In 2012, 6.8 million students graduated from universities in China, according to China's Education Ministry. In the U.S., only 1.8 million students are expected to earn a colleague degree in 2012-2013, according to National Center for Education Statistics. With so many grads, you might assume it is easy to recruit new grads in China. In reality, however, many companies find it a challenge to hire qualified new grads in China.

A recent report showed that 570,000 of 6.8 million college graduates remained jobless after graduation. Among them, 100,000+ neither go to school nor receive vocational skills and rely on financial support from their parents. These students are so-called NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) group.

Why do these students have trouble finding jobs? Some say that they lack of career planning and often search for jobs aimlessly. Others think the root of the problem is Chinas current university education system. There is a disconnect between what the universities taught and what the market really need. For example, computer science majored students learn to program school, but few can design efficient algorithms to solve real-world problems or build software in a team.


According to Chinas Education Ministry, there are 2,138 universities and colleges in China as of April 2012. However, not all Chinese universities and colleagues are created equal. China government launched two programs (coded 211 and 985) to select a very small nubmer of top schools to accelerate into world-class universities. Those chosen schools represented a small percentage of Chinas universities/colleges, but they received much more resources than other schools.
