What kind of talent is needed

Engineering schools are designed to train technical professionals for factories. Let’s discuss: what qualities should students in the chemical industry possess in order to work effectively in enterprises?

This is generally very difficult. What is taught in school is all theoretical and covers a wide range of topics; in a factory, however, only a small portion of that knowledge is needed, and it has to be applied in a very detailed and specialized manner. Moreover, the chemical industry requires experience, as there are things that cannot be understood merely from books.

1. One can get things done solidly by starting from the grassroots level. This process is essential and necessary; if performance at the grassroots level is poor, it will be difficult to progress in the future! II. It has a very high ability for active learning*. Once you enter the factory, it’s not like being at school anymore – there’s no one to supervise you, and no learning atmosphere. If you don’t take the initiative to improve yourself, no matter how many years you work there, you’ll remain at the level of an ordinary worker!

As a veteran employee with over 10 years of experience, I agree with what the two people above said! I just realized this too late. It’s essential to be down-to-earth, hardworking, and to start working at the grassroots level Combining theory with practice and strengthening learning is the only way to improve one’s professional skills! But the most important thing is to focus on developing one’s communication skills and leadership abilities! Only in this way can one work in a company with ease! :hug: :hug:

In my opinion: 1. It’s impossible to learn everything that is needed in a factory at school. I feel that only 5% to 10% of what is learned in school can be applied in a factory, while over 90% of what is necessary isn’t covered there; one has to learn those things through work. 2. Schools should focus on establishing a solid foundation in basic theoretical knowledge and developing the ability to analyze problems; such students have great potential for growth in their careers. 3. Most students are not meant to engage in research, and those advanced theories are rarely, if ever, used in actual work – they end up being forgotten by the students after a few years. 4. One’s progress in a factory depends entirely on one’s own efforts, and it has little to do with whether the school is prestigious or not. 5. It’s impossible to start working in a factory right after graduating from school; there needs to be an adaptation period, along with hard work and determination!

I have just trained a group of new undergraduates who joined the company. During my interactions with them, they admitted that less than 10% of what they learned in school is actually useful in practice. In other words, once you start working in a company, you need to learn from scratch*, combining theoretical knowledge with practical work. You must start at the grassroots level, be diligent, humble, and obedient (follow the instructions of your supervisors and mentors) if you want to have a chance for promotion! Compared to those with a formal education in chemistry or those who graduated from technical schools or vocational colleges, there is no difference at the beginning of their learning journey; it’s not possible to tell who is more skilled. But as long as you work hard*, it won’t take very long (usually one year) for your skills to improve significantly. At that point, your advantages will become apparent, and opportunities will arise for you!

University education is an endeavor that focuses on developing comprehensive skills; it broadens one’s horizons. Professional knowledge is just one aspect, while the methods of learning are what truly constitute the essence of university teaching. As for whether what you’ve learned is useful or not, it’s like eating 5 steamed buns until you’re full; you can’t say which one was the one that made you full.

Capable of getting down to work at the grassroots level, with a high level of initiative in learning. Coming out of school is just theory; one also needs to put it into practice in actual work. Moreover, there’s no end to what can be learned, and one should keep improving oneself through learning and practice
