Recently,
the first overseas students successfully finished their training in China, which
is the first large-scale training of overseas human resources in China's bus industry.
Through 38 days' study of theory, following production and practical operation,
the 25 Cuban students have mostly mastered the process flow and quality control
standard and norms, and shall go back to Cuba with the newly-learnt skills to
serve their native bus industry. 
This
training project is included in the sales contract of 5,348 buses between Yutong
Group and Cuba, and in the next few months, another 3 follow-up batches of 75
technicians from the CKD factory in Cuba and 30 for after-sales service shall
come to Yutong to get trained. Cuba's
Satisfaction of the Training Mr.
Pan Hongjian, General Manager Assistant of Yutong International Department, said:"We
make it our principle not only to give fish, but to teach how to fish. And the
Cuban shall find it a worthwhile trip." In
order to guarantee this training, relative personnel were asked by Yutong International
Department to make a detailed training plan for the Cuban customers before it
began, which was amended and perfected many times, so details in different aspects
were concluded with the duties defined, plans worked out and rewards and punishment
measures made. During the process of implementing the plan, new problems arising
from the work were found timely in Yutong's regular weekly meeting, and the corresponding
adjustment of the training content was made to meet the demands of Cuba. Meanwhile,
each student was given a detailed training file, assessment and achievement with
the check tool of human resources. Mr.
Elgu, the leader of the Cuban students this time, highly praised this training:
"The training plan is greatly detailed and in place so that many problems
in the training were programmed and the whole structure was particularly complete.
Most importantly, we find many operation contents practical, which is what we
really need and pay attention to for our improvement." Profound
Significance of the Training
This training is tailored for the technicians
from the CKD factory and the local after-sales servicemen based on the practical
demand from the Cuban market and the CKD factory in Cuba for the improvement of
their speculative knowledge and practical operation skills for bus assembly and
maintenance. The training of Cuban students was successfully carried out, which
can rapidly improve the manufacturing technology capability of the CKD factory
and the maintenance skills for the final customers, so that the localized bus
product can quickly meet the demands of the traffic operation and the automobile
industry can be promoted in Cuba. This is not only the first large-scale training
of overseas human resources, but also an example of the international development
for China bus industry. This
technology-for-market export mode of Yutong has provided development reference
for China's bus industry. With the increasing opening of WTO, localization has
become one of the strategic targets of Chinese export enterprises. During this
process, the localization of human resources is the one that is most important,
most essential and deepest-going. It's a very good form to have foreign personnel
trained in China for cultural exchanges, and also a good beginning for the further
cooperation in the bus industry between the two countries.
