Programme nominated for the Excellence in Education and Training Steelie Award 2023

With the continuous expansion of China Baowu Steel Group and the deepening of the intelligent manufacturing transformation, it is becoming increasingly urgent to accelerate the integration of corporate culture and the cultivation of composite technical and skilled talents that adapt to the development trend of technology. To this end, Baowu launched the rotation training programme for frontline employees on July 23, 2021.

By creating a “cohesion+service+empowerment” learning platform, Baowu has helped consolidate the consensus on the concept of “One Shared Baowu” among frontline employees, has guided employees to establish the sense of transforming and developing towards composite talents with the feature of interdisciplinary, cross-process, and crossinterface, and has effectively driven employees to transform into learning employees.

As of now, a total of 26 training sessions have been implemented, with 298 shifts being carried out. Nearly 17,000 frontline employees from 531 subsidiaries of 35 tier-I subsidiaries participated in the programme, 78.94% of which came from newly merged units.

Baowu’s training hours per capita in 2021 and 2022 were 120.20 hours and 138.02 hours, an increase of 18.31% and 38.85%, respectively, compared to 2020 (101.6 hours).
