Employee Training
The Company attaches great importance to employee training, focusing on transforming mindsets, enhancing capabilities, creating value, and energising employees. We actively provide role-specific training and on-the-job skill enhancement training programs, while also digitalizing more training courses, to continuously improve employees' overall quality and professional skills, to drive both employee and business growth through positive interaction. To strengthen the top-level design of training programs, the Company formulated and implemented the Implementation Opinions on Further Strengthening Education and Training in alignment with its development strategy. The Company assigns a business mentor and a career development mentor to each new employee and establishes a regular tracking and training mechanism. In collaboration with renowned universities and industry institutions, we offer diverse learning channels such as capacity-building training, visits to enterprises, and international symposiums. The Company has developed a variety of training categories for all its employees, including leadership development, application of new technologies, proficiency improvement, cultural education, digital transformation, and pre-retirement guidance etc.Throughout the year, we invested RMB 1.91 billion in training, delivering more than 88,800 programmes of different types and levels, with over 2.72 million participants, achieving 100% training coverage for all employees and fully meeting their development needs.. We have extensively carried out job qualification certification training, covering all employees of the Company. At the same time, we encourage employees to actively participate in job certification training and provide relevant learning expenses. We have also improved and perfected the linkage mechanism between "on-the-job certification, on-the-job empowerment, and promotion and attainment" training and talent selection, cultivation, management and utilization.
Unimpeded Career Development Paths
We attach great importance to the career planning of our employees and strive to expand their career paths to help them realise their full potential. We have developed a democratic, open, competitive and merit-based selection process, along with an improved talent development mechanism. Our goal is to create a positive environment where all kinds of talents can stand out, and every individual can fully utilise their abilities.
We continue to strengthen talent development and refine our talent cultivation system. We have established a three-tier, nine-level career pathway for operational staff, ranging from junior workers to corporate skill masters, as well as a three-tier, nine-level career progression system for technical staff to inspire innovation and creativity. In line with the organisation hierarchy, we also set up an eleven-level management position structure. Promotions are achieved through internal recommendations and selections, competitive recruitment, and open recruitment. In addition, the Company has established a management reserve team and strategic reserve team mechanism to ensure the continuity of core leadership positions.
A Fair and People-Centred Transition
In the process of green and low-carbon transformation, the Company actively recruits top external talents, while also placing a strong emphasis on training existing employees in new energy businesses. In doing so, the Company embarks on the path of green and low carbon development alongside the talents in green technology that it nurtures and develops, striving for a fair and people-centred transition.
We have established a customised training program. Under this program, we select outstanding talents for further training and studying at colleges and enterprises. We also facilitate the transfer of key professional employees from core fields such as exploration and development to emerging sectors such as wind, electricity, PV, hydrogen and AI. We are also training a pool of technical experts for key positions in clean alternative energy sectors such as electricity and hydrogen, while accelerating the nurturing of high-level talents capable of meeting the energy transition needs of the Company.
To address the challenges of energy transition, we continued to strengthen employee training in the new energy sector, helping them improve their expertise and skills to better adapt to energy transition trends. Senior management personnel were selected to engage in learning exchanges at leading domestic and international enterprises known for their advanced energy technology and green and low-carbon transitions. Mid-level and senior management, along with experts, were sent to renowned universities such as Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and China University of Petroleum-Beijing for further education. In addition, we launched key programs, such as academic training courses for mid-level and senior experts, as well as refresher courses for key technical personnel. These programs aim to enhance their research and innovation capabilities and scientific research quality to adapt to the development of new energies and new businesses. A total of 354 participants have been trained. Moreover, we arranged for key technical experts to participate in key technical training programmes, such as the Comprehensive Quality Improvement Training Course for Young Science and Technology Talents in Oil and Gas Exploration, the New Energy Development and Utilisation Training Course for Technicians, and the Synergistic Management Improvement Training Course for "Source, Grid, Load, and Storage" Coordination in New Energy, training 248 participants in total. Furthermore, we organised ten technical seminars on topics such as "Key Technological Progress and Application Challenges in Green Hydrogen Production" and "The Global Energy Transition Landscape and China's Energy Transition Trends", further improving their ability to solve technical problems in production.
