Why most of the railway departments recruit college students, but few undergraduates?

Netizen one:

This is because the railway system recruits talents with special skills, and college students are specialized technical workers tailored for railways by various colleges and universities. These college students are engaged in the corresponding front-line technical jobs after graduation. , For example, railway signaling, railway electrification engineering, railway mechanical engineering... These professional courses have trained a group of skilled workers in electrical, public, mechanical, train, and passenger transportation systems, which are all necessary for the rapid development of railways. The talents needed are necessary for the development of the railway, the main force, and the new railway reserve talents. The undergraduate schools train all department personnel, and these personnel are relatively surplus in the railway! The supply exceeds the demand. In layman's terms, there is no need for managers but skilled workers. This is steel demand, and it is a devotee of the railway, that is, an unknown worker! This is the main reason for recruiting college students!

In fact, sometimes, some college students are better than undergraduates, really, but they just can't get promoted. After all, their education is there. I know one person. From the beginning of entry to the present, all the activities and awards he participated in are now piled up, but compared with his undergraduates in the same batch, the position is still very different.

I think education is only a part, the key depends on hard work and strength, and I hope that in this aspect, the railway will gradually change, and so many people are recruited every year, but basically few people can stand at the top, I hope that reform will follow system, so that more junior colleges have the ability to shine in suitable positions.

We can see from these types of jobs that the positions are either very unskilled or very technical and require very professional skills to be competent. The four-year study of undergraduates is mainly about theoretical management, and they are inclined to future management positions, while the three-year study of college students is mainly about skills, with strong practical operations. Their advantages are obvious for undergraduates, they can be employed as soon as they graduate, and various professional skills make them feel like a duck to water. Undergraduates, because they have less professional skills in the fourth year of the university, need a long period of training to be competent when they are employed. If you were the boss, would you rather have college students who are skilled in technology or undergraduates who need training to get on the job?

As far as the working environment is concerned, undergraduates are also disdainful. Railway work is very hard, and I stay away from home for a long time, and even go to work during Chinese New Year. Some jobs are covered in oil, such as maintenance workers, and some jobs need to endure loneliness, such as patrolling in the mountains. These jobs are unattractive for undergraduates, they want management positions, but the most important thing in the railway system is management personnel. The working environment is not suitable and the position is wrong, resulting in the unwillingness of undergraduates to go, and the unwillingness to recruit the railway section.

Netizen four:

As a production unit, the Railway Bureau has few opportunities for research and development. Since it is mostly simple repetitive work, and high school students can be competent after training, it is not cost-effective to recruit undergraduates at this time. Undergraduates have their own aura of cadres, and most of them can’t settle down and work on the front line. How can there be so many management positions? College students are more aware of the situation and are willing to let go. Therefore, after recruiting a large number of undergraduates for more than ten years, the railway leaders woke up.

In fact, the current undergraduate education problem is very big. In terms of hands-on ability, it is not as good as that of higher vocational technical school students. It is hoped that they will do research, but they are lacking and unable to do what they want. Employers are getting more and more old-fashioned, and they know what to look for. Only when the supply of jobs is in short supply will the tide rise and the threshold of education will continue to rise.
