Wuxi Youth League Organization explores a long-term mechanism for youth entrepreneurship

Nanjing Audit Chen Minna, a 2009 undergraduate majoring in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language at the college, has just graduated and is not yet employed. But compared with other classmates who have not found a job, Chen Minna is not anxious at all. ?I want to start my own business. Chen Minna said, "I once sold small flags with my classmates and earned several hundred yuan. In the end, we donated half of our earnings to the earthquake-stricken areas." ?

Chen Minna, who has had a small business experience, is very confident, but at the same time she also has many concerns: Starting a business is easier said than done. For college students who have just stepped out of school, it is impossible to start a business without the help and guidance of social organizations and others. Unlike some entrepreneurs who work alone, I was lucky enough to get help and hit the ground running. ?

Providing help to Chen Minna was the Wuxi Municipal Youth League Committee and the Youth League organizations at all levels. Chen Minna said that at the beginning of this year, she was searching for entrepreneurial information on the Internet, and the first phase of the "10100 Youth Entrepreneurship Project" project being carried out by the Wuxi Municipal Committee caught her attention. ?The first phase is to cooperate with a company engaged in bread baking and pastry making in Wuxi. The company will open 10 new stores in Wuxi. If I sign up for the selection, I may become the person in charge of one of the stores. This provides me with an opportunity, which is much better than looking for projects everywhere. ?Chen Minna signed up immediately.

The ?10100 Youth Entrepreneurship Project? is an exploration of the Wuxi Municipal Party Committee, trying to create a long-term mechanism for youth entrepreneurship. ?We support 10 college students in each phase to start their own businesses through professional training and selection, and then these 10 college students will drive 100 college students to find jobs, so it is called the ?10100 Youth Entrepreneurship Project? Ma Jian, deputy secretary of the Wuxi Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, said, "We need to build a bridge between students and enterprises, act as informants, and allow young people with entrepreneurial aspirations to effectively connect with relatively mature projects." ?

Gu Hongjun, the partner of this event and general manager of a food company in Wuxi, is very optimistic about the cooperation with the *** Youth League: "It is difficult for college students to find jobs and start businesses. Our company needs to expand its scale and tap talents. Not easy. Through the bridging of the Youth League organization, we no longer need to go to the talent market to blindly select talents as before. We are very willing to cooperate with the Youth League Committee. ?

?As of now, ***125 young people have signed up. After comprehensive interviews and other selection procedures, 35 young people were identified as key support targets. The Youth League Municipal Committee will provide them with relevant training and select 10 people as owners of 10 stores through the "Youth Entrepreneurship TV Competition" and let them start their own businesses. The Youth League Municipal Committee will provide follow-up services and send expert guidance at any time. ?Liu Yao, director of the Grassroots Work Department of the Wuxi Municipal Committee of the Youth League, said.

Among the 35 people selected, Wang Xiaoyu, a sophomore majoring in tourism management at Jiangnan University Business School, is one of them. At a young age, he was full of desire to start a business: Starting a business is a big problem. We had no funds, so the Youth League Committee and the enterprise provided a subsidy of 50,000 yuan per person, and also helped us with small loans through banks, which solved the capital problem in the early stage of starting our business. ?

The small loans Wang Xiaoyu mentioned were specially raised by the Youth League Committee in order to effectively provide youth entrepreneurship services and expand the channels for youth entrepreneurship funds. Ma Jian, deputy secretary of the Communist Youth League Wuxi Municipal Committee, said: The Communist Youth League Municipal Committee, together with Xizhou Rural Commercial Bank, Municipal Venture Capital Company, Afu Rural Small Loan Company and other institutions, launched loan projects and financial products suitable for the characteristics of youth entrepreneurship, and established a 10 million Yuan's Youth Entrepreneurship Fund. In addition to this phase of the project, the government supported 34 youth entrepreneurial projects and issued loans of 32.6 million yuan. ?

What makes Wang Xiaoyu even more happy is that in the process of participating in the "10100 Youth Entrepreneurship Project", he was able to come into contact with many experienced entrepreneurs: "This was something that I never dared to think about before." The Youth League Committee provides us with many opportunities for face-to-face communication with successful entrepreneurs, which is of great help to young people. ?

Ma Teng, who has successfully started his own business, is what Wang Xiaoyu calls a "senior" who can gain experience. Although he is a "senior", he is not very old and has just graduated a year ago. He said: The entrepreneurial experience that I am now introducing to my juniors was actually taught to me by the teachers from the Youth League Committee. ?Ma Teng is now engaged in the garment processing industry. He admitted that in the process of starting a business, the choice of project is very important. Regarding the ongoing 10100 Youth Entrepreneurship Project, he suggested that in the next few phases of the project, we should cooperate more with different companies. In this way, the project will be broadened and young people will have more choices. People with different specialties can choose their own. The better, the chance of success will be much greater?
