The cultivation of skilled workers is nothing more than two ways, one is to train in the factory through the method of teachers and apprentices, and the other is to establish a special technical school for training.

The method of the master with the apprentice is feasible in the age of the handicraft workshop, but it is inevitable that there will be a generation less than a generation.The master learned from his master, I am afraid, only 70% or 80%, and then teach his apprentices, and then have to discount.After several generations, the final level is getting lower and lower.In the age of large-scale industry, the knowledge required by a worker is not limited to a profession, and it is even more difficult to rely on the master to teach the arts, and these trainings must be completed by a special technical school.

As early as the 1950s, China has established a number of technical schools, including the establishment of labor departments in the provinces and municipal governments, the establishment of various director offices, and factories to run technical schools.During the sports years, some technical schools were converted into factories, and the training of technicians was greatly affected.After the end of the movement, some technical schools were resumed in various places, but for various reasons, the operation of most technical schools was not ideal, and this state of affairs even continued until the 1990s.

Wu Shican proposed to train 50 million qualified skilled workers by the end of the century, which is a grand and outrageous goal from the perspective of that year.In 1981, only 80 million people were employed in the country's secondary industry, including government officials, logistics personnel, workers of unskilled jobs, and so on.There are some small enterprises in the village office and social office, and technical workers who do not need to have too high a level, have a few three-legged cat's kung fu, can open the motivation bed, and the car has a few axes, which can be regarded as a mechanic.50 million qualified mechanic is an astronomical number.

But Feng Xiaochen knows that according to the development trend of China's industry, it is necessary to train 50 million qualified technicians.By 2000, China's secondary industry employment had doubled to 160 million people, and China had become the "world's factory", and many companies were struggling to find excellent technicians.The formation of a high-quality technical team, not three or five years, but the need to be 20 years in advance of the layout, Wu Shican just listened to Feng Xiaochen's prediction, thought of such a problem, its insight is indeed extraordinary.

"Director Wu, the matter of technical training is indeed very important, but should this not be considered by the General Administration of Labor?"Let’s reinstall the plan, is it too much?”Feng Xiaochen reminded me.

Wu Shican said: "I know that the technical school is the responsibility of the labor department, but I have seen some of their work ideas, and they lack the correct understanding of the development trend of the entire industry."Not to mention the General Administration of Labour of the State, the Labour Bureau in many places does not use technical schools as a platform for the training of skilled workers, but as a means to solve the employment problem.Many people go to technical schools in order to be able to allocate work, and when they allocate work, they are not willing to engage in their own majors, prefer to go to the office, or do some lighter jobs.In this way, we will have a passive situation in the future, which will have a shortage of senior skilled workers.”

"The director is right."Feng Xiaochen nodded, “In fact, this situation has already happened.I felt that way when I visited Qin again this time.In recent years, the number of retired old workers is very large, and a large number of new workers have entered the factory, resulting in a significant decline in the technical level of enterprises.I heard a friend of Pujiang say that the labor department of Pujiang City has done a statistic that the city lacks more than 700,000 skilled workers, which has seriously affected Pujiang's industrial production efficiency and product quality.

I've seen similar data.Wu Shican said, "But I have not yet felt that this matter is so urgent, feel that through the existing system for cultivation, after a few years, this kind of lack of access to the situation can be improved."Today I heard you speak at the meeting about the forecast of China's industrial development in the next 20 years, and I suddenly felt that the situation was very serious.If we follow the current training, we will find it difficult to develop a team of skilled workers of a sufficient size.”

Feng Xiaochen asked, “So, what is the director of Wu going to do?”

Wu Shican said: "I currently think of two points: First, we need to do a research to report to the Economic Commission on the current problems in the training of skilled workers, please the Commission and the State Administration of Labor from the high level of development of the national equipment manufacturing industry to pay attention to this problem; second, we should establish a technical teacher school, dedicated to the key equipment manufacturing enterprises we contact export technical teachers."Many of our key equipment companies have their own factories to run technical schools, but the teachers of technical schools are very weak.If we can provide them with excellent technical teachers, it will play a vital role in improving the level of training of their technicians.”

“Do we do our own technical training school?”Feng Xiaochen was stunned by Wu Shican's brain hole.To be honest, he really thought about this, but every time he thought about it, he would quickly deny it, because the reinstallation is the total of more than 20 people, which is likely to run a school by himself.But this idea came out of Wu Shican's mouth, the meaning is different, Wu Shican is not a person who speaks the river, he dares to put forward such a idea, it must mean that this thing is promising.

“It’s not difficult.”Wu Shican saw Feng Xiaochen's thoughts and said with a smile, "We reinstall ourselves without preparation, but we can borrow someone else's preparation to do this, we only need to come up with a name."

"I don't understand."Feng Xiaochen answered honestly.

Wu Shican said, “We can find a company, borrow it from its current factory-run technical school, and change it to a senior technical teacher training school for reinstallation.”As for personnel, they can be seconded from each unit.Funding is a more troublesome problem, it is not enough to share it with the enterprises.But it's something that's good for businesses, and they don't have a point of view, even if they're a share of some of the costs."

“Is that okay too?”It seems that the wisdom of the masses is infinite.

In the impression of many people, there were a lot of ideological restricted areas, people are afraid to do something casually.But the truth is the opposite, because the lack of various rules and regulations, the autonomy of each unit to do things is very large, many things as long as they do not touch the "lightfield", there will be no one to manage, you can try it casually.The unit leaders of those years were also very bullish, as long as what I did was in the national interest, even if it was not compliant, you could not do it.

The popular saying of that year was "crossing the river with stones", which means that there is no experience in everything, so you can only try.The state also encourages various units to make various attempts, and in the famous novel "The President of the House of President Joe", many plots to break stereotypes were written, and these were considered to be the expression of reform.

On the contrary, after the new century, state ministries or state-owned enterprises need to be cautious when doing things.Everything must be talked about the procedure, if it is a violation of the procedural requirements, even if your motivation is good, you will be subject to all kinds of criticism and even punishment.Many officials' creeds have become "not to seek merit, but to seek nothing", but there is no courage to dare to be the first in the world at the beginning of the reform.

The idea put forward by Wu Shican is a way to play the policy of wiping the edge ball.The re-installation office is linked to hundreds of key equipment enterprises, most of which need high-level skilled workers, and expect the technical schools in the labor sector to train these talents, and inevitably have problems with itching.Since the re-installation office is responsible for the task of negotiating the development of major equipment, it is naturally necessary to try to solve the problem of shortage of skilled workers, then it is not wrong to build a technical teacher school.

If you want to apply to a higher authority to set up a school, nine out of ten can not pass.Because the preparation of the re-installation office is determined, the funds are also determined, and there is no school in the original prescribed function.But the re-installation office can do this in one of the simplest ways, that is, to find a company to borrow a school to use, the preparation is ready-made, the reloading office is only to provide technical guidance, which is not contrary to the provisions of the matter.

The school can be borrowed, and the staff can also borrow it naturally.At the beginning, the metallurgical bureau had a large number of seconded personnel, which is an alternative method to complete the heavy work tasks without affecting the original preparation.Such an alternative is allowed by the superiors, even if the higher authorities themselves often do so.

“Is this a time when this is so important?”

Luo Xiangfei met Wu Shican and Feng Xiaochen in his office, and after listening to their opinions on the establishment of a higher technical teacher training school, Luo Xiangfei asked such a question with a frowning eyebrow.The last time Feng Xiaochen suggested that he help solve the problem of separation between the two places in various enterprises, it made him feel a little confused.Now this matter has not been completed, and another idea came out to run a school, Luo Xiangfei some doubts whether Feng Xiaochen is deliberately messing up.

“I think it’s really important.”Feng Xiaochen replied to Wu Shican.

“Tell me to see.”Luo Xiangfei.

Feng Xiaochen said: "The 11 major equipment projects we are currently responsible for are facing the shortage of senior skilled workers.Instead of being willing to use traditional processes to make these major equipment, we need to introduce international advanced manufacturing processes, many of which we have never been exposed to before.For example, argon arc welding technology, many 30-year-old welders will not, can only learn from scratch.There is also CNC machine tool technology, which is completely unfamiliar to many factories.

As more and more advanced equipment is introduced, the contradiction of the technical fault will become more and more intense, relying on the piecemeal cultivation of skilled workers by enterprises, with low efficiency and poor effect, and the total cost is not small.As a consultative body, the re-installation office should bear this burden and help enterprises to complete the training of senior technicians.”(Unfinished.
