Chongqing releases new implementation measures for youth employment internships, which will come into effect on October 1

China News Service, Chongqing, September 24 (Reporter Zhong Yi) The Chongqing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau announced on the 24th that in order to solve the pain points of youth employment internships and get rid of employment blockages, the city has issued a new version of the "Chongqing Youth Employment Internship Implementation Measures" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which will be implemented on October 1. All newly applied for internship units and newly participated employment internships will be implemented in accordance with the new policy.

What changes have been made to the Measures? How to ensure youth employment? In this regard, the Chongqing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau provided an interpretation.

Employment internship is an employment preparation activity that organizes college graduates and other young people who are willing to find employment to go to employment internship units recognized by the human resources and social security department to carry out full-time practical training on the job.

The core value of this policy is that it does not directly provide a job, but provides a period of "paid training" to allow young people to learn skills, accumulate experience and find direction in real positions. During the internship period, no labor relationship will be established between the young people and the internship unit, no social insurance will be paid, and the status of fresh graduates will be retained, allowing young people to experience the workplace and explore possibilities without any worries.

According to reports, since Chongqing officially launched the employment internship program in 2009, a total of 349,000 young people have participated in it.

The newly issued "Measures" clearly stipulate the protection of the rights and interests of youth employment trainees.

In terms of basic living expenses, the trainee unit pays basic living expenses to the trainees every month, which shall not be lower than the first level of the Chongqing minimum wage standard to ensure that the young people have a worry-free basic life during the trainee period. This amount of money is paid in full on a monthly basis and is written in the trainee agreement with evidence.

In terms of personal safety, the trainee unit purchases a one-time personal accident insurance of no less than 100 yuan for the trainees. The insurance period completely covers the entire trainee period. They will be arranged to work after the insurance takes effect. No day should be missed or interrupted.

In terms of follow-up services, if the trainee is retained after the internship period, he or she will sign a labor contract and apply for social security. If the trainee is not retained, the district and county employment public service agencies will provide follow-up services such as employment recommendation, employment guidance, and employment training free of charge to ensure that employment services remain online.

The Chongqing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau specifically reminds that no fees are charged for the entire process from job search, registration to subsidy declaration. If any organization or individual charges fees in the name of "place fee", "service fee", "agency fee", etc., be careful to screen and beware of being deceived.
