This approach is complemented by an open competition system to select the best candidates for key research initiatives,fostering an environment that encourages and stimulates creativity within the research team.

In July 2023,ZPMC hosted the third annual "Young Craftsman" Welder Skill Challenge. As a high-skilled talent training center,ZPMC has established a skill assessment facility,a technical training college and a staff academy,which reflects ZPMC's commitment to encouraging learning through competition. In alignment with the mission,the company organizes and participates in various vocational skills competitions every year.
