According to the news from the talent market in Dongguan, Dongguan City is currently at least 3,000 senior CNC mold talents. A CNC programming and mold manufacturing technician with professional training experience in UG and PowerMILL often has an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan.


According to reports, with the establishment of Dongguan's manufacturing city, the demand for mold talents is growing. The existing CNC programming and CNC technology talents are far from meeting the needs of Dongguan manufacturing. Mold design, mold development, mold repair, CAM/CNC engineers, CNC programming, CNC machining, etc. have become one of the high-paying positions in the talent market in Dongguan. At various job fairs, mold talents are also one of the few positions in which companies are keen to mark the words “emergency” and “high-paying and hiring”, resulting in the “monthly salary of 6,000 yuan is difficult to hire CNC mechanics”, “annual salary of 160,000 yuan” The phenomenon of not being able to recruit mold technicians.


CNC machining skills are lacking

Dongguan, with more than 15,000 foreign-funded enterprises, accounts for a large proportion of manufacturing-oriented enterprises. In recent years, Dongguan’s total industrial output accounted for more than 80% of manufacturing. The developed manufacturing industry has spawned the development of the Dongguan mold industry. At present, the speed of introducing new technologies by enterprises is very fast. CNC equipment is also an essential equipment for mold manufacturing. The company requires employees to have traditional mold technology and more need for CNC machining skills. Therefore, in recent years, when mold companies purchase CNC equipment in large quantities, they are in urgent need of a large number of technicians who design molds, CNC programming, CNC machine tools and maintenance. However, such talent pools in the talent market are not large, and it is more difficult for companies to find suitable talents in the talent market.


Mold talent salary rise

Because many companies are difficult to recruit highly skilled senior technicians, the salary of these talents has a rising trend. For example, the professional mold design talents generally have a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and the numerical control processing talents have a monthly salary of about 3,500 yuan. They are familiar with the entire operation process of operation, processing and styling. The monthly salary of the operator is more than 5,000 yuan, and it is not uncommon for the talents with better skills to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.


Talent "wild" activation professional training

It is understood that as the demand for professional talents continues to rise, the mold industry has begun to be widely recognized by job seekers, and the number of people who are interested in this work has gradually increased. Some training institutions have specially set up courses in numerical control programming. However, currently The incumbents of CNC programming and mold design are still unable to meet the needs in numerical control or other aspects.

At present, many companies require that the talents applying for these positions must have good operational skills, and most enterprises also require employees to have certain experience in the industry. Therefore, many of the trainees who participated in the training were engaged in mold making for many years. In order to avoid being eliminated by advanced technology, they also raised wages. About 40% of them are job seekers who learn to change jobs or improve their work success rate.
