Jilin University – based in Changchun, capital city of Northeast China's Jilin province – held a recruitment fair for graduates of the Class of 2023 on Nov 22, in a move to boost their employment prospects, according to local media reports.

The jobs fair attracted the wide participation of 256 enterprises – including China FAW Group, CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co and ZTE Corporation – providing 3,600 job opportunities.

Jilin University, will have a total of 19,844 students graduating in 2023 – including 10,104 undergraduates, 7,344 master's degree students and 2,396 doctorate students.

To facilitate their employment, since September 2022 Jilin University released more than 3,100 pieces of employment information, held more than 150 jobs fairs and launched 21 grassroots selection projects, providing a total of more than 600,000 job opportunities to students.

The current jobs market is said to show the typical characteristics of the employment gap between disciplines and majors. Although the ratio of graduates and jobs is 1:20, the jobs are mostly concentrated in engineering, science, informatics and interdisciplinary subjects.

To date, this year's autumn recruitment campaign has provided about 200,000 jobs for science and engineering students, accounting for about 33 percent of the total jobs supply. The quantity and quality of jobs in humanities, social sciences, agronomy, geology and some medical disciplines are said to need to be further improved.
