Co-hosted by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Shanghai Municipality, this annual competition marked a significant milestone in China’s educational landscape. It served as the nation’s first specialized event aimed at promoting high-quality, full employment for college graduates. The overarching theme, “Building Young People’s Dreams and Setting Sail for the Future,” emphasized fostering moral integrity, promoting career planning, and providing a platform to enhance employment opportunities while maintaining a balance between talent supply and demand.
The competition spanned school, provincial, and national levels, catering to both underclassmen pursuing a “career development” track and upperclassmen focusing on the “employment” track. Additionally, a teaching competition track for college educators in career development and employment guidance courses enriched the event’s offerings.

Five esteemed higher education institutions (HEIs) played pivotal roles in organizing the finals for various competition tracks. These institutions—Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai University of Technology, Shanghai Normal University, and Shanghai Art and Design Academy—contributed to the event’s success by providing a robust platform for students to showcase their skills and knowledge in career planning and development.
Ji Ning and Lin Zhiyi’s outstanding performances and subsequent gold awards serve as a testament to the dedication and talent nurtured within PKU Shenzhen Graduate School. Their achievements not only reflect the excellence of their respective institutions but also underscore the importance of comprehensive career planning and guidance in higher education.
As the curtains draw to a close on the 1st National University Student Career Planning Competition, organizers, participants, and supporters eagerly anticipate the continued success and growth of this pioneering initiative in shaping the future of China’s workforce.
