How to improve workers' operational skills?

This is also something I want to consider: how can we truly improve workers’ technical skills, rather than having them just do practice tests and memorize answers? None of these are what is desired; there is also resistance

The best approach is to set standards and assess those who fail to meet them according to the established system. If the pressure is sufficient, the only option left is to refer the matter to human resources. And one cannot compromise; just like when getting a driver’s license, if you compromise, you become a road killer.

Your problem lies in the low quality of the exam questions. In fact, in chemical production and other common production system roles, proficiency in the principles of unit processes is generally the basis required. Those that are deemed truly controllable can pass, while those that cannot be controlled should be handled in accordance with the assessment criteria. The principle-related questions must be understood; this question can also serve as a preview before the exam. The approach to obtaining a driver’s license is worth considering; it includes both theoretical and practical components, so it’s worth giving it a try. It is worth noting that the key to carrying out this work is to be meticulous and follow the rules. As long as it meets the standards, that’s fine. It should not be aimed at confusing the other party. Just like someone who washes dishes in a restaurant, he doesn’t need to know which dishes are popular. For reference.

I understand all of what you’ve said. As for what kind of topics are better, perhaps you could share them so I can take them as a reference

The overall social and corporate environment does not provide support; it is difficult at this stage to improve the skill levels of all employees, and there are no appropriate systems in place

In my personal opinion,； It’s the leadership problem! Kindness does not breed soldiers; such soldiers are worthless! Put the whole nest in there! People’s qualities and abilities are developed through management! Bad habits are formed through repetition! If the latter makes progress, the entire team moves forward!

I have worked in positions involving the separation of cold and deep-air streams. The main way to improve skills at that time was through examinations, and the types of questions followed a standard pattern: judgment, fill-in-the-blanks, calculations, and question-and-answer exercises. Putting cheating aside, the actual effect is just as you said. Later, when I moved to a management position, the exam questions related to this system were changed to one question that required describing the steps and principles for starting up the equipment, the working principles of individual devices in actual operations on site, the maintenance required for those devices, and the emergency procedures for handling unexpected situations. Because mastering all of this content is required to be a qualified worker for the position; otherwise, the matter will be referred to human resources. This type of exam question is representative; the underlying principles are also representative, and once mastered, one can handle all types of questions. You might as well give it a try.

Offer more bonuses to make the position attractive and competitive; only by valuing one’s job can there be motivation to learn and improve.

Haha, I remember during my exam, the examiner asked right away how many pressure gauges there were in this process, what values they indicated, and how one would determine what to do if one of the pressure gauges showed abnormal readings Fortunately, I’m quite careful; I first go over it in my mind, and then on paper I draw out the process while noting down the locations and pressures...
