Jobs are accurately matched and services are provided nearby. Grassroots employment services are extending to communities to help young people with ideas get started at a low cost. In Shanghai's Caojiadu Street, a small "Chuangyi Shop" has become the first stop for young people to start their own businesses.
At the employment service station in Caojiadu Street, Shanghai, a 14.9-square-meter community shop has been built into a community entrepreneurship practice space, open to young entrepreneurial groups. Cai Huiyun, who graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy, is the first resident here.
Cai Huiyun, founder of the beauty studio: I studied stage character design and wanted to combine the makeup of our drama industry with the public, so I wanted to build a store and then slowly expand it.
Cai Huiyun, who graduated from graduate school this year, planned to start a beauty service business, but it was difficult to find a suitable location and the rent pressure was high, so the business plan has not been launched. On the recommendation of the school, Cai Huiyun came to the Caojiadu Street Employment Service Station near the school. It coincided with the official opening of the newly built community micro-entrepreneurship carrier "Chuangyi Shop" in the street. Not only did it provide free space, Cai Huiyun also registered her own company here.
Cai Huiyun: I have a dedicated employment service teacher who helps me one-on-one step by step. The most important thing is that the store of "Chongyi Shop" can save me from the pressure of high rent in the early stage.
In addition to venue support, the service station also regularly offers public welfare training courses on entrepreneurship, covering entrepreneurial planning, risk prevention and control, resource docking, etc., to help young people who are willing to start a business understand relevant knowledge.
At present, free workstations such as the "Chuangyi Shop" and Maker Space in Caojiadu Street are continuing to attract more and more young entrepreneurs, becoming their first stop for starting with "zero threshold, low cost, and low risk".
Guo Chunquan, deputy director of the Shanghai Caojiadu Street Community Service Office: The Caojiadu Street Maker Space has a total of eight shared workstations, three independent offices and a "profit shop" that are open to the public free of charge. At the same time, we are also linked to the entrepreneurship support policies of the Jing'an District Employment Promotion Center, as well as some entrepreneurial loans from banks in our jurisdiction, and other full-chain accompanying assistance services.
“Community micro-business” paves the way to increase income at home
"Door door" employment is supporting more disadvantaged groups. Shandong has innovatively launched "community micro-business" to help older workers, disabled people and other key community groups learn skills and find jobs at home.
In Jinan, Qingji Ideal Community relied on the crochet club in the community to register a cultural and creative product company to bring residents' handicrafts to the market and increase income.
Wei Ruichen, Secretary of Qingji District, Cuizhai Street, Qingdao District, Jinan City, Shandong Province: We recruit OEM workers from residents. They can come to us to learn from scratch, or they can crochet at home and send us finished products for recycling. Now we can knit nearly a hundred types of products, with prices ranging from 5.99 yuan to 299 yuan.
At present, the crochet club has attracted nearly 200 residents. Focusing on new consumption and new scenarios, the community is constantly exploring and launching more entrepreneurial income-increasing projects.
Wei Ruichen: In addition to the crochet workshop, we have also implemented new projects such as shopping for supermarkets and handmade bean products, combining convenient services with increasing residents' income.
Since the beginning of this year, Jinan has accelerated the development of "community micro-industry" services. Each community has revitalized idle resources, created skills workshops to increase employment and income, and launched community entrepreneurial spaces. It has provided rental-free space for small and micro entrepreneurs such as community e-commerce and domestic services to drive employment through entrepreneurship and promote employment close to home and full employment.
Ning Yanxue, Party Secretary and Director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Jinan City, Shandong Province: We will continue to deepen the "community micro-industry" work with the theme of "double-circle development and micro-industry to enrich the people", strengthen the supply of services such as job introduction and skills training, and provide citizens with more and better employment opportunities and income-increasing channels.
