A program launched two years ago by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to offer young people internship opportunities has roped in 1,694 institutions and enterprises across the region so far, and it hopes to bring in as many as 10,000 participants by 2022.
The program, initiated at the beginning of 2019, is open to graduates and young people－especially those from impoverished families－who registered as unemployed or who lack work experience. The internships last from three months to a year.
