Hongchun Zhang introduced the current employment status of college graduates nationwide in 2020, which is affected by multiple factors such as increasing number of graduates, national economic transformation and upgrading, global epidemic outbreak and strategic game between China and the United States, and the employment situation is exceptionally severe. The Central Party Committee and the State Council have paid much attention to the employment of graduates from universities under the situation of coronavirus epidemic, and several meetings have been held to comprehensively deploy this work. Based on the actual employment situation of our college, Hongchun Zhang gave two suggestions: first, we should keep awareness, realize the impact of the epidemic on the employment work in 2020, make a good study and judgment, and take precautions against possible difficulties; second, we should actively respond to possibility, and take multiple actions to effectively help the employment of students.

Xiang Li reported in detail the unemployed status of the graduates of the college in 2020 and the next work plan. The college promotes students' employment by setting up a leading group for employment, actively providing employment resources, vigorously expanding employment possibilities and strengthening communication with students' parents, etc. Meanwhile, the college focuses on the needs of graduates from Hubei province, part-time postgraduates, graduates from poor families and graduates from ethnic minorities, etc., and actively provides employment assistance.

The Electron Microscopy Center has gradually become symbolic significance of the university. Next, the college should continue to strengthen discipline construction, strengthen talent training, further improve the employment rate, adjust the employment structure, improve the quality of employment, and promote outstanding talents to key positions to contribute to the national development strategy.

Xu Wang stressed that the college must pay great attention to those who have employment difficulties.
