The Tianjin Petrochemical Corp asked 47 workers from electrical maintenance, storage, oil transport, and gas separation to take part in a professional appraisal by the National Industrial Skills Appraisal Station, on Aug 30.
This involved a test consisting of knowledge and skills parts that are needed for certain positions. Participants took the exam in good spirit and got good comments from the test administrators
At Tianjin Petrochemical, there were trainers on hand for several training sessions on theory and practical knowledge for the workers. Over the past few years, these occupational skill appraisals at the national level have become a major career approach for many workers to better themselves.
There is now a team of experienced mid-to-senior-level operators at Tianjin Petrochemical, who make up more than 70 percent of all workers and have become an important part of production, management, and operations.
