On March 31, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Didi Chuxing, JD.com, SF Group, and Alibaba Group signed an employment cooperation agreement for retired military personnel in the form of "cloud signing". Fang Yongxiang, Assistant Director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission and Deputy Minister of the Veterans Affairs Department, attended the signing ceremony with the heads of the four companies that signed the contract.

At the symposium before the signing ceremony, Fang Yongxiang pointed out that the Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the employment of key groups including veterans, put stable employment at the top of the "six stability", and vigorously implement the employment priority policy. The Department of Veterans Affairs has conscientiously implemented the important expositions and important instructions of General Secretary Jin Ping on the work of veterans, resolutely unified the employment and entrepreneurship of veterans to the relevant decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and issued the "About Promoting the Employment and Entrepreneurship of Veterans in the New Era" Work Opinions and other series of policy documents are deployed to promote the employment of veterans. The four newly signed companies actively responded to the call of the party and the state, fulfilled their mission of supporting the army, and shouldered their social responsibilities. Together with the two companies that signed in the early stage, Poly and Vanke, they set an example for the majority of enterprises. Fang Yongxiang hopes that more companies will care about veterans, increase recruitment and training of veterans, and continuously improve their sense of gain and happiness.

It is reported that Didi Chuxing, JD.com, SF Group, and Alibaba Group have recruited 55,000 veterans in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), covering e-commerce, online platforms, financial management, sales representatives, Job categories such as machinery maintenance, warehousing logistics, and traffic driving. The four companies will also make special plans and give priority assistance to the education, training, and promotion of recruiting veterans.

The signing of the cooperation agreement this time is based on the early signing of employment cooperation agreements for retired military personnel with some large enterprises, and explores a beneficial attempt to combine the employment promotion model with the characteristics of retired military personnel "authoritative recommendation + independent employment". It is also a response to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The powerful measures of stabilizing employment are of great significance for promoting the resolution of the employment "block" of veterans and opening up the "last mile" of employment services.
