Chapter 546: Build Your Own School(2/2)
The current Huaihai Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. has just put up a shelf.
Many departments have not yet been fully developed.
I rented a floor in an office building in the city as an office location.
The only departments that are truly fully staffed are the Administration Department, the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department.
Other departments are still just empty shelves.
In the conference room of Huaihai Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., Yu Qingyang presided over the meeting.
This is the second time that he, the chairman, has come to chair a meeting.
After each department, general manager, and deputy general manager reported on their work in the recent period, Yu Qingyang said with a smile: "I went to the construction site of the production base to take a look, and the progress was pretty smooth!
I just heard everyone’s reports. During this period, the company’s establishment has been proceeding in an orderly manner.
Thank you all for your hard work!
I have heard a lot from everyone just now. I have a question here, that is, the recruitment of workers in production bases and manufacturing plants has not yet started!
A new construction machinery manufacturing plant requires a large number of basic workers.
How do you plan to solve this problem?"
"Director Yu, according to the construction progress of the production base, it will take three years for the production base to be put into use!
Therefore, our main focus in recent times has been on exploring the domestic market!
Basic workers are being recruited now and there is no place to place them, so..." Zhang Qingxing explained.
“I know it’s a little early to recruit basic workers!
But why can’t we directly entrust universities or advanced vocational colleges to train basic workers for us?
Or should we directly acquire a technical school and train basic workers ourselves?"
"Grow it yourself?"
"Yes, we will need a lot of basic workers in the future!
It is estimated that it will be difficult to meet our needs simply by recruiting from the society!
Because it’s not the 1980s or 1990s anymore!
At that time, there were a large number of laid-off workers, many of whom were highly skilled basic workers in state-owned factories!
Now, with the continuous development of the country's economy, those workers who come out of state-owned factories have already been digested by society!
It’s not easy to find a large number of skilled basic workers!
Even if they are recruited, they will only be ordinary workers who have just graduated or have little skills.
After entering the factory, you still need training!"
"Director Yu, even if we entrust a senior vocational college or technical school to train, or we run our own technical school, the trained students will still need to be retrained when they arrive at the school!
In the past, at SAIC-Volkswagen, fresh graduates were considered pretty good if they could get started after one month of pre-job training.
In many cases, it takes three months or even half a year of internship before you can gradually become competent at the job."
"I know what you are saying. At the group construction company, I require all new employees to go to the front line for three months of training!
I’m just afraid that they have too much ambition and too little talent!
What I just mentioned about targeted training and running our own schools is actually to solve this problem!
Install a small production line in the school!
The training of students takes place directly on the production line!
We guarantee that every student will be a skilled worker after graduation!
We can also adopt the approach of being lenient in and strict in exiting!
Sign employment contracts with all students!
For example, there is no tuition fee and exam-free admission, but there are strict assessments every semester!
Anyone who fails to meet the assessment standards will be fired!
In this way, those who finally pass the assessment and graduate are skilled basic workers!"
“Dr. Yu, this is a good idea! This way we can save a lot of time!
Three years later, after the production base is put into use, we already have a large number of skilled technical workers!
There is another benefit here, that is, the workers we have trained ourselves are already familiar with Volvo’s production standards in school!
Even the pre-job training is left!" Zhang Qingxing was the first to agree.
If we can really do what Xiang Yu Qingyang said, we can indeed save a lot of things.
"Mr. Todd Lundgren, regarding the training of basic workers, we still need support from Volvo headquarters!
Volvo needs to send mechanical engineers and highly skilled technical workers to participate in training and teaching!
In addition, the problem of small production lines also requires the support of Volvo headquarters!" Yu Qingyang looked at Todd Rundgren and demanded.
"Okay Chairman, I will contact the headquarters after the meeting!
Are there any specific requirements for personnel?”
“I require engineers and skilled workers in all aspects of production!
In fact, for skilled workers, Volvo can send experienced and skilled workers who cannot work because of their age to participate in teaching!"
"Okay Chairman! I will convey your request to the headquarters!"
"very good!
Then the next task is to determine, should we look for schools to cooperate with, or should we build our own schools?
Let’s all talk about it!”
“I think it’s more appropriate to find schools to cooperate with!
It would be great if we built our own schools!
However, our need for essential workers is not endless!
There will always be a day when you are full!
What will happen to the school then?" Xie Jiasen was the first to say.
“I think it’s better to build my own school, as for the situation of saturation!
Our production base needs tens of thousands of basic workers!
When the basic workers are saturated, we can completely turn the school into a worker training school!
Technology is constantly being updated, and workers also need to keep learning!" Zhang Qingxing supports building a school by himself.
Todd Rundgren said he could do whatever he wanted and did not express an opinion. Some of the department managers below supported the establishment of the school, while others supported cooperation with the school.
Finally, everyone looked at Yu Qingyang, waiting for him to make up his mind.
“My opinion is to build your own school!
Of course, you don’t build new campuses yourself, but acquire existing schools!
Huaihai Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. will be a behemoth!
We need far more skilled workers than everyone estimates.
After a period of research, you should understand what are the bottlenecks restricting Volvo's domestic sales?
That is after-sales maintenance!
In the future we will establish maintenance points and after-sales service points in all cities across the country!
The technical workers or service personnel at these points need professional training!
Chapter completed!
