Recently, the Level‑2 Welding Technician practical skills examination of Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd. was successfully held at the Yuegong Binhai Manufacturing Center. This marked the first training session organized since the company obtained independent qualification to conduct Level‑2 welding technician assessments. The event was jointly initiated by the company’s Office and the “Jiangge” Steel Structure Welding Skills Master Studio, leveraged the online training platform of Shaoxing Municipal Vocational School of Transportation, and received comprehensive oversight and guidance from the Vocational Skills Training Center of the Yuecheng District Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security. A total of 29 eligible frontline welders from across Zhejiang Province took part in the independent assessment.

To ensure the successful implementation of this Level‑2 welder self‑assessment initiative, the company has accorded it the highest priority. The Office and the Skills Master Studio, in alignment with the company’s production and operational characteristics, have adopted an assessment scheme that closely aligns with production task requirements, job‑role expectations, and the practical realities of welding operations. A detailed plan for conducting the talent self‑assessment has also been formulated, and all preparatory work—including exam briefings, review and quality control, test‑item development, and examination‑room setup—has been carried out strictly in accordance with principles of fairness and impartiality, thereby guaranteeing the orderly conduct of the evaluation process. Beginning in early November, after more than a month of theoretical instruction and hands‑on training, the final skills‑level assessment exam has now commenced. The exam comprises two components: a theoretical section and a practical demonstration.

The theoretical exam was held in the temporary canteen of the Binhai Manufacturing Center. Examinees underwent identity verification and were seated with one seat between each person. After the invigilators had announced the examination rules and regulations, the test commenced on time. Each candidate carefully reviewed the questions, answered thoughtfully, and meticulously checked their work, aiming to submit an excellent paper. Meanwhile, the invigilators rigorously enforced examination discipline, maintaining a strict and orderly testing environment, ensuring that the theoretical examination room remained quiet and well‑organized.

The practical skills examination was held in the training room of the Steel Structure Welding Master Workshop and conducted in orderly groups, one batch at a time. Under the instructions of the invigilators, the candidates remained calm and composed, picking up their workpieces, securing them, and proceeding with welding—each step executed with skill and precision. Sparks flew throughout the workshop, accompanied by the rhythmic cadence of welding sounds, as the examinees carefully polished their test pieces with their welding guns, striving to achieve results that would meet their expectations.

Following the completion of the practical examination, the assessment panel—comprised of senior technicians Jiang Ge, Zhang Feng, and Wu Bingyang—entered the rigorous scoring phase under the supervision of the district human resources and social security authorities. In the end, all 28 candidates passed both the theoretical and practical components and, pending a comprehensive evaluation, are expected to be awarded Level‑2 Technician certificates.

Even dripping water can wear away a stone—it is no achievement of a single day. The successful implementation of this self‑initiated Level‑2 vocational skills assessment for welders at Yuegong stems from the company’s sustained, multi‑pronged efforts to cultivate frontline skilled talent. Under the mentorship and guidance of master craftsmen such as Zhang Gaozhang, Jiang Ge, and Zhao Zhengwang, Yuegong now boasts more than 60 senior welders, primarily in Zhejiang Province. This time, 29 top performers were selected to participate in the technician‑level evaluation, enabling our skilled workers to learn by doing and assess their competencies through practice. This approach has not only streamlined the enterprise’s end‑to‑end process for employing, developing, evaluating, and incentivizing skilled personnel but has also strengthened frontline workers’ sense of identity and belonging, while expanding their opportunities for career advancement. Moreover, it holds significant importance for comprehensively elevating the welding expertise across the company, enhancing welding quality, and driving production growth.
