上海市人力资源和社会保障局出台新一轮高校毕业生等青年促就业政策措施，包括向企业和学生提供补贴。记者张泓带来详细报道。

Companies, social welfare organizations, and individual business owners can get a one-time subsidy of 2,000 yuan for each graduate they hire, provided the new employee is graduated from college between 2021 and 2023, or an unemployed person aged between 16 and 24, or a person who has been registered as unemployed for at least three months in Shanghai. Companies don't need to apply for the subsidy.

各类企业、社会组织和个体工商户每聘用一名毕业生，可按2000元/人享受一次性吸纳就业补贴。该新员工必须是2021年至2023年期间的高校毕业生，或在本市登记失业3个月及以上人员或登记失业的16到24岁青年。企业无需自行申请补贴。

The bureau will also waive 50% of social insurance contributions for a maximum of 12 months if a social organization, or small or micro-sized company hires someone who graduated from university between 2021 and 2023 and doesn't have a job.

如果社会机构或小微型企业雇用2021年至2023年期间毕业且未就业的高校毕业生，还将减免50%的社会保险费，补贴不超过12个月。

College graduates from a low-income family, those who are handicapped【残疾的】or have a handicapped family member, or graduates from a secondary vocational school are eligible to apply for a 1,000 yuan subsidy to help them get a job or start their own business. This is the first time applicants from vocational schools are eligible for such a subsidy.

低保家庭高校毕业生、残疾人或有残疾家庭成员、中等职业学校毕业生可请1000元的就业创业补贴。这是职业学校的学生首次有资格申请此类补贴。

The bureau will ensure that young people looking for a job will have access to at least one career tutoring session, one introductory meeting on employment policies, three job recommendations, and either vocational skills training or an internship position. Authorities alsoset a target of hiring 90% of jobless graduates.        

有关部门需确保到年底本市2023届离校未就业毕业生帮扶就业率不低于90%，并对有就业意愿的青年至少提供1次政策宣介、1次职业指导、3次岗位推介、1次技能培训或就业见习机会。
