On June 8, in a workshop of Tiantan Furniture Co., Ltd. near Xisanqi, Beijing, under the joint witness of Wang Jianguo, executive deputy general manager of Beijing Jinyu Group, and Yu Junsheng, deputy chairman of Beijing Federation of Trade Unions, a moral implies a complete success. The "spherical treasure" was placed in the Luban lock. This move marked the official opening of the second Beijing Vocational Skill Competition for Employees.
It is worth noting that for the first time, the occupational skills competition for employees has included manual woodworking for the first time in the main competition.

Among them, the top three players in the competition finals can all get the trophy and national first-class professional qualification certificate issued by the competition organizing committee.

"This competition is a useful attempt to discover talents in the furniture industry," said Yu Xiusu, vice chairman and secretary general of the Beijing Furniture Industry Association. As the organizer of this competition, Yang Jincai, general manager of Tiantan Furniture Co., Ltd., believes that manual carpentry is the basic skill required for traditional furniture production. This competition will speed up the construction of the furniture industry skills training system and build learning for professionals in the capital furniture industry A platform for skills and communication technologies to guide employees to improve their skills.
Skilled talent shortage
In the past, people relied on carpenter's manual skills to make furniture. A ruler, a saw and a planer can let the carpenter go all over the world. Nowadays, large machines with millions or even tens of millions of yuan, spacious and bright workshops, and one-off workshop lines have become synonymous with furniture manufacturing. Workers have gradually become the supporting role of modern machines, and the manual process is being forgotten.
"For panel furniture, it is indeed highly industrialized, basically relying on machine work, and not many technicians are needed." Yu Xiusu said that in the solid wood and mahogany furniture enterprises with personalized characteristics, manual carpentry is very important. Important status, but the reality is that these furniture companies can not find the talent they need.
In the furniture industry, senior technicians with national first-class vocational qualifications are becoming the "commercial goods" of enterprises. It is reported that on the Sino-Myanmar border, some Chinese furniture companies are unable to find suitable manual carpentry in the country and have hired Filipinos and Burmese. Things are rare, and the market's "craving" for artisanal woodworking has led to a surge in their wages. According to Yang Bo, general manager of Yuanhengli Furniture Company, in recent years, the wages of skilled technicians have risen all the way, from 30 yuan a day to 100 yuan to 300 yuan, up to 400 yuan this year. In some furniture companies that need hand-carving, the monthly salary of a good mechanic can even reach 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
"Whether it is in terms of the number or scale of enterprises, the furniture industry has been developing by leaps and bounds in recent years. However, the number of employees and the skills of employees cannot keep up with the needs of the development of this industry, especially manual carpentry in many companies. There is quite a shortage. If you do not pay attention, there will be a shortage of talents in the future. "Yang Jincai bluntly said that the shortage of talents in the furniture industry has become an obstacle to the development of enterprises.
Talent training seeks breakthrough
Yu Junsheng, vice chairman of the Beijing Federation of Trade Unions who attended the launching ceremony, believed that holding a furniture handicraft contest is of extraordinary significance, which can change the current shortage of skilled workers in the furniture industry and the aging of the talent structure, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of furniture companies. "For employees, this competition is a very good platform for showing strength and skills; for companies, this platform can be used to find better employees and choose better talents for the company."
Why can't the furniture industry find good technical talents? Tian Hong, general manager of Tianmei Furniture, believes that in furniture companies that are now generally implementing semi-automated and automated production, 70% of the labor is replaced by equipment. In addition to mahogany furniture, it needs better engravers, but it does n’t need much manual work. Carpentry. This situation makes many companies pay less attention to technical talents, "as long as they can operate the machine, what is the use of so many skills?"
A more important reason is that today's young people are not too "cold" for technical jobs and do not want to calm down and learn. You have to know that in the past carpenters were brought by masters for many years before they could get out of their teachers. Now such masters are hard to find, and apprentices have no such patience. "In Germany, where the manufacturing industry is very developed, young people are proud to be a good skilled worker. But in China, young people think that there is no good job as a technician." Yu Junsheng said.
Yu Xiusu also believes that the reluctance of various furniture companies to spend costs to train technicians is also a reason for the shortage of skilled workers. "Many companies have spent a lot of time and energy to cultivate skilled personnel, and in a blink of an eye they were poached by other companies with high salaries. This situation does not change, and the problem of talent in the furniture industry is difficult to solve." Yu Xiusu believes that to solve The problem of shortage of skilled workers, in addition to young people to correct the wrong concept of employment, companies should increase the wages of skilled workers, so that technology can show their own value, "if all companies are training skilled workers, you are not afraid of being cornered."
Some companies are beginning to try to cultivate talents in the form of self-run schools. In January 2011, Yuan Henry Furniture Company established Yuan Henry Furniture School in Dacheng County, Hebei Province, in order to prevent the mahogany technicians from being robbed by their peers, and they can be supplemented at any time with support.
