How to alleviate the shortage of LED lighting talent

At present, China's high-efficiency, high-reliability LED raw materials are almost all dependent on imports, and the core technology of high-grade epitaxial wafer production processes is controlled by people. In particular, upstream chip patent technologies are mostly controlled by foreign large manufacturers such as Japan and the United States. With the rise of LED patent war smoke, domestic companies are more aware of the importance of talent. However, with the rapid development of the LED industry is incompatible with the current domestic colleges and universities corresponding counterparts in the professional setting has just begun, LED talent can not be temporarily transported by the relevant institutions. If the talent shortage problem cannot be solved, the development of the LED industry will undoubtedly be constrained.

First of all, LED lighting industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and companies have no time to train new talents. With the continuous increase in policy support and government subsidies, the LED industry has seen explosive growth. Although there are many people, there are few people who can be called "talents". A new company that has too late to cultivate talents can only rely on high salaries to “leave a foothold” from other companies. In the final analysis, talent is still the original part of the talent, but only replaced the company and location only.

Second, there is a lack of basic education for LEDs. With the rapid development of the LED industry is incompatible with the current domestic colleges and universities corresponding counterparts professional setting has just begun, LED talent can not be cultivated by the institutions for the time being. There is no basis for talent education in the industry, and the construction of talents in the later period has not been improved. This leads to inherent deficiencies in personnel training, and to the late development of abnormal development. If the shortage of talents cannot be solved, the development of the LED industry will undoubtedly be constrained.

Also, traditional enterprises blindly transitioned and lacked the training system for LED talents. The LED lighting industry is a fast-growing industry with promising market prospects. Many companies have transformed or involved in the LED industry. However, these companies neither know LED, nor do they know where LED customers are, so they have to use the easiest way. Find customer resources and see where to make money and get involved. Such enterprises often do not pay attention to the cultivation of talents, nor do they think that they must make breakthroughs at the technical level. These practices are difficult to fundamentally promote the development of the industry.

Lack of LED industry high-end talent. The overall development of the domestic LED lighting industry lags behind. One of the manifestations is the lack of high-end talent. Now that LED patent warfare has begun, the lack of core technicians has become a bottleneck for the development of various companies.

At the same time, China's high luminous efficiency, high reliability of LED raw materials are almost all dependent on imports, the core technology of high-grade epitaxial chip production process is controlled by people, especially the upstream chip patent technology is mostly controlled by foreign large manufacturers. With the rise of LED patent war smoke, domestic companies are more aware of the importance of talent. If LED companies want to develop healthily and long-term, they must solve the problem of shortage of talents.

Digging people from their peers is the most direct and effective way to gain talent. However, such an approach is detrimental to the long-term development of the entire industry and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. There are not many talented people in the LED industry. Each company has dug people into a vicious circle. Even though the company has temporarily acquired talents, there is no benefit to breakthrough research in technology.

Looking forward to 2013, due to the localization of numerous technologies (including MOCVD, sapphire equipment, etc.) in the LED upstream, the progress of the entire LED industry will be accelerated, talents will become more scarce, and the domestic LED industry will continue to face the pain of lack of talents. Combining the short-term and long-term goals, the combination of introduction and self-directed training will ease talent hunger in the near future.
