Company training has left me confused (please give me some advice! ! ! ）

It seems it was posted in the wrong place. Could the moderator help move it to the Petroleum Processing Technology Exchange area? Thank you

As someone who’s been through this, let me give you some practical advice: You already have a good grasp of theory in college, but you’re far behind when it comes to practice. Smart people will set aside their sense of being college students and humbly learn practical skills from experienced workers. This is the most crucial step for you. Perhaps you can get a satisfactory office desk without learning those practical skills, but which kind of person sitting at that desk will your leaders appreciate in the future?

I suggest the original poster read “The Great River Flows Eastward” written by Ane; the path that Song Yunhui took in it should be very inspiring to you

In practical work, both the learning process and the mundane tasks involve many valuable lessons. It depends on whether you’re willing to learn real things; experts in the petrochemical industry become such through hard work – they endure more hardships and face more challenges than others, and that’s how they gradually become experts. Only by gradually applying theoretical knowledge to explain and guide work can one continuously accumulate experience and improve one’s skills.

What 3# said is very practical – that’s indeed the case. In university, we do learn many advanced theories, and we have a high level of education; it is for this reason that leaders send us to be trained as future core members of the company. But we must be humble in our learning. When it comes to production processes, operational parameters, and things that require memorization, college graduates can grasp them more quickly than those with lower educational backgrounds. However, when it comes to practical experience, we are far behind experienced workers. Therefore, we must be humble, ask questions patiently, work more alongside the experienced staff, and learn more about the essence of production processes and the key points of operation, as well as strategies for dealing with everyday and emergency situations in production…… In short, there is so much to learn these days. As the saying goes, the deeper you delve into learning, the more questions you have, and the more you realize there is still to learn! Now, the leaders trust us, but once the training is over and you are placed in an important position, if you are not capable of handling the tasks and keep making mistakes, then the leaders will also remove you from that position!

Thank you all for your generous advice; it’s very enlightening. I will strive to do my best.

Lay a solid foundation; a tall building is built on a solid base. Only with a strong foundation can the building be constructed taller.

A reminder: in addition to mastering professional skills, one must also learn how to be a good person and how to handle tasks properly

In the first few years of starting work, it’s important to humbly seek advice from those who are more experienced. If you don’t ask now, when there are more newcomers around, you’ll feel too embarrassed to ask, and others won’t tell you either. Study more materials, visit Haichuan more often, and make the most of opportunities for hands-on practice. Take lots of notes, gain experience through practice, and build knowledge theoretically – one day, an opportunity will arise. One more thing to add: be patient and wait for your chance!

In the initial stage, there is a lot to learn*. Perhaps it will take you three years just to master what you are learning now. The most important thing is to learn, within the team and especially during shift rotations, how to work and how to adapt to the nature of chemical enterprises; moreover, one must learn, through production, how to learn better. What is learned is a kind of corporate spirit

I’ve encountered the same situation as you. Although sometimes it seems like you think you have a good grasp of things, there are still too many things you don’t know. Many details require accumulation over time. Especially during startup and maintenance operations, those who work in process management need to study startup procedures thoroughly, while those who work with equipment need to study maintenance procedures carefully. During normal production, the operation of the equipment is stable, so there isn’t much to learn. When I returned to the construction site at the company and talked with those technicians who had years of experience, I realized how much I still lacked knowledge; I only had a superficial understanding of many details related to the equipment, which was embarrassing. A new factory is a place where one can improve their skills, and those who are determined will surely see rapid progress. I believe the same is true for you. For example, when it comes to a heating furnace, you can’t just focus on knowing how to operate it – you also need to understand its structure, the materials used, the areas where problems are likely to occur, the causes of those problems, and how to avoid them. You also need to know what kind of refractory materials are used, whether there are any alternatives, and what the advantages and disadvantages of each are. It’s often too late to remember all these things later on. What real leaders expect from you is the knowledge you’ve accumulated over time.
