Lack Of Talents - A Knot Tied To The Footwear Industry In Sichuan?

By 2010, the total scale of shoemaking industry in the city will reach 50 billion yuan. By 2015, we will strive to build the largest shoe production base in China, and the total scale of footwear industry is 100 billion yuan.

According to the "Chengdu footwear industry cluster development plan", the city will become the largest footwear production base in the country in 2015. The important R & D design and testing center, trade center, talent training center, brand exhibition center and information intermediary service center of the domestic footwear industry will produce 550 million pairs of annual production capacity, and the total scale of footwear industry is 100 billion yuan, which will drive the scale of employment of 960 thousand people in Chengdu and surrounding areas.

At the same time, while the whole industry is exulting, the problem of talent, the most critical factor supporting the development of industry, is gradually revealed.

"At once, we felt that the talent was not enough."

Businesses have said.

The lack of talents in the footwear industry has brought challenges to the shoe industry.

The development speed and scale of Chengdu footwear industry are far from keeping up with the development of the footwear industry.

The training of talents in society and industry has not kept pace with the development of footwear industry. The development of footwear industry is seriously disproportionate with the development of talents, and the reserve talents of footwear industry are also seriously deficient.

Twenty thousand month salary can not be recruited. "I give a monthly salary of 20 thousand yuan, but I still can't recruit qualified talents."

In the week of July, Xiong Daiyu, general manager of Chengdu beauty point Shoes Co., Ltd. felt that he was "busy with his work." in order to recruit a more standard shoemaking division, he and the director of Human Resources Department of the company spent a whole week recruiting and selecting in the whole city.

Fu Jiamei, chief executive of Sichuan Jiamei Footwear Company, has had the same "pain": one day last month, when he signed a large list from Guangdong to return to his office, a document issued by the Ministry of personnel was put on the table: 50 workers were short of work in the factory, and in the 3 recruitment sessions last week, there were actually 18 workers enrolled.

The document has not been finished yet, and the workshop and various departments have also sent urgent reports: they are seriously short of manpower. If no immediate reinforcement is needed, the production line will not be delivered on time.

"Just signed the big list of the joy of all of a sudden, I was paralyzed on the back of the chair for a long time, and finally had to call the customer to cancel the half of the contract!"

Speaking of the situation at that time, Fu Jiamei still has a lingering fear.

"The lack of talent in shoes industry has seriously restricted the pace of development of footwear industry in our province". Facing the predicament of enterprises and industries, the leather industry association of Sichuan province has made special analysis. As a big province of shoe production, industry optimization and industry progress are the most important aspects of the development of the footwear industry.

After the development of Chengdu's largest female shoe production and processing base, the speed and scale of the development of the footwear industry are far from keeping up with the development of the footwear industry.

The training of talents in society and industry has not kept pace with the development of the footwear industry. The development of footwear industry is seriously disproportionate with the development of talents. This will bring negative effects on the development of footwear industry. One sidedly pursuit of output and market efficiency, and neglect of personnel training and investment, will continue to have adverse effects on the footwear industry in Chengdu for a long time.

In addition to the shortage of existing talents, the experts have also warned about reserve and cultivation of reserve talents: only a few regular institutions in our province have set up shoe-making majors, but the total number of professionals trained every year is only a few hundred, which is far from meeting the needs of industrial development and market.

For the time being, in the Chengdu footwear market, senior talents (including design personnel, managerial personnel, technical personnel, marketing talents, foreign trade talents, etc.) and ordinary skilled workers, namely assembly line workers, have shown a serious gap.

The people concerned call on the government, associations or industries to integrate the short term cram schools that have made up the number of shoes to build up middle schools or related specialties in shoe-making major. Relevant scholars of Sichuan University believe that only enterprises and the government's enthusiastic concern are committed to training professional talents, and enterprises should pay attention to the management of talents and stimulate the enthusiasm of talents, so as to make the development of footwear industry advance by leaps and bounds.

To set up a shoe industry specialized school, aiming at the talents in shoe making industry, the experts on the footwear industry and the shoemaking industry have discussed the training and utilization of shoemaking talents recently.

Experts believe that at present, our province's regular personnel training and shoe-making education are still struggling. Due to the lack of shoemaking professionals, there is no basic guarantee for the training of shoemaking talents, and some short-term training institutions in the society are unable to train high-quality professionals. If talents can not keep up, the development of industries will inevitably encounter bottlenecks.

The relevant people appeal to the government, associations or industry to integrate the short term cram schools that are full of rules and regulations, and put them into formal training courses with a large scale, that is, to set up middle schools for shoemaking majors or to set up relevant specialties in Colleges and universities so as to completely solve the problem of shoemaking education, and resolve the difficulties of shoemaking industry in a timely manner.

The relevant scholars of Sichuan University believe that only the enthusiasm of enterprises and government is concerned, we are committed to training professional talents, and establishing middle and high shoemaking colleges. Enterprises focus on the management of talents and stimulate the enthusiasm of talents, so as to make the footwear industry develop by leaps and bounds. It is also a guarantee for Chengdu shoe industry to reach the world.

"The development of modern industry needs a large number of compound talents who are familiar with footwear industry trade, personnel training, brand exhibition, R & D design and testing, information intermediary service, brand production and footwear industry. If there is a special shoe education school, the talents in every link of the industrial chain should be carefully built, which will provide a solid guarantee for the development of the industry."

Peng Jun, chairman of Sichuan West shoe capital company, said.

Fortunately, at present, in our city, with "one capital and two gardens" as the breakthrough point and the goal of making bigger and stronger shoes cluster, some places have already begun a useful exploration.

If Wuhou District has launched a series of talent plans in the near future, it will strengthen the comprehensive cooperation between universities and companies through the government connection, set up the talent reserve mechanism and provide all-round talents for the footwear industry in Chengdu. Jintang county has increased the strength of the shoemaking talents, and Chongzhou has also increased the talent introduction and training through the interaction with Wuhou District and Jintang counties, so as to further perfect the shoemaking talents. These measures have greatly improved the talent chain of the footwear industry in our city and played a crucial role in the footwear industry.

Wu Hou: the lens of Italy's shoemaking technology institute ushered in three special guests. They are the Chinese guests who have run more than half of the globe and have come to learn to visit the design craft of footwear industry. The staff member of the international procurement section of the China Women's shoes city is a member of the staff of the July 10, 2007.

At the Italy shoemaking Institute of technology and technology, the staff of the organizing committee marvel at the fact that the college has been collecting for more than 100 years, and there are hundreds of thousands of pieces of students who graduated from the college every year.

A large number of design works not only let them open their eyes, but also let them sigh Italy's "deep foundation for the design talent reserve".

The Organizing Committee immediately said that after coming back to Chengdu, they must open a lecture on shoes industry in Chengdu, which has helped the universities in China start the design talent pool.

At the same time, with the frequent visits from the organizing committee to Italy, Spain and the relevant leaders of the local footwear industry alliance, the Chengdu women's shoes in China have also heard new news. The organizing committee has officially launched the selection of the international young women's shoes designers. It will select high-level young designers who are active in the shoe design frontline, and carry out work on the exchange of design works and the flow of talents.

In the face of the lack of talents in shoe trade, R & D and design, Wuhou District actively launched the "brain training" plan: starting from the talent reserve of R & D, senior management, plation and shoe marketing, through the high-end visits with Italy, Spain and other countries, through the major international footwear industry forum, international procurement Festival and other ways, we strengthened exchanges and cooperation with the shoemaking power countries, and strengthened the talent pool in the production process, and gradually built up a tough shoe industry team.

In order to grasp the trend and trend of footwear industry in a timely manner, and increase the reserves and training of local designers in Chengdu, Wuhou District has accelerated the pace of training first-class footwear designers.

In July 2007, the China Women's Shoes City International Procurement Committee organized a delegation to Italy, and contacted with the Italy shoemaking technology institute. After efforts, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement. The basic confirmation is that the Chinese women's shoes capital industrial operation center helps the college to dock with Chengdu shoemaking enterprises. The college leaders will participate in the selection of the 2007 China Women's Shoes Capital International Forum and designers, and will also give lectures on shoe design, bringing the world's most advanced design concepts and the most popular trend for Chengdu local designers.

In July 20th, the merchants group arrived at the second stop in Spain.

This trip also signed a cooperation agreement with the relevant Spanish associations on order processing and personnel training.

"The deep interaction with the world's largest shoemaking kingdom will open up the talent training for Chengdu women's shoes industry."

Experts commented.

She learned from the Organizing Committee of the international sourcing Committee of the Chinese women's shoes capital that during the current international procurement Festival, a number of shoemaking divisions will be added to the shoemaking companies that are in urgent need of shoe testing. Through the open selection, the relevant departments will also prepare for the establishment of a professional "shoe tester" company to improve the important link of the footwear industry talent chain in our city.

"We hope that through the open collection, we can find the standard foot type, and add these people to the front line production enterprise as full-time shoe tester."

Organizing committee responsible person said.

It is understood that the selection and test shoes division not only requires a superior temperament, beautiful feet, in the selection, will also be in accordance with international standards for the foot of the players to carry out a series of data analysis, only the most consistent with international standards of feet can be a test shoe division, to complement the work of the enterprise.

"This selection may lead to a large number of people who are our potential test shoes talents."

Peng Jun, chairman of the western shoes capital company, said that the standard foot players who had been selected, apart from being supplemented by the professional shoe trainer, will also cultivate their talent to display their shoes on the stage so that they can become a real model that can match the world-class models.

Besides, the information data of the top 50 candidates will be preserved as a reserve for talents. Besides, competitors will also be able to get access to leather production technology at the leather Department of Sichuan University. These potential talents may become the "resources" for more shoe companies.

"When the conditions are ripe, it can also be drawn up by the shoe companies in Western Sichuan to form a professional" shoe testing company ", and establish the first professional and standardized test shoemaking team in the country to improve the industry chain of footwear industry in our city.

Peng Jun said.

In order to further expand the social influence of this international procurement Festival and to better serve the international customers of the procurement Festival, the procurement organizing committee will recruit foreign language volunteers to the whole society.

According to the organizing committee, Italy, Spain, Cuba, Russia
