Job fair promotes low-carbon firms

Several hundred graduates rushed to the first job fair for low-carbon professionals on Sunday in Beijing, but despite "low carbon" being a popular industry catchphrase, that was not the event's main attraction.

The job fair was instigated by the Beijing Instrument Industry Group Co Ltd with companies from the automotive and mechatronics industries attending. A total of 383 job opportunities were offered at the fair.

"We make many instruments to detect carbon emissions and our business is very much involved with low carbon," said Jia Shaowei, assistant general manager with Beijing Beifen-Ruili Analytical Instrument Company, which is affiliated with the Beijing Instrument Industry Group Co Ltd.
