"Salary is only 2000 yuan, too little!" "IT companies of such small scale are not conducive to my development!" Perhaps you would be astonished if these were said by high school students? When some college students encounter repeated setbacks in job hunting, some high school students, however, are picky about jobs with an arrogant attitude, refusing to go to any company other than those offering high salaries. The fact is that graduates from Beida Qingniao have become sought-after talents by IT enterprises across the country. Their minimum monthly salary is more than 3000 yuan, and some even reach 5000-8000 yuan! More than one-third of them are high school graduates who had no computer foundation and seemed to have a bleak future in people's eyes.
What made crows jump onto branches and surpass phoenixes? What made these abandoned ones in the college entrance examination also stand tall, proudly dominating the workplace?
Failed examinees are also talents
Twenty-year-old Sun Wei failed the college entrance exam two years ago. Unlike other classmates who chose to retake the exam or attend a third-rate university, he entered the Guangzhou Beida Qingniao Xiangji Lide APTECH Training Center for study. In October last year, after graduation, Sun Wei founded a corporate website construction company, which has been thriving. The websites he designed were introduced as project cases to subsequent learners by the Beida Qingniao APTECH Training Center. Former excellent students who topped the college entrance exam came to consult him on computer issues. Sun Wei said: "Without attending university, I have achieved success."
Renowned computer education expert and Tsinghua University professor Tan Haoqiang said: "The model of talent is diversified, and the path to talent growth should also be diversified. Some people are suitable for theory, others for application. Both can be considered talents and are needed by the country."
High school graduates who fail the college entrance exam are not all poor students. Many students are not interested in examination-oriented education courses but like practical skills such as computers, with strong hands-on abilities, willingness to delve deeply, and great creativity. If judged by the traditional concept of "one exam determines a lifetime," they may not be good students. However, according to the standard of applied talents, they are undoubtedly good students. Forcing these students to pursue a university path might drown their potential under examination-oriented education.
High school students master the IT industry
As April enters, June is approaching again. With the college entrance exam just around the corner, parents start worrying about their children's future. Education experts point out that with China's large population base, it's impossible for everyone to attend university and engage in management, research, and technical work. Most people should learn vocational and technical education, providing an important path to success for high school students outside of academic education. But some people question whether IT, a high-tech industry, is something high school graduates can "handle"?
The person in charge of Beida Qingniao APTECH Company said that computer skills have no absolute relation to academic qualifications. Bill Gates was not a university graduate. Currently, IT technology has rapidly developed into a huge industry, and its development requires a large number of industrialized technical talents, not the so-called "high consumption" of master's and doctoral students. Facts show that well-known IT enterprises such as Huaye, ZTE, and Datang Telecom hire a large number of talents every year without considering diplomas but focusing on practical operational skills. The vigorous development of Beida Qingniao APTECH computer vocational education provides new career opportunities for many high school or related academic degree holders. Experts believe that traditional academic education graduates, due to skill shortages, cannot become "gray-collar workers" in a certain period. However, high school students who undergo IT training have both systematic theoretical knowledge and stronger project practice capabilities, making them truly needed skilled talents by enterprises. Therefore, it is understandable for them to be "picky" about jobs.
Systematic training ensures employment
For high school students, many start learning computers from scratch. How to achieve a qualitative leap? How to realize eventual employment?
As a nationwide chain IT training school, Beida Qingniao uniformly introduces courses and textbooks from India, processed by renowned IT experts combined with China's national conditions.
IT training is at the forefront and highly time-sensitive, with trends changing every one or two years. Beida Qingniao's training courses are developed after researching nearly a thousand IT companies and are updated every 18 months, maintaining strong course relevance.
Beida Qingniao emphasizes cultivating hands-on abilities. It has been calculated that in a well-known Wuhan university’s computer science department, four years of practical machine operation do not exceed 52 class hours. However, in the Beida Qingniao APTECH Training Center, there are 100 class hours of practical machine operation in just one semester. After one year and three months, students accumulate at least 400 class hours of practical machine operation, participate in multiple project designs, internships, and finally reach the ability to handle projects practically.
Beida Qingniao has strict requirements for its teaching staff. Each teacher must have at least three years of project development experience and pass training to obtain teaching qualifications and teaching method certificates before being allowed to teach. Beida Qingniao implements separation between teaching and exams, with questions uniformly set by the Beijing headquarters, and the exam questions are unrelated to the teaching teachers. Thus, the teaching must be comprehensive and detailed. Meanwhile, this approach also ensures the value of the certificate.
Beida Qingniao has a unified national employment guidance center that recommends employment services based on market needs. Currently, Beida Qingniao APTECH Training Centers across the country have more than 3000 employment partners, successfully helping 300,000 students find jobs. Many students work for famous companies like Motorola, Nike, and Huawei, with average trial salaries exceeding 3000 yuan. With systematic training and the help of the employment guidance center, the employment rate of Beida Qingniao APTECH students reaches 90%, truly becoming the "safety box" for high school student employment.
