Veterans preferencial in civil servant employment in Ningbo

Veterans will take priority for civil servant employment in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, according to the city government's official website.

The government of Ningbo said in a notice that, starting from this year, veterans with bachelor's degrees will be given preference for civil servant positions when they have the same qualifications as other candidates.

This is considered a measure to encourage more college students to join the army. College students who volunteer to join the army in Ningbo will also receive an annual subsidy of 10,000 yuan ($1,600).
