上周，为期两天的GREE COOLMAN空调技术人员集训项目在倬亿国际集团尼日利亚拉各斯总部成功落下帷幕。

Last week, the GREE COOLMAN Initiative completed a two-day training program for air conditioning technicians at the Lagos headquarters of the Choice International Group (CIG).

倬亿国际集团“GREE COOLMAN倡议”发起于新冠肺炎疫情爆发之初的2020年。其目的是通过在尼日利亚全国范围内集中培训空调技能相关从业人员的方式，以增强空调行业从业人员的专业能力、提高空调行业相关的技术标准，提升技术从业者的生活水平为基本主旨，积极践行中国企业海外社会责任和人道主义关怀而推出的战略性人力资源项目。该项目为参与者提供了全套的安装、维修和其他售后服务技能培训。今后计划每两个月为一期，扩大培训规模，每年为尼国输送1万人规模的空调专业技术人员。

The GREE COOLMAN Initiative commenced in the year 2020 amidst the global economic lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a strategical human resource program that aims at achieving productive objectives regarding the humanitarian and social responsibility of overseas Chinese private sectors through training of interested skilled and unskilled technicians all over the country (Nigeria), to enhance professional skills, to promote technical standards of the air conditioning industry, and to improve the living standards of technical practitioners within the industry. This program provides participants with full training in-class installation, maintenance, and after-sales service skills. Afterwards, the GREE COOLMAN Initiative will offer a training workshop every two months and cultivates 10,000 air-conditioner technicians annually.

“格力空调”作为全球领先的中国品牌，近年来在尼日利亚国家市场上推出了一系列升级、有趣的新产品后，管理层一致认为“GREE COOLMAN”是倬亿国际集团全面建设提升售后服务体系的标志性项目，促进了品牌和行业整合，为参与者提供了技能获取、资格认证和就业机会等诸多实际利益。

As GREE, the world’s leading cooling and air conditioner brand introduced into the Nigerian market, in addition to the frequent launch of new products with an array of upgraded and interesting features, the management deemed it fit to thoroughly boost after-sales service, as well as to promote brand and industry integration with the introduction of the GREE COOLMAN Initiative.

此外，在本次公开集训活动上，一些新科技、新功能、新外观、新设计（如：G-tech变频空调机组、WiFi连接、现代智能家居操作系统等），也首次向大众展出。内外兼并的独特内涵，向尼国消费者展示出属于我们工业美学。

Some of the new technology, new function and new design on show include the G-tech inverter air conditioning unit, interoperability with modern smart home systems through Wi-Fi accessibility, which combines superior performance as well as aesthetically pleasing in its look and feels.

>> 技能教培  机构先行 <<

研究与实践表明，职业技术教育与培训在发展劳动力资源市场和促进国家发展方面有显著的积极作用。在西非的尼日利亚，过去几年因基础设施缺乏、学校课程变化跟不上劳动力市场发展的需要、同雇佣者之间缺乏沟通等诸多复杂因素叠加的影响下，尼国现阶段的职业技术教育与培训，无论在技能知识开发、能力培养和态度方面呈现严重的下坡趋势，在非洲乃至全球竞争中没用充分利用好自身庞大的人口基数（约2亿）和劳动力充沛的（约6224.3万）资源禀赋条件。

Vocational and technical education and training can indeed play a significant positive role in developing the labour market and promoting national development. In Nigeria, current vocational education has shown a serious downward trend in terms of the inconsistency between the school curriculum and the needs of labour market development, lack of communication with employers and poor infrastructure conditions etc. Nigeria has failed to take full advantage of its human resource endowment regarding its giant population base (about 200 million) and abundant labour resources (about 62.243 million) in African and global competition.

同时，尼日利亚是非洲第一人口大国，第一大经济体，更是中国在非洲第一大工程承包市场、第一大出口市场、第二大贸易伙伴和主要投资目的国。近年来，在中尼两国积极共建“一带一路”、“中非合作论坛”的时代背景下，中尼关系进入高速发展的时代快车道。如“丝路学院”、“大禹学院”、“鲁班工坊”等形式的办学项目不断落地，“国家助力，机构先行”增添了中非技能人才培养的新动力、新成果、新亮点。

Meanwhile, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, China’s largest project contracting market, export market, trading partner and major investment destination in Africa. In the context of the Belt Road Initiative (BRI) and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), many vocational school-running projects continue to be implemented such as the ‘Silk Road School’, ‘Dayu School’ and ‘Luban Workshop’. The ‘State-directed’ projects are the mainstream which added new impetus and new highlights to the training of skilled personnel in the China-Africa Cooperation.

>> 功以才成  业由才广 <<

作为早年出海深耕尼日利亚的中国民营企业，在本地化经营过程中如何有效解决“招工难”、“用工难”、“无工用”，如何进行高效的劳动力匹配等问题，是倬亿国际集团乃至在非中资民营企业一直以来的痛点。在缺少良好的职业技能和工作标准化基础的尼日利亚，现实条件使得我们必须充分挖掘和发挥企业外部人力资源的服务与开发。

As a Chinese private enterprise that went to Nigeria in the early years, 1) how to effectively solve the problems and difficulties in recruitment, and 2) how to efficiently match the labour force in the process of localization operation are the pain points for CIG. In Nigeria, where there is a lack of good professional skills and work standardization, the realistic conditions make us have to fully explore and develop external human resources.

深耕厚植、因地制宜、授人以渔。在注重品牌和行业整合的同时，倬亿国际集团“GREE COOLMAN倡议”将作为尼日利亚空调行业的技术驿站，持续构筑对非技能人才培养的新路径、新举措、新通道。

GREE COOLMAN Initiative will serve as a technology station for Nigeria’s air conditioning industry, continuously building new paths, new measures and new channels for vocational and skill training in the future.
