As an important process in manufacturing field, cold forging technology plays a key role in high-end equipment manufacturing. However, with the continuous development of cold forging technology and the expansion of application fields, the industry is facing the bottleneck problem of talent shortage. This paper will discuss the reasons for the shortage of cold forging technical personnel, and put forward the strategies to solve the bottleneck of talents.
Analysis of the reasons for the shortage of cold forging technical personnel
High technical threshold: Cold forging technology requires professional knowledge and practical experience, and the demand for talents has a high threshold. As a result, it takes a long time and cost to train qualified cold forging technicians.
Insufficient educational resources: At present, professional education and training resources for cold forging technology are relatively limited. The lack of a systematic education system and training institutions makes the speed of talent training unable to meet the needs of the industry.
The rapid development of the industry: with the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, the application field of cold forging technology continues to expand, and the demand for talents is also increasing. However, the training speed of talents cannot keep up with the development speed of the industry, resulting in the phenomenon of talent shortage.
Serious brain drain: some cold forging technical talents are attracted by other industries or regions and choose to leave the cold forging industry. This exacerbates the problem of talent shortage and affects the sustainable development of the industry.
Strategies to crack the bottleneck of cold forging technical personnel
Strengthen professional education and training: establish a sound professional education system for cold forging technology, including higher education, vocational education and training institutions. Strengthen cooperation with enterprises, jointly develop training programs, and improve the pertinence and practicality of education.
Promote the combination of industry, university and research: strengthen the cooperation between enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions to jointly carry out the research and development of cold forging technology. Through practical projects, training bases and joint training and other ways to improve students’ practical ability and innovation awareness.
Establish incentive mechanism: Develop policies and measures to attract and retain talents, such as providing competitive salary, promotion opportunities and good working environment. Establish a talent evaluation and incentive mechanism to stimulate talent’s innovation potential and work enthusiasm.
Strengthen international cooperation and exchange: actively participate in international cooperation and exchange activities in the field of cold forging technology, and introduce foreign advanced technology and management experience. Through cooperation and exchange with international counterparts, the training level and international competitiveness of cold forging technical personnel in China will be improved.
Diversified training methods: In addition to traditional academic education and vocational training, online courses, distance education and practical projects can also be carried out. Meet the learning needs and time arrangement of different groups, improve the efficiency and coverage of talent training.
Establish a talent pool: Through the establishment of cold forging technical talent pool, collect and integrate all kinds of talent information. Enterprises and job seekers can match and docking through the reserve pool to improve the efficiency and success rate of recruitment. At the same time, the reserve can also provide a reference for the government to formulate relevant policies.
Enhance the image and visibility of the industry: strengthen the publicity and promotion of cold forging technology to enhance the image and visibility of the industry in society. Activities such as technical exchange conferences, exhibitions and seminars are held to enhance public awareness and understanding of cold forging technology and attract more talents to join the industry.
To solve the bottleneck of cold forging technical talents needs the joint efforts and support of the whole society. By strengthening professional education and training, promoting the combination of industry, university and research, establishing an incentive mechanism, strengthening international cooperation and exchanges, carrying out diversified talent training methods, establishing a talent pool and enhancing the image and visibility of the industry and other strategies, we can gradually solve the problem of cold forging technical talent shortage, providing a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of the industry.
