Science and technology are the primary productive force, and talents are the primary resource. Guangdong Oolai High-tech Materials Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as "Oolai New Materials"), the first company in our city to be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, can achieve a spiral rise and cannot be separated from the word "talent". Over the past 15 years, Omat Advanced Materials's target products have broken foreign monopolies and created better benefits for the company through the active efforts of talents from all walks of life. Oolai New Materials, which is well versed in "mutual forces", is recruiting and cultivating more talents across the country with the help of the "Million Talents Gathering in South Guangdong" action plan. The Oolai New Materials Mingyue Lake Industrial Park project planned to start construction within this year will provide a carrier for Oolai New Materials's future 100 doctoral talent introduction plan and create an advanced materials industry talent ecosystem.
Industrial diversity and ecological beauty
Policy dividends help take root
"From an industrial perspective, Shaoguan's industrial structure is rich and diverse and has great potential，There are traditional advantageous industries such as steel mining, as well as emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, electronic information, advanced materials, and low-altitude economy that are booming. These industries can match the career pursuits of graduates from different majors. In the advanced materials industry, Shaoguan has a good industrial foundation and is vigorously promoting the innovative development of the new materials industry, which provides college graduates with broad employment and development space." Against the background of the "Million Talents Gathering in South Guangdong" action plan, Wen Hongfu, chairman of Omat Advanced Materials (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. High-tech Materials Co., Ltd., believes that Shaoguan has many outstanding advantages in attracting recent college graduates.
In terms of cost of living, compared with developed areas such as the Pearl River Delta, Shaoguan's cost of living is lower, and it has great advantages in terms of rent, prices or daily expenses. This allows graduates to have a more comfortable life here with relatively less financial pressure, which helps them to take root better. At the same time, Shaoguan has a superior ecological environment, high forest coverage, and excellent air quality, making it a livable city. The beautiful natural environment allows graduates to enjoy a comfortable life and relieve work pressure while busy work. This livable attribute is very attractive to recent college graduates who pay attention to the quality of life.
"Relevant provincial and municipal talent policies have greatly promoted the introduction of young talents by our company. In terms of financial support, the policy provides subsidies for qualified young talents, which greatly reduces the employment cost burden of enterprises and allows us to have more confidence and resources to attract outstanding college graduates." Wen Hongfu cited the company's recruitment of R & D engineers as an example. In the past, it was limited by cost and would have concerns when recruiting. However, with the talent subsidy policy, Ou Lai Xincai can more actively extend olive branches to outstanding talents.
In terms of talent services, the "Danxia Talent Card" implemented by Shaoguan has brought tangible and exclusive benefits to young talents-covering 11 items such as housing, medical care, and education, which comprehensively solves the worries of young talents and enables them to Working and living in Shaoguan more peace of mind greatly enhances the company's appeal to young talents.
Excellent professional matching platform
Double harvests suitable for living and working
Through the "Millions of Talents Gathering in South Guangdong" action plan, Chen Tian, a doctoral candidate majoring in new energy materials and devices at Central South University, will join Oolai New Materials in 2025 and is currently the deputy director of the company's thin film center.
"As a recent graduate, I chose to join a company in Shaoguan for three main reasons. first，Shaoguan is a city with potential, and the new materials and new energy industries that focus on development match my major. secondly，Ou Lai is a leader in the industry. It attaches importance to innovation and talent training and can provide me with an ideal career starting point. last，Shaoguan has a good natural environment and a reasonable cost of living, which allows me to enjoy a higher quality of life while working hard for my career." Chen Tian believes that Shaoguan's unique advantages, coupled with the strong support of the province's "millions of talents gathering in South Guangdong" policy, constitute a very rational and sustainable choice. Especially for graduates like her who hope to grow rapidly, take into account the quality of life, and seek long-term development, this combination is far more attractive than "rolling" in the high-pressure competition in the Pearl River Delta.
Real scene in the workshop.
After working and living in Shaoguan for a period of time, what moved Chen Tian most was that this city supports the determined growth of young talents with the calm heritage of ancient Danxia. This symbiotic relationship is by no means a unilateral contribution: "When you are working for It contributes its talents, it has already paved the way for you to develop.”Occupationally, Oolai Xincai relies on its mature postdoctoral joint training experience to provide Chen Tian with a complete scientific research platform and professional team support, allowing her to quickly integrate into and put into work; in life, free accommodation and canteen have completely solved the problem of renting and eating. Even the sore legs after conquering the Nine-nine Stairs of Danxia Mountain, which made Chen Tian afraid of heights, became an interesting mark of her integration into this vibrant city.
Innovation vitality and momentum
Jointly build a new highland for materials
"Newly recruited college graduates have injected a steady stream of fresh vitality into our company. In terms of professional knowledge reserves, they have brought the latest industry theory and technical knowledge. For example, during the target research and development process, some graduates have proposed new design ideas based on cutting-edge material science theories, providing a new direction for product innovation. In terms of working methods, they are active in thinking and dare to try new methods, which drives the team's innovative atmosphere and makes everyone more motivated to work." Wen Hongfu introduced that Omat Advanced Materials has clear expectations and plans for them to integrate into Shaoguan and take root in Shaoguan.
Olai Xincai arranges tutors to provide one-on-one guidance to new graduates, not only helping them improve their professional skills at work, but also caring about their lives to help them adapt to the pace of work and life in Shaoguan as soon as possible. At the same time, new recruits are encouraged to actively participate in various talent activities in Shaoguan to enhance their understanding and recognition of the city. In the long run, we hope that they can deeply cultivate themselves in their own professional fields, grow into industry backbones, contribute to the development and growth of the company, and then promote the high-quality development of Shaoguan's advanced materials industry.
As a professional in new energy materials and devices, after Chen Tian joins Omat Advanced Materialss, which has a deep foundation in the target field, her development path will closely focus on the company's strategy and personal expertise. "In the future, I will rely on the company's vacuum coating platform and expert resources to focus on overcoming the application bottleneck of targets in the new energy field, promote Omat targets to become the 'China benchmark' of the international new energy industry chain, and help Shaoguan transform from a resource city to a high-end material technology highland.”
