The first job fair under the spring wind campaign kicked off on Feb 19 in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ).

More than 60 local enterprises, including GREE, Coca Cola, Dongfeng, VOYAH, and Midea, promoted over 4,500 jobs positions at the fair, with 80 percent of them offering salaries that range from 5,000 yuan ($696.5) to 7,000 yuan.

The participating companies are from fields such as automobiles and auto spare parts, food and beverages, electronics and electric appliances, and hotel services. The open positions that were advertised at the event included designers, project managers, workshop supervisors, clerks, quality inspectors, logistic workers, and production operators.

"Compared to the previous year, we are offering higher salaries," said Li Chongyuan, recruitment manager of GREE Electric Appliances (Wuhan) Co. The company's workshop employees are paid between 5,500 yuan and 7,000 yuan, and are entitled to social insurance, housing funds and independent apartments. "Our company's employees all have the potential to become group leaders or workshop directors," Li added.

According to WEDZ's bureau of human resources and social insurance, the zone currently faces talent shortage of about 20,000 workers. This year, professional training sessions tailored for workers and job seekers will be arranged by the relevant government departments to address the talent demand.

The 2024 spring wind campaign will reportedly hold another 16 such job fairs in the zone, with more than 100 firms to promote nearly 10,000 open job positions.
