On the workshop floors of Jiangsu Haizhongzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., it is common to see experienced senior masters guiding young employees, explaining technical key points while referring to blueprints. This is a snapshot of the shipyard's long-standing "Mentorship" system, which has provided strong support for building a robust technical talent pipeline.
As a cohort of veteran technicians gradually approaches retirement age, accelerating the cultivation of young technical backbone has become crucial for the shipyard's sustainable development. This year, the shipyard has carefully matched over thirty newly hired young employees with technical mentors and signed one-year "Mentorship" agreements. These agreements clearly define training objectives, content, and assessment criteria, covering various core trades from blueprint reading and lofting to assembly and welding.
"My mentor teaches me not only skills but also the attitude towards work," reflected a young assembly worker. This "passing on, helping, guiding" model not only rapidly enhances the skill level of young employees but also perpetuates the rigorous and responsible craftsmanship spirit of the older generation of shipbuilders.
The Human Resources department stated that they will further improve incentive mechanisms to encourage more outstanding senior employees to engage in mentoring, thereby building a solid talent reserve for the shipyard's high-quality development.
