Since the launch of the competition in July 2022, various provinces have actively carried out selection competitions, online military training, and practical training. Nearly 7000 employees participated in provincial selection, driving over 400000 employees to participate. So far in the final stage, a total of 32 representative teams and 264 athletes from various provinces and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have participated in the final, which can be said to have gathered top experts and industry elites in the field of digital technology skills from across the country. The competition not only showcases the latest achievements in the field of digital application among these "digital craftsmen", but also builds a platform for technical workers to improve their digital skills and innovate. During the finals, the competition also innovatively held an online skills competition, encouraging employees across the country to challenge on-site players in real time. This not only added interactive fun, but also created a good atmosphere of "everyone has the opportunity to excel" and catch up.
China is the second largest digital economy in the world. As of 2022, the scale of the digital economy has exceeded 50.2 trillion yuan, accounting for 41.5% of the gross domestic product. However, there is still a significant gap between the cultivation of "digital craftsmen" and the requirements of industrial development, and there are still bottlenecks in the cultivation of digital skilled talents. There is a common problem of focusing on general skills and lacking specialized skills, especially digital skills. We must accelerate the cultivation and cultivation of a large number of highly skilled talents and great country craftsmen who can adapt to the development requirements of the digital economy, and provide talent support for the construction of a digital China and a strong network country.
The holding of this competition is timely, and it will undoubtedly promote the formation of a strong atmosphere for everyone to learn digital technology and master innovative skills in enterprises, inspire industrial workers to aspire to the path of skill development and skill service to the country, and strive to become "digital country craftsmen".
