There is a written test.

In traditional vocational education, students can get a diploma, and schools encourage but do not force them to obtain other certificates and qualifications related to their majors. In practice, many students fall into "ability panic" after graduation. There is a gap between the school's training and the company's employment standards, and the phenomenon of "unemployment after graduation" occurs.

The new "1+X" exam refers to "academic certificate + several professional skill level certificates". This new vocational education model not only guarantees students' basic cultural knowledge, but also brings students more choices.

The assessment based on actual operation allows students to meet the professional standards of their majors while completing their studies, achieve smooth docking with enterprises, and solve the dilemma of students "not being able to do anything and not being able to move their hands" after graduation.

The pilot policy of 1+X certificates was officially launched last year. This year is a key year for full implementation.

Nowadays, with the help of social enterprises, vocational education will get a pass to the digital age - high-value big data and cloud computing skills certification certificates.

Recently, Alibaba's 1+X vocational skill level certificate pilot work briefing held online revealed a good news: As a backbone enterprise in society, Alibaba Cloud will work with colleges and universities across the country to jointly promote the 1+X certificate certification pilot work, and by the end of 2020, it will jointly organize special online recruitment for graduates of the certificate pilot colleges and universities, and 300 Alibaba-affiliated companies. Alibaba Cloud ecosystem companies alone can provide more than 20,000 employment opportunities.

In order to facilitate the systematic learning of college students, Alibaba Cloud's 1+X pilot certification learning content has launched two certificates, "Big Data Analysis and Application" and "Cloud Computing Development and Operation and Maintenance", and has made specific and clear plans for learning content and future careers. The skill details involved in the current big data and cloud computing fields are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced for certification. This step-by-step learning system is easy for students to accept and find the right direction for future career development.

The deployment has launched the pilot work of the "academic degree certificate + several vocational skill level certificates" (referred to as 1+X certificate) system.
