A professional skills competition among mentors was held at the KAMAZ PJSC forging plant.
This is the second time the forge plant has held this competition. This year, 17 people decided to test their skills. Vladimir Davydov, the winner of last year's competition and a machine tool and manipulator adjuster with control units from the stamping and tooling department, was invited to participate without any qualifications. "Competition participants are typically experienced individuals who have been mentoring new employees for years. This time, there were more competitors," said Nadezhda Sharavyova, Chief HR Development Specialist.
Participants had to answer 15 questions in the theoretical part. The organizers prepared the test based on the KAMAZ mentoring program. They had half an hour to complete the task, but the mentors completed it in half the time. In the second part, participants watched two clips from the cartoons "Catch a Wave" and "Kung Fu Panda." In the first, the mentor, penguin Zeke, despite making mistakes, tried to teach the main character, Cody, how to properly build a surfboard. The second mentor, Master Shifu, was reluctant to take on the panda, setting him challenges that he failed. Participants had to note all the details on their checklists: for example, whether the training location and time were chosen correctly, and what the mentor could have done that would be helpful for the student. Points were awarded for each completed competition task.
Tatyana Lebedeva, a logistics operator at SHIK, took third place in the competition. Instrumentation and automation fitter Denis Kraisman from the Central Metrology Laboratory took second place. Gleb Aleksanov, an electrician at TsRiOOK-5, won.
The awards were presented to the winners by Igor Malyasev, director of the forge plant, and Pavel Volokhov, chairman of the plant's trade union. All winners will represent their plant at the KAMAZ competition.
