In order to deeply implement the strategy of “Strengthening Enterprises with Talents” and help new employees take the first step in the workplace, COSCO SHIPPING Development has recently carried out the exchange and training activities for the 2024 Group's management trainees and new employees, and guided the new employees to establish their initial intention of joining the company and deeply understand the company's culture, building the foundation of personal growth and corporate development.

Meeting and Exchange Session for Group's Management Trainees

As the first step to enter COSCO SHIPPING Development, the company held a meeting and exchange session for the 2024 Group Management Trainees. Mr. Zhang Mingwen, Chairman, Secretary of Party Committee and General Manager of COSCO SHIPPING Development, attended the meeting and expressed a warm welcome on behalf of the Company to the management trainees and answered their concerns patiently, emphasizing that “they should continue to learn, accumulate experience, establish the concept of integrity, and tie up the first button of their lives”. He encouraged the management trainees to be young talents with courage to take responsibility and make contribution. The mentors of the management trainees made an in-depth introduction of each business segment, providing clear guidelines for the management trainees' future growth. The management trainees were enthusiastic and introduced themselves one by one, and actively communicated and interacted with the mentors at the meeting.

In order to further promote new employees' in-depth understanding of the company's business and rapid integration into the corporate culture, the company carried out a series of onboarding training for 2024 management trainees and new employees from October 17 to November 1 through centralized training and practical visits.

Centralized Training Stage

During the two-day centralized training, 10 internal trainers of the company made a comprehensive and systematic introduction around corporate culture, corporate strategy, business development, professional knowledge, clean practice, safety and compliance, etc., and configured the training and assessment mechanism with high standards and strict requirements. At the same time, the company organized new employees to visit China COSCO SHIPPING's corporate culture showroom to actively convey the group's vision and corporate culture. The centralized training aimed to deepen new employees' understanding and knowledge of business, enhance compliance awareness, and improve their sense of job responsibility and work efficiency by mastering the content of the training on what they should know and be able to do. The 2024 class of the Group's management trainees, and the new employees of the headquarters of COSCO SHIPPING Development and its affiliated entities totaled more than 40 people, who participated in the training in on-site or on-line form.

Practical Visit Stage

After completing the centralized training, the new employees went to Ningbo Container Factory, a subsidiary of Shanghai Universal, for a three-day practical visit, in-depth study of the excellent culture, safety production standards and production process of the container factory, and through the field visit to the factory and port, they had a visual experience of the actual scene of business operations. In addition, the new employees also participated in the signing ceremony of the cooperation between the Ningbo Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Ningbo Container Factory on industry-academia-research and party building, which witnessed the important moment of school-enterprise cooperation, and also drew a successful conclusion for this training.

Adhering to the core concept of people-oriented and talent-strengthened enterprise, COSCO SHIPPING Development focuses on building an internationalized and specialized talent team to provide solid talent support for the steady development of the enterprise. This exchange and training activity has effectively improved the comprehensive quality and business ability of new employees, and injected strong impetus for deepening the strategic development of the company. The company will further increase the cultivation and care for new employees with rich learning resources and a broad growth stage, and work hand in hand with its employees to draw a brilliant blueprint for sustainable development.
