Elderly caregivers, funeral waiters, orthotic assemblers, prosthetic assemblers... These specialized professional workers who are active in the front line of civil affairs production services and technological innovation such as the "silver wave" and serving the disabled group have ushered in good news for career development—

"Smooth the channels for high-skilled civil affairs talents to professional and technical positions or management positions" "Support All localities have clarified the professional correspondence between high-skilled civil affairs talents participating in professional title evaluation, "strengthening the incentive orientation of skill value in salary distribution"... On the 14th, the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of High-skilled Civil Affairs Talent Team in the New Era" was released. This is the first document of high-skilled talents in the civil affairs field jointly issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. It points to the shortcomings of the civil affairs skilled talent team and makes institutional arrangements for talent training, use, evaluation, and incentives.

For some time, the civil affairs skilled talent team has had problems such as the overall shortage of the overall number, insufficient cultivation capabilities, and unreasonable structure. The issuance of the document is to grasp social and market demands, keep a close eye on the existing gaps and shortcomings, and help cultivate more and better high-skilled civil affairs talents.

Attacking social pain points, improve the full-chain system of high-skilled civil affairs talents -

Statistics show that my country's elderly population aged 65 and above exceeds 220 million, accounting for about 15.6% of the total population of the country, but there is still a large gap in the number of elderly care workers. The elderly population has a large base, aging is fast, and the demand for elderly care does not match the actual situation.

According to reports, my country's grassroots civil affairs skilled talent team has low education level and insufficient training funds. There are still gaps in civil affairs skilled talents in some fields, especially elderly care workers are facing a serious shortage.

To this end, the opinions clearly state that we should increase the efforts to cultivate talents, vigorously develop vocational education, innovate talent training models, and strengthen training for scarce talents. We especially propose to increase the efforts to train and train scarce talents such as elderly care workers.

"The opinion proposes to provide vocational training subsidies, vocational skills evaluation subsidies and skills improvement subsidies to meet the conditions, and establish a dynamic assessment and adjustment mechanism for subsidy standards." A relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs introduced.

In addition, the opinions also make arrangements for improving the talent use system and improving the talent incentive mechanism: optimizing the job use mechanism, encouraging employers to give priority to selecting high-skilled civil affairs talents in the organization management; smoothing the channels for the flow of high-skilled civil affairs talents to professional and technical positions or management positions; improving the level of talent benefits, improving the talent allowance and subsidy system, and increasing the intensity of talent incentives and commendation...

A series of "real" measures not only give the construction of my country's high-skilled civil affairs talent team a clear "task book", but also brings development confidence and new opportunities to these professional workers.

Break the "ceiling" of career development and improve the evaluation mechanism of skilled talents in civil affairs -

In the past, employers implemented the "five-level labor" system, namely junior workers, intermediate workers, senior workers, technicians, and senior technicians. The career development of high-skilled talents in civil affairs faces difficulties such as low "ceiling" and weak attractiveness.

In this regard, the opinions focus on broadening career development channels, propose to extend skill levels, and promote employers to expand their original occupations with high maturity and urgent needs from the "five-level labor" system to the new "eight-level labor" system: add apprentices downwards, and add special technicians and chief technicians upwards.

The opinions also support local governments to actively explore and clarify the professional correspondence between high-skilled civil affairs talents participating in professional title review, and promote the integration and development of high-skilled talents in accordance with the corresponding levels of professional and technical personnel, which further clarifies the career development path of high-skilled civil affairs talents.

Linking skill levels with career development can be said to be "giving both face and inside".

The opinions propose to further open up channels for skill level identification, support national social training evaluation organizations to implement civil affairs vocational skills certification; actively absorb the experience of all parties to explore and carry out vocational skills competitions...

"In the next step, we will work with all localities to implement the opinions well, and accelerate the cultivation and construction of a team of high-skilled talents that can effectively support the high-quality development of civil affairs." A relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.

Civil affairs skilled talents are an important part of the national skilled talent team. With the issuance and implementation of the document, we believe that in the field of civil affairs services, a group of high-quality workers and technical and skilled talents will emerge, and the era style of glorious labor, precious skills, and great creation will continue to write new chapters.
