Instrumentation talents fault school-enterprise cooperation to find a way out

The Chinese Society of Test Instruments and the China Association of Analytical Testing were commissioned by the relevant authorities of the country to conduct investigations and research on the test instrument industry in China. In the analysis, it was pointed out that the lack of talent and the large amount of loss have become serious obstacles to the scientific and technological innovation and industrialization of the test instrument industry, especially for state-owned enterprises.

Vice Minister Wu Xiaoqing of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said in the “First National Special Survey of Environmental Monitoring Professionals and Technicians” that local environmental monitoring stations are small in scale and personnel quality is relatively low. The quality of the monitoring personnel is uneven, with relatively more junior and middle professional technicians and fewer senior professional technicians.

In the recruitment of instrument and meter companies, it is facing the shortage of professionals. For example, in Chongqing, an important instrumentation base in China, the recruitment director of an instrumentation company stated that after the adjustment of the financial crisis, the company’s demand for machinery manufacturing talents has soared, but nobody cares. In the hometown of Wenzhou valve and valve instrument, Wenzhou, recently held a symposium on the Wenzhou valve industry. Participants were all technical vice presidents of the company. One participant said with emotion: “7 years ago, such a meeting would be us, and now we are still These people are more than 60 years old, we can come to play the remaining heat, and now all Benba (80 years old), how long can we persist? We are seeking transformation and upgrading of the Wenzhou valve, facing the talent bottleneck."

It can be seen that the talent supply and demand in the instrumentation industry has become a pressing issue that restricts the development, transformation, and innovation of the industry. With the increase in labor costs, such problems will still exist for some time. In order to solve this problem, many companies have chosen to cooperate with schools.

For example, the opening ceremony of the Hefei Industrial University-Chongqing Chuanyi Automation Instrumentation Technology Research Center and the appointment ceremony of Professor Wu Peng and Wang Gangshuo were held at Hefei University of Technology. He Jianghong, Vice President of Hefei University of Technology, attended the unveiling and appointment ceremony. The establishment of Hefei University of Technology - Chongqing Chuanyi Automation Instrumentation Technology Center will further expand the depth and breadth of the cooperation between the production, research and development of the two sides, and provide a solid platform for the discipline construction and personnel training of the university, as well as technological innovation and product upgrading. Another example is the joint efforts of all parties, Wenzhou colleges and universities began to take the lead in the country to establish a professional valve, pumping valves for Wenzhou and even the country professionals.

Of course, it takes a long time to train a group of excellent instrumentation industry professionals. There are still many things our company and the government have to do. As the industry continues to grow and develop, we expect the industry to emerge more and more able to promote the development of high-quality talents in the instrumentation industry!
