今年暑期工市场出现显著变化，越来越多大学生不再选择传统基础劳务岗位，而是转向景区NPC、动物园管理员、农场生产专员、AI数据采集等新兴职位[1]。这类岗位吸引学生的原因在于既能满足个人兴趣，又能在低成本试错的过程中积累实际工作经验[1]。
浙江、江苏等地多所高校学生已积极参与此类暑期工作[1]。南昌理工学院影视表演专业毕业生高润泽于6月在南京海底世界担任"鲛人王子"NPC[1]，而南昌大学计算机科学与技术专业学生钟睿麒则参与具身智能机器人的数据采集工作[1]。苏州一家具身智能机器人公司今年暑期共招聘100多个岗位[1]。
苏州市劳动人事争议仲裁院工作人员王飞提醒学生，在选择暑期工时应通过正规招聘渠道，并务必订立书面协议以保障自身权益[1]。
This summer's job market is witnessing a notable transformation, with university students increasingly gravitating toward emerging positions that blend personal interests with hands-on experience [1]. Positions such as scenic area NPCs, zoo staff, farm production specialists, and AI data annotation have displaced traditional entry-level labor roles [1]. These opportunities enable students to experiment with new fields at minimal cost while accumulating practical experience, and simultaneously inject fresh creative perspectives into employers' operations [1].
Several universities across Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces have seen their students participate in these novel summer roles [1]. Gao Runze, who graduated in June from Nanchang Institute of Technology with a degree in film and television performance, secured work as a "mermaid prince" NPC at Nanjing Aqua World [1]. Similarly, Zhong Ruiqi, a computer science student from Nanchang University, engaged in data collection work for embodied intelligence robotics [1]. One Suzhou-based embodied intelligence robotics company alone recruited over 100 summer interns this year [1].
Labor specialists caution students to exercise diligence when pursuing such opportunities. Wang Fei, a staff member at the Suzhou Municipal Labor Dispute Arbitration Institute, advised applicants to use official recruitment channels and ensure written agreements are in place before commencing work [1].
