Abstract With the increase of employment pressure, college students have aroused strong interest in innovation, entrepreneurship and competition, and they hope to get enough exercise to lay the foundation for future work. But since college students lack relevant experience and project model for reference, the descriptions on project title, format, plan and innovation angle are vague, and its declaration is often unsuccessful, which has frustrated the enthusiasm of college students. We hope to help college students declare "double creation" project via content design of "CDream creating a dream", to realize their dreams.

Key words Innovation and entrepreneurship, CDream creating a dream, Project design

1 Introduction

According to the statistics, there were 8 million graduates in 2017 in China, and supply exceeds demand in talent market, causing that many graduates can’t find satisfactory jobs[1]. Since they do not get enough exercise in school, it is extremely easy to cause "high-minded but low-skilled" graduates. Their employment prospects are not optimistic, and they are unfit for a higher post but unwilling to take a lower one. For these situations, related policies are issued successively in each university to promote that undergraduates obtain sufficient employment training[2]. It guides undergraduates to understand the demand of talent market in advance, awaken innovative thinking, conceive product creativity and foster entrepreneurship ideas via "double creation" project[3]. It encourages undergraduates to connect with social environment in school, and what you learn and think shifts toward employment aspect, which relieves employment pressure. So it’s no exaggeration to say, innovative entrepreneurship projects and creative competitions in school are the beginning of a dream for college students. Undergraduates do not have experience in this area, and there are not detailed and available information for project declaration and case filling. They lack experience and template, and could not thoroughly understand project content, and there is no novelty in the content. Similar problems emerge endlessly in project declaration process by college students. Thus, we hope to provide a communication and interaction platform for undergraduates, help realizing undergraduates’ innovation and entrepreneurship dreams, and lay a solid foundation for future employment via design and realization of "CDream creating a dream" project[4].

2 Overall design of"CDream creating a dream"

"CDream creating a dream" project platform contains three modules: think tank experts top-level design, engine search model learning area, and brainstorming discussion area (Fig.1). First, top-level design area. We and guidance teachers will invite teachers with rich experience in guiding entrepreneurship competitions to consist think tanks, to join in platform design, daily guidance and related policy analysis. Second, engine search model learning area. Main method is gradually activating retrieval database of excellent "great creation" projects preparation in university, province and even whole country, and providing reference template under the situation of not affecting intellectual property right. Third, brainstorming members’ discussion and exchange zone. The module will set two kinds of manners: private chat and group chat, which could not only help students in different majors, grades and departments to find like-minded partners and establish project team, but also provide a relatively private area for project members, to analyze and discuss topic selection, introduction and innovation.

3 Implementation of"CDream creating a dream"

Pre-preparation of "CDream creating a dream" is divided into four stages. First, it should collect research achievements of previous innovative entrepreneurship training for meta-analysis, thereby laying theoretic basis for project research. Second, it should collect relevant cases of entrepreneurship projects at home and abroad, understand and lean change directions of policies on college students’ entrepreneurship, and collate the relevant theories. Third, it should determine list of experts. According to prior guidance cases of each teacher, it should systematically analyze and integrate main guidance type that each person is good at, to help students better select. Fourth, referring to actual declaration situation of undergraduates in each university, questionnaire is designed for thorough investigation. Two kinds of survey strategies (electronics and paper) are selected. Meanwhile, questionnaire is issued on WeChat, QQ and microblog to invite undergraduates to fill in, which could guarantee its diffusion and popularity.
