ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, it gradually becomes a new approach in the field of
international economics to study trade activities from the perspective of human
resources. Many scholars believe that the gap of income inequality between two
countries increasing or decreasing depends on the trade pattern between the two
countries, but in the final analysis, it depends on the state of human capital
allocation in both countries. Therefore, human resources are of great
significance to the international trade. With China’s opening-up policy to the outside
world becoming deeper and deeper, there is an increasing demand for
international trade talents, and the skilled talents in international economic and trade fields have
become scarce talents. However, at present, many universities’ international
trade graduates find it difficult to get employed, and companies just lack
talents in that fields. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the
international trade talents trained in colleges and universities are out of
touch with the social needs, which caused the phenomenon that graduates majored
in international trade can’t be used by companies and companies lack talents in
the field of international trade but dare not employ the graduates. To study this
phenomenon, this paper finds that the teaching objective is not clear in
colleges and universities; most
colleges and universities pay much attention to theoretical teaching instead of
practical teaching and lack teacher allocation. What’s more, the curriculum is not reasonable enough. So the colleges and universities
should take some measures; they
should cultivate talents to be familiar with international business processes
and specific operations, international trade negotiation and communication
skills, and to be familiar with international trade laws and practices. They also should
guide students to get some professional certificates.
