Xuchang, Henan: Mentorship Program Enhances Young Employees’ Skills in Power Maintenance

Recently, at the autumn inspection site of the 110kV Gucheng Substation, maintenance supervisors from the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company provided skills and safety training to young employees.

The State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company has always attached great importance to nurturing young talent. It has built a multi-dimensional development system, seized every opportunity to enhance professional competence, and made every effort to create a platform for career advancement.

During the autumn inspection, the company implemented a “maintenance + training” model, transforming the work site into a practical classroom. Skilled senior technicians provided one-on-one coaching to young staff, instructing them to memorize equipment parameters, learn equipment operating principles, and master basic procedures. This approach boosted their enthusiasm for technical skill development, helped standardize their operating procedures, and rapidly enhanced their overall competence, thereby achieving a deep integration of on-the-job training and the traditional mentorship system. Furthermore, as part of the scheduled monthly maintenance, the company provided hands-on instruction in filling out work tickets, implementing organizational and technical safety measures, and applying various construction standards. This practical training helped young employees internalize operational norms and effectively bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Looking ahead, the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company will continue leveraging the autumn inspection sites as training grounds. This initiative challenges young employees to continually surpass their limits through practical experience, allowing them to demonstrate capability and accountability across various tasks. It aims to achieve the dual goal of corporate growth and personal development, ensuring a steady stream of emerging talent for the company’s sustainable progress.
