News from Labor Newspaper (Reporter Guo Na) The 2025 Third Urban Intelligent Operations Innovation and Development Forum, themed "Digital Intelligence Driven Integration and Symbiosis," was recently held in Shanghai. At the forum, Shanghai Urban Construction Vocational College (SUCC) released the China Property Management Talent Training Survey Report (2025) and the 2025 Yangtze River Delta Urban Intelligent Operations Talent Development Report, offering a comprehensive analysis of the current landscape of property management talent cultivation in China.

    The employment rate for property management graduates has remained consistently above 95%.

    According to the China Property Management Talent Training Survey Report (2025), China has established a multi-level and diversified property management talent training system that seamlessly links secondary and higher vocational education and undergraduate education, and integrates school-enterprise training. Higher vocational colleges serve as the main pillar for talent cultivation, accounting for as much as 66.7%. School-enterprise collaboration has become the new normal. When developing talent cultivation programs, 94.7% of colleges and universities invited representatives from industry and enterprises, and 91.2% partnered with enterprises to establish internship and practical training bases.

    With regard to student development, the curriculum is closely aligned with industry requirements. The coverage of core courses such as property management regulations and compliance risk control, as well as customer service and complaint resolution, has reached 86% and 98.2%, respectively. To support the industry's transition toward intelligent operations, 68.4% of institutions offer training in areas such as smart property management and building facilities operation and maintenance. The training process places a strong emphasis on practical experience, with 91.2% of students participating in corporate internships, allowing them to develop their skills in real-world professional settings.

    What are the employment prospects for property management graduates? According to the report, the first employment rate for graduates has remained above 95% for consecutive years, reflecting the robust market demand for skilled professionals in this field. Notably, employer satisfaction with graduates’ overall competence is exceptionally high, with a combined 84.2% rating them as either "satisfied" or "very satisfied." Additionally, over 90% recognized graduates' strong communication skills and teamwork. Regarding career advancement, 71.9% of institutions reported that the majority of their graduates achieve promotion within three years, while 43.9% indicated that their graduates’ starting salaries exceed the industry average.

    Graduates with interdisciplinary skills enjoy distinct advantages, with a median monthly salary of approximately RMB 10,000.

    The "2025 Yangtze River Delta Urban Intelligent Operations Talent Development Report" was also released at the conference. The market size of the urban intelligent operations and management industry in the Yangtze River Delta is projected to surge from RMB 600 billion in 2023 to RMB 2 trillion in 2025. This remarkable growth has created extensive employment opportunities for talent. The employment landscape for graduates has also swiftly expanded beyond traditional residential services into emerging areas such as smart communities, smart parks, and urban public facilities. The starting salaries of graduates have maintained a robust average annual growth rate of 8.5%, fully reflecting the market's strong recognition of, and urgent demand for, professional talent.

    With the increasing penetration of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, BIM, and artificial intelligence across the industry, sample data from the report indicates that the median monthly salary for urban intelligent operations and management positions is approximately RMB 10,000. However, significant salary differentials are observed among talent with varying competencies. Among these roles, market/business positions, which demand the highest levels of technical integration and business insight, offer a median monthly salary of RMB 13,500. Management/project positions offer RMB 11,500 per month, while technology/engineering positions provide RMB 10,500 per month. In contrast, positions in operations/services, which tend to be more traditional, offer a median salary of RMB 5,500 per month.

    The report highlights that, in terms of vertical career advancement, talent typically begins in grassroots technical positions. After accumulating three to five years of experience, they may be promoted to mid-level management roles such as project manager, with potential salary increases ranging from 30% to 50%. Senior professionals with 5 to 10 years of experience can further advance to executive positions such as Operations Director and Solution Architect.

    The talent supply-demand and generic technology platform has been established.

    It is reported that, as a key carrier supporting both the industry-education consortium of the Shanghai Caohejing Hi-Tech Park and the Future City and Smart Operations Industry-Education Integration Community, the talent supply-demand and generic technology platform has now been in official operation for one year. Currently, the platform has progressed from its initial construction phase to a fully-developed 2.0 stage, integrating a wealth of features including talent supply-demand facilitation, precise matching, and vocational/general education integration. The platform now offers functions such as regional resource pooling, industry talent profiling, online resource sharing, and one-stop collaboration for school-enterprise cooperation projects.

    During the forum, experts from industry and academia engaged in discussions and shared insights from diverse perspectives, including vocational education industry integration, academic research, industry observation, technology development, and corporate practice.
