Talent Gap in the Industry

In today’s globalized trade, relying on the rapid development of the Internet, the related supporting industry services of cross-border e-commerce have gradually flourished. Not only Amazon’s business, for many cross-border e-commerce companies, the problem that restricts the company’s development finally falls on talent, and everyone has gradually realized that talent is the foundation.

On the one hand, the cross-border e-commerce industry is booming, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of professional talent reserves. With the gradual completion of the new infrastructure construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, the launch of new customs clearance policies such as 9710 and 9810, the convenience of cross-border exports has once again boosted the explosive growth of the cross-border e-commerce industry, and the problem of talent gap has become more prominent. In recent years, the number of college graduates has set new records, and it has become a normal year for tens of millions of graduates to enter the society, including the transformation needs of traditional industry employees, which has brought considerable pressure on employment in the whole society. In response to the growing talent gap in the industry, our team actively responded to the call of the country and carried out talent training cooperation with the government, enterprises, and schools through its own business capabilities. The specific cooperation model is as follows.

Government-Enterprise Cooperation Model

The Internet is an inevitable trend, and the changes in various industries are unpredictable. Previously popular jobs have now disappeared and are slowly being replaced by AI and robots. Even civil servants, who are favored by college students, have begun to optimize their salary systems. The sense of crisis is everywhere. For industry transformation, whether from a macro or micro economic perspective, the cross-border e-commerce industry within the scope of global trade is a relatively suitable field for transformation, but it is not so easy for industry novices to get started. Therefore, local governments have also introduced many welfare policies for the saturation of employment in traditional industries and the shortage of employment in emerging industries.

The “Dream Plan” of the Shenzhen Federation of Trade Unions aims to give employees of Shenzhen companies the opportunity to improve their skills. It is a social training of a public welfare nature. This kind of training has played a good role in assisting the transformation of employees in various industries. Through their own workplace experience and our professional training, they have more confidence and choices in facing industry changes or future careers, and indirectly cultivated excellent basic talents in the field of cross-border e-commerce.
