In recent years, the convening of the national vocational skills competition in the printing industry has caused many people in the industry to pay attention to the issue of vocational skills training. On the other side of the emergence of many high-skilled talents, there is a shortage of technical talents in various fields of the industry. We can see that in the past few years, there will be a “labor shortage” after the Spring Festival every year. What is more serious is that the “printing talent shortage” is full of the year-round development of the printing industry.
How can we solve the technical talent problem in the printing industry? Under the current social conditions, in today's highly mobile talents, the original model of "masters with apprentices" is obviously outdated, and training has become an important means of training talents in printing skills. Training in the printing industry has always relied on organizations such as industry associations and relevant government departments. But in recent years, printing equipment suppliers have joined the ranks.
Why is there no market?
As a supplier of equipment, the company that the author is working on is also concerned about the fact that there is a shortage of skilled talents in the industry, and hopes to try to improve this situation to some extent. The company has organized two training events in the near future, the training venues are Beijing and Shenzhen (to facilitate local and surrounding participants to participate in the training). In order to attract the students and at the same time let the students have more gains, the author's company has jointly carried out training activities jointly with two well-known printing colleges. From the curriculum design, combined with its own advantages (engineers with rich practical experience, advanced practice equipment) and college resources (professional professors with profound theoretical literacy), from the two aspects of theory and practical operation, do their best Contribute to the most learning content of the students. The most important thing is that the training of the organizers has also made great efforts in terms of fees. In order to attract more people to join the training team, it is only a symbolic fee.
What is the result of the training event? From the perspective of attending trainees, everyone cherishes such learning opportunities and does not miss a minute of study time. It can be seen that the printing operators are eager to have the opportunity to train to improve their skills, and they also cherish such opportunities.
But recalling the enrollment of each training class is not satisfactory. For the organizers, such preferential conditions should be able to recruit more students, and in fact, not many people actively register.
Resistance is varied
What is going on here? As we all know, in general on-the-job training, students are often appointed by the printing company, and the company will pay for the training related expenses. Despite the strong willingness of the printing operators to train, if the printing companies can't be appointed, they can't do the training because of the “overtime + self-pay”. It can be seen from this that the key to the development of training activities in the printing industry lies in the perception of the management of the printing enterprise managers. Some companies attach great importance to training, and even the company's main leaders and department managers will participate in skills training activities.
The ability to participate in training also depends on the company's business during the training period, which is an important factor. If you choose to be in the peak season, the common sight in the printing house is that all departments decentralized the workshop to participate in the labor, which is no way to get people to participate in the training.
What other issues affect the printing operators to participate in the training? That is the concern of the company. Worried that after the training, the skills upgrade will require salary increases. They are worried that they will be "diggered" by other companies after training. Although this kind of guess is a bit narrow, I am afraid there are some.
Of course, the cost is also a problem that must be considered. Even if you can train for free, there are still problems with transportation and accommodation.
Diversified demand
At the end of each training, we will do a simple investigation. Especially for the peak season and off-season issues, we are mainly concerned. What surprised us was that there was no uniform answer to the results that everyone filled out, and it could even be said to be varied. Perhaps we often think that we are willing to think that a certain type of printing company is a low season in a few months, and the business is not very busy. But in fact, our survey did not show such a result.
For the training time, most people think that 5 days is more appropriate, and they can complete the training without hesitation. If there are only 3 days, the course schedule is very tight and everyone has to stop non-stop to complete the course. 5 days, if it is captain training, it is already stressful for those busy printing companies, but it should be within acceptable limits.
For the content of training, theoretical teaching is as important as practical operation. Sometimes we may feel that it is more important to do the operation, wrong. For the front-line operators of printing companies, they generally have not experienced systematic theoretical studies. They have the opportunity to study theoretically. They are an inventory and summary of their past practical experience. The sublimation of their skills. Practical operation training is also essential, and many operational skills can only be understood thoroughly through meticulous practice. At the same time, the operators from the printing line generally come with problems, some troubles encountered in practice, and some innovative methods of operation, they all hope to find the answer during the training.
Nowadays, many printing equipment manufacturers have relevant training. Whether they charge or not, their original intention is to train more highly skilled personnel so that their brand equipment can exert the maximum energy and maintain the longest life. . This is consistent with the focus of the printing company.
It is important to know that the same equipment is handed over to skilled people and used by people who are technically unfamiliar. The effect is different. The production efficiency is different, the product quality is different, and the service life of the equipment is different. Even the energy efficiency of the equipment is different. In general, the original equipment can be used for the difficulty of 100, but because the operator does not understand the equipment, only half of the difficulty can be completed. This restricts the use of equipment and at the same time is detrimental to the development of the enterprise. On this issue, printing equipment suppliers have an innate advantage, and they are most qualified to provide high-level training for printing companies.
From this perspective, if every printing equipment supplier can actively participate in the training of skilled personnel, to contribute a little to the training of skilled talents in the printing industry, the printing industry will show gratifying changes.
