Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Announces New Digital Professions

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Announces New Digital Professions

On June 14, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security publicly announced information on 18 new professions, including Robotics Engineering Technicians, Data Security Engineering Technicians, and Carbon Sink Measurement and Assessment Engineers, covering various emerging fields such as the digital industry and green industry.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Announces New Digital Professions

According to a relevant official from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the new professions announced this time have the following characteristics:

First, they reflect the needs of the digital economy.The newly announced professions such as “Robotics Engineering Technicians,” “Additive Manufacturing Engineering Technicians,” “Data Security Engineering Technicians,” “Digital Solution Designers,” “Database Administrators,” “Information System Adaptation Verifiers,” “Digital Twin Application Technicians,” “Business Data Analysts,” and “Agricultural Digital Technicians” are categorized and labeled based on their distinct digital characteristics.

Second, they align with the trend of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.As the energy and economic structure quietly changes, new professions such as “Carbon Sink Measurement and Assessment Engineers,” “Comprehensive Energy Service Personnel,” “Building Energy Efficiency and Emission Reduction Consultants,” and “Coal Quality Improvement Workers” have emerged.

Third, they meet the needs of people’s better lives.For example, the newly emerged professions such as “Homestay Managers,” “Urban Rail Transit Maintenance Workers,” “Veterans Affairs Officers,” “Family Education Instructors,” and “Study Tour Guides.” Among them, the booming homestay industry has seen the number of “Homestay Managers” grow from zero to over a million in just a few years.

Digital skills are in high demand, with a talent gap of nearly ten million.According to the “New Profession Online Learning Platform Development Report” released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s China Employment Training Technical Guidance Center in collaboration with Alibaba DingTalk, in the next five years, the demand for new profession talents will be enormous, with an estimated 1.5 million Cloud Computing Engineers, 5 million IoT Installation and Debugging Technicians, 1 million Drone Pilots, 2 million Esports Players, 1.5 million Esports Operators, 1.5 million Agricultural Managers, 5 million AI Talents, 1.3 million Building Information Modeling Technicians, and 1.25 million Industrial Robot System Operators and Maintenance Workers, with the number of Digital Management Professionals exceeding 2 million, resulting in a talent gap of nearly ten million.

The report points out that the preference for digital skills has become a significant characteristic of the new profession era.Digital Management Professionals, Drone Pilots, AI Engineering Technicians, Agricultural Managers, and IoT Engineering Technicians are the new professions that users most want to learn. Among them, those born in the 1960s prefer Agricultural Managers, while those born in the 2000s prefer Esports Operators.

In terms of regional distribution, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Beijing, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hebei, Hubei, and Sichuan have the highest number of learners for new professions, and the popularity of new professions injects new momentum into urban development, giving rise to more and more “new employment cities.”

In terms of age demographics, those born in the 1980s and 1990s are the main force in new professions, accounting for 83%. “Career freedom” has become the work style pursued by young people. Career freedom refers to the ability of professionals to master multiple career skills and choose more than two careers, having the autonomy to select their employment.

In terms of career development, 83% of those born in the 1980s have encountered career crises or bottlenecks, with the proportion for those born in the 1990s being 82%. Compared to other age groups, those born in the 1990s are the most worried about unemployment, with 79% expressing concern. 95% of users believe that learning new professions and enhancing their development potential are key factors in overcoming career crises.

1. How to Define New Professions, What Information is Included in New Professions?

New professions refer to those not included in the “Occupational Classification Standard of the People’s Republic of China” (hereinafter referred to as the Standard), which have a certain scale of practitioners in social and economic development and possess relatively independent and mature professional and skill requirements.

New profession information mainly includes: profession name, profession code, profession definition, and main tasks, which are basically consistent with the profession information in the Standard. Professions with “environmental protection, low carbon, recycling,” and other green characteristics are marked as green professions, uniformly identified by the initial letter “L” of the Chinese pinyin for “green profession.”

2. When was the New Profession Information Release System Established in Our Country, and What is Its Significance?

Establishing a new profession information release system is an internationally accepted practice and an important part of the dynamic adjustment mechanism for occupational classification. In 1999, our country issued the first Standard, which included 1,838 professions. Entering the new century, with the rapid development of our economy and society, industrial structure adjustments, scientific and technological progress, and mass entrepreneurship and innovation, many new business formats have emerged in society that urgently need to be recognized and standardized at the national level, leading to the emergence of the new profession information release system. The first new profession information release work began in 2004, and by 2009, a total of 12 batches of over 120 new professions had been released. After 2010, the country initiated the revision of the Standard. In July 2015, the 2015 edition of the Standard was issued. Nearly four years after the issuance of the 2015 edition of the Standard, with the development of the economy and society, scientific and technological progress, and industrial structure adjustments, new industries, new business formats, and new models have given rise to new professions, necessitating the restart of the new profession information release work.

The significance of the new profession information release system. First, it is conducive to promoting employment and entrepreneurship. By standardizing new professions through the release of new profession information, it accelerates the development of job positions, expands employment capacity, strengthens career guidance and employment services, and promotes laborers’ employment and entrepreneurship. Second, it is conducive to promoting the reform of vocational education and training. It encourages the alignment of professional settings, course content with social needs and actual production, enhancing the quality of vocational education and training, and ensuring that talent cultivation and training closely align with social needs. Third, it is conducive to improving our country’s occupational classification and occupational standards system. By incorporating new professions into the national occupational classification for unified management and accelerating the development of occupational skill standards based on industrial development and talent team construction needs, it helps establish a dynamically updated occupational classification system and improve the occupational standards system.

3. What Impact Does the Release of New Profession Information Have?

The release of new profession information makes the national occupational classification system more scientifically sound and better serves national economic information statistics, human resource development management, vocational education training, and talent evaluation work, providing a scientific basis for the country to formulate relevant industrial development policies, conduct research and analysis on changes in employment population structure and labor supply and demand, and develop human resource market policies. The impact on employers and practitioners mainly lies in standardizing employers’ job settings, personnel recruitment, employee training, etc., making career development planning for practitioners clearer, which is conducive to promoting their professional capabilities and qualities.
