It is a written agreement reached by graduates of ordinary colleges and universities and employers to establish employment relations within the prescribed time limit through two-way selection before formally establishing labor and personnel relations, and to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. It is an important evidence for employers to confirm the authenticity and reliability of graduates' information and accept graduates, and it is also an important basis for colleges and universities to manage graduates' employment, prepare employment plans and handle employment and settlement procedures for graduates. The agreement will be automatically terminated after the graduates report to the unit and the employer formally accepts it.
Employment agreements are generally prepared by the Ministry of Education or the competent employment departments of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. After signing, when the school enrolls students next year, it can tell the outside world what the employment rate of the school is. A formal contract is invalid.
