Aba Prefecture is offering substantial financial incentives to attract talent, with the goal of attracting and nurturing 10,000 talents of various types within three years. At a recent talent development conference, a relevant official from Aba Prefecture stated that regardless of educational background, experience, age, or place of origin, anyone who loves Aba and can contribute to its development is considered a needed talent.
Located in a high-altitude region, Aba Prefecture boasts rich ecological, cultural tourism, and agricultural resources. However, it has long faced a shortage of talent, which has hindered industrial upgrading, project implementation, improvement of people's livelihoods, and grassroots governance. To address this, Aba Prefecture has introduced a series of measures: providing top-tier talents with subsidies ranging from 2 million to 5 million yuan; offering up to 1 million yuan in support for flexible talent introduction projects; and providing relocation allowances of 100,000 to 400,000 yuan for mid-level and above professionals and urgently needed master's and doctoral talents in specific fields.
At the beginning of the conference, Aba Prefecture distributed a 200,000 yuan relocation allowance to each representative of high-level talents and honored advanced groups and representatives of elite, backbone, and young talents. Luo Yihong, Vice Principal of Maoxian Middle School, as a representative of elite talents, received a 20,000 yuan incentive. He moved from Chengdu Jiaxiang Jinjiang Foreign Language School to Maoxian Middle School, where he initiated the 'Jiaxiang Guanghua Class', successfully increasing the retention rate of high-quality students.
Education, healthcare, and cultural tourism are key areas for talent attraction and development in Aba Prefecture. The prefecture will focus on the 'Elite, Backbone, and Young Talent' programs and the 'Pomegranate Unity · Wisdom Aggregation in Aba' three-year action plan to vigorously cultivate local and high-end talents. Additionally, age restrictions for senior professional titles will be relaxed, and a special talent pool of 300 positions will be established.
To effectively utilize these talents, Aba Prefecture proposes building a broad platform. Barkam City has invested 250 million yuan in constructing the Tianfu Summer Breeding Base, attracting 60 experts. Aba Prefecture also promotes the practical work of over 1,000 master's and doctoral talents in rural areas. For example, Wu Jinbo's team set up a science and technology demonstration site next to a pasture, significantly improving the survival rate of young yaks.
Aba Prefecture plans to send outstanding local talents for external training and exchange annually, investing 10 million yuan to organize elite teachers and doctors to study at key universities. Furthermore, the prefecture continues to improve talent services, planning to build 1,500 new talent apartments within three years and provide housing subsidies for newly introduced talents. The limit for housing provident fund loans will also be increased by 20% to 60%.
