Robots are entering production lines at an accelerated pace, AI models have penetrated thousands of industries, and domestically produced innovative drugs have been intensively approved overseas. The “three new and new” are on the rise, and a large number of new employment opportunities are emerging. In the 2026 spring recruitment, the gap rate for complex talents who understand both AI and medicine reached 38%, and the gap is expected to reach 2.5 million people. The salary level of these “twin talents” is 30% higher than that of traditional jobs. Grasp the general trend and understand the new signals in the job market: The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Education Development” directly linked employment conditions to enrollment plans and talent training for the first time, and implemented a red and yellow card reminder system. This means that the job market — particularly the demand in the “new and new” field — will directly determine the “life and death” of college majors: majors that are not needed in the market will be warned or even suspended. New colleges with new majors have been launched intensively, and these new tracks are being opened: for new occupations such as robotics engineers and technicians, undergraduate majors in humanoid robot engineering technology, digital twin engineering technology, and vehicle networking communication technology will be added. In 2026, new majors will be added to vocational education, focusing on fields such as digital economy, low-altitude economy, artificial intelligence, and high-end equipment. For fields such as biomedicine and artificial intelligence, the plan proposes to explore the construction of a “science and technology business school”.
