CCTV News: Now is the critical period for college graduates to find jobs. In addition to market job information, the grassroots level is also a broad space for absorbing college graduates to find employment. A series of preferential policies have been introduced from the state to the local government to encourage college students to make achievements in these positions.

At present, the 2025 college student volunteer service plan is being registered, with about 50,000 people being recruited. A total of 8 special projects including rural education, rural social governance, defending the country and guarding the border have been set up. More than 90% of the positions are set up in grassroots units such as townships and below. Fresh graduates or graduate students in ordinary universities can register.

Liu Jingjing, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Dalian University of Technology, said: "Students who sign up for the Western Conference Program will provide a minimum living allowance of 24,000 yuan a year to help pay social insurance. After one to three years of service cycle, you will receive corresponding policy support in aspects such as extra points for postgraduate entrance examinations and admission to civil servants for the best choice."

The "Three Supports and One Help" program, which encourages college students to go to the grassroots to engage in teaching, agriculture, medical care and help rural revitalization services, recruited about 34,400 people last year, and is expected to expand the overall scale this year. This plan generally carries out recruitment and selection for full-time ordinary college graduates with college degree or above, and former college graduates who have not found employment within two years of leaving school, and requires corresponding professional knowledge in service positions.

Every provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) require about 10% of the civil servant admission plan every year, and targeted admission for grassroots project personnel such as the "Three Supports and One Help" plan. At present, the recruitment progress in various places is different, and the number of recruitment, position setting and subsidy standards also vary according to the region. For example, the central government's subsidies to the four prefectures and Tibet Autonomous Region in southern Xinjiang can reach 40,000 yuan per person per year, and local finances at all levels also have supporting subsidies.

This year, the "Special Post Plan" to guide and encourage college graduates to engage in rural compulsory education in the central and western regions will continue to be implemented. Special Post teachers will enjoy the same salary as local public teachers within the three-year service period. Those who pass the service period after the service period can be transferred to a professional position.
