The SBA maintains contact with the employment guidance centre of the University and regularly forwards job offers to graduates. The SBA continues to provide facilities and services to assist students in employment at the end of their studies, and such services contribute to teaching and learning.
1. Career Development Support
The University has a career service centre, which comprehensively provides students with abundant career development opportunities, including innovation training projects, entrepreneurship training projects, entrepreneurial practice projects, and career camps. Outstanding students are selected to join career competitions on and outside campus, receive rewards, and gain practical abilities.
The career development centre of the SBA works closely with the employment guidance centre of the University and has posted links on the School website including ‘career development assessment’, ‘pre-career academy’, ‘employment and entrepreneurship class’, ‘China college students employment service platform’, and ‘employment and entrepreneurship research’. The ‘career development’ column on the website regularly posts job offers, career psychological counselling, workplace guidance, and so forth.
‘Meet at the workplace’ is an employment guidance series created by the SBA in 2010. In 2013, the series entered the ‘Jishi Cup’ project organised by the University. Subsequently, the series has consistently won funding from the Employment Guidance Centre. The main activities of the series include career development competitions. A list of recent ‘Meet at the workplace’ activities held by the SBA is shown in Table 1. In the last few years, the School has organised 60 ‘Master Job Hunter’ activities. Experts from within and outside the University are invited to deliver lectures on CV writing, job interview skills, job market and industry trends, and so forth.
