/ Aswuntong/August 31, 2022 Guangzhou - From August 23 to 25, 511 graduates of the year of 2022 came to Lenovo's global headquarters in Beijing's Hougang Village to participate in the "first class" of Lenovo FY22/23 Graduate Sailing Program.

There are 24 percent undergraduates and 74 percent master's students in this class. They come from different universities such as Communication University of China, Xiamen University and Wuhan University. And in the "first class of the semester", they all have a common identity: fresh graduates of Lenovo Group. They experienced the culture of Lenovo Group together during the three-day training activity, and learned from Lenovo Group executives, seniors from business departments and career training experts.

"Together, you have created the largest annual intake of fresh graduates in the history of Lenovo Group!" As the representative of outstanding "fresh graduates", Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, sent a message to the new graduates: "Lenovo needs you who dare to think, do and innovate, to contribute to the construction of an 'intelligent building'." Thirty-three years ago this summer, Yang Yuanqing was one of those young men, dressed in a white shirt, who joined Lenovo Group as a fresh graduate.

Compared with last year, the proportion of enterprises recruiting new graduates has decreased, with nearly 30% of enterprises not recruiting new graduates, according to the Special Survey on the policy of New Graduates of Enterprises in 2022. "The current economic development, market and industry development, for the company is under pressure, but even under such circumstances, we doubled the recruitment, in order to better build the talent system of Lenovo, and also in order to new blood to drive the company's reform." Gao LAN, senior vice president and chief human resources officer of Lenovo Group, said that Lenovo continued to recruit for the spring recruitment in 2022, and the scale of recruitment is four times that of previous years.

Chen Yuting, a fresh graduate, got the offer in April this year. Due to the conflict between the autumn recruitment time and graduation time, Chen Yuting did not participate in the autumn recruitment. When it came to the spring recruitment, she found that she could deliver very few suitable positions, and even many of the resumes she delivered were ignored.

But even if she got the offer, Chen Yuting and her classmates were not at ease. The Internet broke the news that many enterprises were laying off employees and breaking contracts. According to public data, the number of college graduates in 2022 exceeded 10 million for the first time, reaching 10.76 million, while the number of graduates in 2023 is expected to be 11.74 million, nearly 1 million more. Job hunting is not just a matter of "income" for this class of graduates, according to the White Paper on the Recruitment of Chinese Enterprises in 2022. Today's graduates pay more attention to "security" when choosing a career.

"While expanding the recruitment scale of fresh graduates, we also pay great attention to the joint growth of employees and the company, so that they can get high-quality employment", said Liu Yingli, director of global learning and development of Lenovo Group, fresh graduates will get systematic training, stable offer, full of security.

To this end, Lenovo Group has also planned a history of the largest training - "sail program", to help fresh graduates better adapt to the working environment. Affected by the epidemic, the training in the first two years was mostly carried out in the form of online live streaming. In this year's "first class", new recruits can not only "meet new colleagues from other business departments online", but also participate in a number of carefully planned interactive sessions.

This group of fresh graduates also have a lot of post-00, newly recruited Ruan Yiting is one of 13.4%. When seeing their own drawing and other partners together into a huge painting, Ruan Yiting can not help but sigh: "I am a member of this class of graduates, an indispensable member."

"We have learned that current graduates do not like to lecture, so we have added more creative activities in this training", Liu Yingli introduced, in addition to the "first class", Lenovo Group will also carry out music growth career salon, music school live class, Lenovo wisdom E-class recommendation, growth award ceremony and other activities for new graduates.

Qiao Jian, Senior Vice President, Chief strategy officer and Chief Marketing officer of Lenovo Group, Jia Zhaohui, senior vice president of Lenovo Group and head of IDG consumer business and Leading Innovation Center, and many other senior executives who grew up from "fresh graduates" also participated in the dialogue with the new MOE. "We also feel that when we do team activities, you always belong to a team," Qiao said. We are making technological advances for humanity and creating a better future, not just for ourselves but for the wider community."

There is another characteristic of the new graduates, the proportion of jobs in the technical category reached 60%. Previously, in 2021, Lenovo Group launched the "Global Large-scale Recruitment Plan for core science and Technology Talents", planning to recruit 12,000 science and technology talents from the society and universities around the world in a large scale in three years.
