Qilu Net Lightning News September 29th The “Skills Revitalize Lu” Vocational Skills Competition, the first Shandong Casting Industry Vocational Skills Competition and the 7th National Casting Industry Vocational Skills Competition Shandong Division Trial Tournament opened on September 28 in Pingyin County, Jinan.
172 skilled craftsmen from 19 enterprises from 7 cities in the province competed against each other. Competing for the spot in the 7th National Foundry Industry Vocational Skills Competition, and finally won the honor of “China Foundry Craftsman”. The competition is divided into three projects: casting core workers, smelting casters, and mold workers.
Skills are the foundation of a career. Skilled talents are a precious resource of the country. Skilled talents are especially precious to the foundry industry. Casting has a long history of more than 5,000 years. It is the foundation of great powers. Without casting rockets, ships cannot go to the sky and ships. At the same time, casting is also closely related to the life of each of us. At least 3 castings can be found on each person. (Mobile phone cases, belt buckles, zipper pulls, watch cases, glasses nose pads are all die-casting parts, and even jewelry, etc.). Casting is so important, but skilled talents are extremely scarce. Through competitions, casting craftsmen are selected, showing casting style, creating a good atmosphere of “being glorious in casting” and “being more glorious to be skilled in casting”, inspiring the majority of casting practitioners to take the road of skills and talents, and attracting more young people to love casting and devote themselves to casting.
Skill-based, stronger casting, strong casting means strong equipment, strong equipment means China strong. Just like Shandong, local vocational skills competitions are also vigorously held across the country recently. Craftsmen with outstanding performance will participate in the selection of team members for the national finals held in November. One point to note is: in November, the pre-registered players for the national finals have already More than 400 people, more than 35% of the final venue capacity, so the number of provinces and cities participating in the finals will be further reduced. This determines that the trials in Shandong will be more intense. I look forward to seeing outstanding contestants stand out on the podium in Shandong Province, on the podium of the national competition in November, and on the podium of the “China Foundry Craftsman” in the future, so that China Casting will be even more exciting because of you. .
On September 23, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently announced that the number of enterprises in Shandong Province ranked first in the country. Shandong Province’s current output of more than 100 key industrial products ranks among the top three in the country. In the recent national anti-epidemic and Henan rainstorm rescue, Shandong not only has official rescues, but also donations and rescues from social forces spontaneously organized. Difficulties Shandong are all rushing to the front, low-key and it is the characteristics of Shandong. With all 41 industrial categories under the United Nations Industrial Classification, this is the only province in the country. At the same time, it is also the responsibility of “what you want, what you want, what you lack, and everything can be supported”. The traceability of every industrial classification can be traced back to casting. It can be said that without casting, there would be no modern industry. According to statistics in Shandong Province, there are more than 2500 casting enterprises in production in 2020, with a total output of 13.02 million tons of castings, and a sales income of 90 billion castings, ranking among the top in the country.
