A new training program in China is encouraging young talent and at the same time ensuring sustainable growth for the company, as suitable service engineers are hard to find. The program teaches basic knowledge, but mastering practical skills is especially important. Four young men worked in production at MAN Energy Solutions in China for around six months before being trained in the field for two years. Under the guidance of an experienced mentor, they also carried out special assignments, such as the 30,000-hour service on an 8L51/60DF engine. After around three years, Li Qinnan, Wang Kunhuan, Lai Songzu and Zhang Haonan successfully completed their training as junior service engineers. “MAN Energy Solutions is the leading diesel engine manufacturer with the best technology, the best engineers and excellent career prospects. That is why I applied for the training program,” says Li ­Qinnan regarding his motivation.
