On August 4, the 2026 “Passing on the Legacy and Inspiring the Future” Mentorship Pairing Ceremony of CAS Hefei Coal Gasification Technology Co., Ltd. (ZHGAS) was successfully held. The Beijing Branch simultaneously carried out its own ceremony. With coordinated efforts from various subsidiaries, Xinjiang CAS Energy promoted the accumulation and inheritance of technical experience at the frontline through the “master-apprentice” model, while Tianjin ZHGAS Trading relied on its “management trainee” system to precisely cultivate young talents. This ceremony represents an important initiative for the Company to further enhance its mentorship-based talent development mechanism and strengthen the construction of its talent pipeline.

At the ceremony, Mr. Yang Shaojun, Deputy General Manager of the Company, delivered a speech and announced the mentorship pairing list for this year. He pointed out that the Company takes “master mentoring apprentices, senior employees supporting junior employees, and experienced employees guiding newcomers” as the core approach, establishing a tiered and categorized mentoring system. Under this system, dual mentors for both work and daily life are assigned to fresh graduates and management trainees, while dedicated technical mentors are provided for emerging technical talents. 

During the training process, the Company focuses on corporate culture integration and fundamental skill development for fresh graduates and management trainees, helping them quickly adapt to their positions. For emerging talents, the focus is placed on deepening professional capabilities and enhancing their ability to tackle complex tasks, supporting employees in achieving career growth and role advancement, while ensuring the long-term and sustainable development of the Company’s talent team. He emphasized that the mentorship pairing program is not only about the transfer of professional skills, but also about the inheritance of corporate culture, craftsmanship, and the spirit of excellence.

At the ceremony, Mrs. Bao Minghong, representative of the mentors, Mr. Xia Aojie, representative of emerging talents, and Ms. Zhang Xiaojing, representative of fresh graduates, delivered speeches in sequence. From the mentors’ principle of “Practice with Diligence in Action, Thought, and Reflection”, to the emerging talents’ dedication to “focused accumulation and deep engagement in their positions”, and to the fresh graduates’ reflection that “inheritance is not merely a handover, but a process of value creation and enhancement”, each sincere reflection and aspiration vividly demonstrated the vitality and continuity of the Company’s talent development mechanism.

Since the formal launch of the Mentorship Pairing Mechanism in 2023, its evolution into a dual-track model of “mentor-apprentice inheritance + young talent development” in 2025, and its further enhancement in 2026 into a comprehensive talent cultivation system integrating “mentor-apprentice guidance + emerging talent development + management trainee programs”, the mechanism has undergone four years of continuous optimization and improvement. It has evolved from a single onboarding guidance program for new employees into a comprehensive talent development ecosystem covering the entire employee growth cycle. Mentor guidance extends far beyond the pairing ceremony itself. It runs throughout the entire process of project challenges, technological research and development, and personal growth reviews, continuously cultivating employees’ core capabilities in proactive learning, problem-solving, and career development. The program helps employees establish a comprehensive knowledge framework and professional competencies, laying a solid foundation for the Company to build a high-quality, professional, and young talent pipeline.

Going forward, ZHGAS will continue to deepen the “Mentorship Pairing” talent development mechanism and firmly implement its talent-driven enterprise strategy. The Company will enable every young employee to establish a solid foundation through targeted mentoring and grow through practical experience, gradually developing them into key forces that drive the Company’s sustained high-quality development.
