"Gray-collars" in bad need www.chinaview.cn 2004-03-21 15:19:21 BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhuanet) -- China is evolving into a huge manufacturing base for the whole world, and sorely needs trained technicians, dubbed "gray-collar" workers, according to economists. The dearth of "gray collar" workers will become a major disincentive for the further development of manufacturing in China,they believe. In the next few years, enterprises, particularly those in the private sector, should take the responsibility to cultivate gray-collar workers, combined with an on-going government-supported training program, they suggest. The gray-collar workers should have good education, be innovative, with professional skills, according to Zheng Huiqiang,vice president of the Shanghai Applied Technology College. With skills that are rare resources for enterprises, senior technicians at some large foreign-invested companies get salaries higher than those for corporate managers. news.xinhuanet.com
