After meticulous preparation, on the morning of 24 March, the “Star Power Program”, a talent quality and capability dual-improvement project jointly organized by XINGI TECH and Jiangsu Jicui Advanced Fiber Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd., opened as scheduled in the conference hall on the third floor of the company. Zhu Meifang, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chief Scientist of the Jicui Fiber Research Institute, Ji Junling, Director of the Jicui Fiber Research Institute, Zhu Jianjun, General Manager of XINGI TECH Co., Ltd., and Deputy General Managers Chen Bing and Zhou Shudong attended the opening ceremony.
Mr. Zhu said in his address that the first Star Power Program training class had opened as scheduled, which was a major event in XINGI TECH’s talent development program and also a major event in the history of the company’s development. Talent is the primary resource, and for an enterprise to cut through obstacles and stand at the forefront of the tide in an era of fierce competition, it cannot do without a talent team that is loyal to the enterprise, brave in striving, bold in innovation, outstanding in capability and selfless in dedication. It is precisely because batch after batch of outstanding talent have striven hard in their posts, shed sweat and given play to their wisdom that XINGI TECH has achieved the results it has today. Looking to the future, XINGI TECH will build the world’s largest ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber R&D and production base and become a world-class provider of UHMWPE fiber application solutions, and the company’s future development requires a large number of outstanding technical and managerial talents. At present, the quality of our entire workforce, especially the cadre team, is uneven; some personnel still need to further improve their professional and technical capabilities, communication and coordination skills, teamwork and execution, while some newly promoted managers have not effectively changed their roles and the core energy of their teams has not been fully released. Achievement in any undertaking comes from achievement in learning. Mr. Zhu required all trainees to cherish the learning opportunity, focus their energy, integrate quickly, and truly think in learning, gain from thinking, act on what they gain and achieve results through action, laying a foundation for their own growth and progress and accumulating energy for the company’s development with a rich store of knowledge and solid capabilities. Mr. Zhu hoped that all trainees would learn with questions in mind, understand, deepen and refine the knowledge taught by their teachers, and clarify, accurately identify and thoroughly grasp the specific problems encountered in their work, striving to improve their theoretical level, judgment and discernment, and ability to analyze and solve problems, so as to turn learning outcomes into a powerful driving force for guiding their work.
Professor Zhu Meifang, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered a warm address and extended warm congratulations on the cooperation between the two sides. She said that “talent is the primary resource and science and technology are the primary productive forces”, and that the Star Power Program, guided by the principle of “resource sharing, complementary advantages, mutual promotion and common improvement”, takes talent development as an opportunity to carry out in-depth, all-round and substantive cooperation in scientific and technological innovation and research collaboration. Jicui Fiber will also give play to its own advantages to provide trainees with comprehensive, practical and systematic professional technical training, helping them comprehensively improve their personal capabilities and realize the common development of their career dreams and the company’s goals.
General Manager Zhu Jianjun and Director Ji Junling jointly signed a strategic cooperation agreement, specifying the cooperation objectives and concrete measures of both sides in talent development. By introducing outstanding teachers, carrying out professional training and organizing practical activities, the two sides will cultivate a group of high-quality talents with professional skills and an innovative spirit, providing strong talent support for the company’s sustainable development. This not only marks a further deepening of the cooperation between the two sides, but also injects new vitality into promoting scientific and technological innovation and talent development.
Trainee representative Huang Fei made a statement, and company leaders and experts from the Jicui Fiber Research Institute pinned badges on the trainee representatives.
Afterwards, Professor Chen Yinjun, Professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Donghua University, Distinguished Researcher at the State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials, and a Shanghai 2021 overseas high-level talent, delivered a keynote speech titled “Trends and Prospects of High-Performance Fibers” and gave a professional lecture on “High-Performance Fibers”. On 25 March, Wang Hongli, an expert in human resource management, lectured on “Human Resource Management for Non-HR Managers”.
It was reported that the first phase of the Star Power Program training lasts 10 months, with two days of intensive study each month, taught by expert professors in the field of high-performance fibers from Donghua University and leading domestic management experts, achieving a dual improvement in the quality and capability of management and technical backbone staff and accumulating new momentum for the company’s high-quality development.
