The campaign targets this year's new college graduates and those who graduated in previous years and have not yet found employment, according to a release from the ministry.
Employers and human resources agencies have been mobilized to participate in on-site recruitment fairs of various scales with specialized, precise and customized focuses, the release said.
In cities with a large number of universities, as well as in central and western regions, cross-regional recruitment fairs will provide more job opportunities for local college graduates.
Industry-specific and region-specific online recruitment events will be launched in succession, and activities such as livestreaming recruitment events will be held frequently.
The campaign will be held at the China National Talent Network, and graduates can log in and search for job opportunities.
The first phase of the campaign from March 19 to 29 will see the launch of 19 offline recruitment fairs, eight cross-regional recruitment fairs and 26 online recruitment fairs in industries such as manufacturing, medicine and health, the internet, new energy and cross-border e-commerce.
There will be nine livestreaming job fairs, four online employment guidance events and one policy promotion activity, the release said. Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Wang Xiaoping said that with an estimated 11.58 million fresh graduates expected this year, employment pressures remain.
Meanwhile, the structural contradictions of job supply and demand mean it is difficult for some companies to find employees and also difficult for some graduates to find jobs, she said at a recent news conference.
However, with the recovery of the economy, the employment situation will pick up and remain stable, she said.
