Cangnan Nuclear Power Completes First Batch of Vocational Skill Level Certification

On August 10, Cangnan Nuclear Power successfully completed its first batch of vocational skill level certification, covering 4 job types that have been filed with the authorities. A total of 15 people passed the assessment, marking a solid step forward for Cangnan Nuclear Power in building its independent evaluation system for skilled personnel. Meticulous Preparation, Laying a Solid Foundation for Certification According to the filed scope, Cangnan Nuclear Power is authorized to conduct vocational skill level certification for 4 job types: assembly fitter, electrician, instrumentation maintenance worker, and radiation protection worker (radiation monitoring and protection worker). To complete the first batch of certification tasks with high quality, Cangnan Nuclear Power strictly adhered to national vocational skill standards and evaluation norms, actively participated in the unified qualification training organized by China General Nuclear Power Group, and assembled a high-quality team of over 90 supervisors, assessors, and examination staff. At the same time, it actively researched the certification practices of other nuclear power units within China General Nuclear Power Group and elsewhere in Zhejiang Province, and sorted out in advance the precautions for each step including registration and selection, examination venue setup, process control, and document archiving, striving to ensure that every step was carefully organized and thoroughly planned. Standardized Implementation, Strictly Controlling Talent Quality The vocational skill level certification assessment comprehensively examined the professional knowledge and practical operation capabilities of the candidates in their respective job fields from both theoretical and practical aspects. The theoretical examination focused on the core knowledge points of each job type, with emphasis on testing employees' mastery of professional theory, safety regulations, and process flows. The practical assessment was closely aligned with the actual job responsibilities, simulating real work scenarios, with experienced assessors scoring on-site to ensure objective, fair, and authoritative evaluation results. The certification process was well-organized and strictly disciplined, fully complying with the relevant management measures of China General Nuclear Power Group on vocational skill level certification. The participating employees were energetic and fully committed, fully demonstrating the solid professional foundation and good professional ethics of Cangnan Nuclear Power's skilled personnel team. Ultimately, a total of 15 participants successfully passed the advanced worker (Level 3) certification assessment. Skill Development, Driving High-Quality Growth Vocational skill level certification is an important means of evaluating skilled personnel, and those who pass the assessment will receive nationally recognized vocational skill level certificates. This is not only a high recognition of employees' individual skill levels, but also broadens their upward career development channels. The successful completion of the first batch of vocational skill level certification is an important milestone in the development of Cangnan Nuclear Power's skilled personnel training system, and has also accumulated valuable experience for the subsequent filing and certification of other job types. With the continuous improvement of supporting resources, Cangnan Nuclear Power will gradually increase the number of filed job types, regularly organize skill level certification at various levels, build skill growth platforms for more frontline employees, and provide solid skilled personnel support for building the "Hualong One" into a dual benchmark for construction and operation.
