The establishment of express college is not accidental.The number of couriers in China increased by 50 percent from 2016 to 2018, bringing the total number to 3 million, according to the 2018 couriers group insight report.'More and more young people are joining the express industry, but the turnover rate of couriers remains high.A lack of career planning and a lack of professional identity given by society are the main reasons for the problem.'Jiang bo, deputy director of the jiangsu postal administration, said.

Psychology and linguistics are all important to be a good Courier.'Sun anning, President of the jiangsu express delivery association, encourages practitioners to 'never belittle yourself if you have no high or low career.Through my own efforts, I will strengthen my study and improve the reputation of the industry, so as to push the whole industry to develop in a better and better direction.'
