Since entering China in 1985, Sandvik Coromant has achieved rapid development in China in the past 24 years and has maintained a leading position in the Chinese tool market. While steadily expanding the market, Sandvik Coromant's team is also growing rapidly. In 2008, more than 70 outstanding talents joined the company. "Knowledge, the past has always been, and will always be the cornerstone of our success. Having the courageous and enterprising staff, coupled with the most professional training, will enable us to live forever." Mr. Li Yushan said here, deeply touched. He said: "Talent is crucial to the development of the company. It is not only reflected in the number of talents, but also in the quality of talents. The purpose of our establishment of Sandvik Coromant College is to improve the professional skills of employees and Business capabilities, which enable them to better serve their customers. This will also provide a solid human guarantee for our long-term development in China."
Engineers in yellow coats have always been a very typical and outstanding brand image of Sandvik Coromant. According to Mr. Li Yushan, Sandvik Coromant has strict requirements for wearing the iconic yellow jacket: only engineers who have been properly trained and certified by the company are qualified to wear yellow jackets to visit and serve customers. This also reflects Sandvik Coromant's commitment to its customers. I believe that with the establishment and development of Sandvik Coromant College, we will see more certified Sandvik Coromant engineers in a yellow jacket active in the customer's workshop to create greater value for customers.
At present, nearly 80% of the world's Fortune 500 companies own or are creating their own “enterprise universities”. Companies such as Motorola, Siemens, and Ericsson first brought the new concept of “enterprise university” to China. A series of practices have proved that corporate universities are an effective means of establishing a "learning" organization, an important component of the human resources training system, and a strong proof of the company's strength. This time, the establishment of Sandvik Coromant College has introduced the concept of “Enterprise University” into China's metal processing field, which will not only greatly promote the development of Sandvik Coromant in China, but also It has brought new ideas to the cultivation of talents in the Chinese metal processing industry.
