Dr. Shawn Chen, has said that students need to make adequate preparations to face the increasingly fierce competition in the professional world. Students are encouraged to understand the current job market, have realistic goals concerning employment, work hard, and contribute to their families, society, and the nation.


    Some companies set up multifunctional experience areas to help students understand the work environment and requirements, and increase the rate of contract signing. The companies offering jobs are from a wide range of fields such as education consultation, economic management, advertising, finance, tourism, cultural communication, medicine, information technology (IT), energy, hotel management, construction, real estate, electronics, and machinery. The variety of fields are necessary as they cater to the employment needs of students from different academic majors at Sias.


    Sias supports students in their bid for employment and entrepreneurship through the Employment & Entrepreneurship Department, as well as Entrepreneurial Parks, and Alumni Associations, among other means, thereby building a diversified employment platform at the University. Students are also able to engage in venture project matching to further their entrepreneurial skills.


    Sias sets up career planning and employment consulting stations to aid students with their employment rate, résumé guidance, and career planning. The Employment and Entrepreneurship Department brought in senior employment guidance teachers to provide consultation services, address students' doubts, and teach students about employment policies. Senior human resources experts, academics, counselors, and career planners are present to provide employment guidance services for students. One-on-one professional counseling is available to hone students' job-hunting skills.


    With regard to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the employment of university graduates in China, Dr. Chen said that considering the national requirements for stable employment and employment protection, colleges and universities should prioritize employment for their graduates by providing accurate employment guidance. He said that the promotion of employment and entrepreneurship was related to people's livelihood, and was also important for accelerating the growth of innovation across the nation. Colleges and universities, he continued, should be 'matchmakers' for employers and graduates.
