Packaging Engineering Professional Competition and Capability (I)

China's universities and colleges have set up packaging engineering for sixteen or seven years. In this short period of more than 10 years, the professional construction of packaging engineering has developed rapidly, basically forming a systematic, relatively independent professional and disciplinary system, and has delivered a large number of specialized talents for the country’s economic construction, and has promoted the development of packaging in China. It is very important. However, we should see that with the changes in the relationship between supply and demand of domestic talents, the intensifying competition for graduates has become increasingly fierce, and the training of packaging engineering professionals has also been seriously challenged. Graduation students have encountered difficulties in their employment.
This article discusses personal views on the current situation of professional packaging engineering in order to seek common development, professional training, and strengthening the ability of graduation students to work.
I. Supply and Demand Situation and Characteristics of Packaging Engineering Professionals The supply and demand situation of packaging engineering professionals can be illustrated by the following table.
Packaging Engineering Professional Competitiveness Requirement Type of Unit Needed Talent Type Major Competition Professional Paper Container Production Enterprise Structural Design and Decoration Design Container Processing Technology Experiment, Testing Printing Technology Production Technology Management Packaging Engineering Professional Printing Professional Art and Crafts Professional Decoration Design Professional Papermaking Professional Enterprise Management Professional Plastic Container Manufacturer New Material Division Research, Development Modeling, Structure and Decoration Design Plastic Molding Process Experiment, Testing Mold Design & Production, Technical Management Polymer Material Professional Plastic Process Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Industrial Design Professional Machinery Design & Manufacturing Professional Enterprise Management Professional Metal Container Manufacturers Structural Design & Decoration Design Container Processing Technology Experiment & Testing Printing Iron Technology Mould Design & Production, Technical Management Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Decoration Design Professional Printing Professional Enterprise Management Professional Glass (Ceramic) Container Manufacturers Modeling, Structural Design Container Processing Technology Experiments, Testing and Production, Technical Management Silicate Professional Ceramic Art Design Professional Industrial Design Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Management Professional Packaging Machinery Manufacturer Packaging Machinery Development Design Packaging Machinery Processing Manufacturing Technology Testing Testing Equipment Design Production Technology Management Machinery Design & Manufacturing Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Industrial Design Professional Enterprise Management Professional Packaging & Printing Enterprise Paper Packaging Structure & Decoration Design Printing Process Production Technical Management Packaging Engineering Professional Decoration Design Professional Printing Professional Packaging Research, Design and Testing Organization Packaging Materials Research, Development Packaging Design Packaging and Materials Testing, Testing and Research Services Adaptation Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Interior Design Professional Industrial Design Professional Packaging Operations or Management Packaging Business & Management Packaging Inspection & Standardization Packaging Engineering Professional Business Management & Marketing Professional Other Industry & Corporate Product Packaging Design & Management Product Modeling Design Corporate Image Planning & Design Industrial Design Professional Packaging Engineering Professional Planning Professional Listed Competitiveness & Talent According to the actual situation of the market, compared with other professions, the in-service competition for graduate students of packaging engineering has the characteristics of more competition, less demand, and less packaging and design socialization.
1. Competing Professionals The multipackaging industry is composed of a variety of industrial categories. Each category involves a variety of technologies or business content. The required talents must form a variety of professional competition. Especially in the case of oversupply of talents in many industries, the intensification of various professional competitions is inevitable. The professional counterpart to each station category is always in a dominant position and has a strong competitive advantage in employment.
E.g:
Most of the glass (ceramic) packaging companies require graduate students from silicates and related art design disciplines. Although glass (ceramic) packaging is an important category of packaging, but graduates of packaging engineering can enter these companies work very little, completely in a competitive disadvantage.
Similarly, for packaging machinery development, production companies, plastic material development and container manufacturing companies, metal container manufacturers and packaging and printing companies, etc., their professional counterparts in mechanical design, manufacturing for the public, high-end materials and their molding, pressure processing and printing And so on, compared with the packaging engineering profession, all have a strong competitive advantage in employment.
