THE six-month Vocational Skills Competition of Jiading District ended in mid-October.
It was the fifth annual staging of the event and drew the participation of 2,958 employees and school students.
Of that number, 1,571 received national vocational qualification certificates even as the competition becomes more intense with every passing year.
Hu Jianlong, a cook from Jianbang School, signed up for the vocational skills competition in May.
"I wanted to test my level of expertise against others in the competition," Hu said.
At first, it was tough. The Chinese cooking category he wanted to enter required the new Junior Chef Qualification Certificate.
The only certificate he held was one he received 14 years ago. After two days' efforts, he managed to secure a valid certificate, only to find out that places for applicants were all taken.
His stubborn persistence finally convinced organizers to give him a place.
On September 15, a dozen of students were training at a workshop in the CNC Training Center at the Shanghai Volkswagen Technical School.
"Every day we started at 8am, and ended at 8pm," said Zhou Qing, one of the students. "Apart from operations, we still need to learn theoretical knowledge."
The first evaluation of the students on September 5 was unsatisfactory, but their proficiency improved significantly in just one week.
"The student's abilities have been greatly increased through targeted training," said Wang Wenqiang, who taught lathe work to the students.
Wang Liqiang, who had surgery to remove polyps from his vocal chords on August 22, turned up at a skills training class four days later to help two mentally handicapped students make silk flowers.
This year, to highlight opportunities for the disabled, the organizer added three new vocational skills to the competition: photography, flower arrangement and silk flower making.
