At present, the proportion of Egyptian employees in the TEDA Cooperation Zone as a whole has reached 91.3%. This comprehensive platform, which emphasizes cross-border cooperation, has pushed the localization of human resources to a new height on the road of multiple localizations: some enterprises in the park have local employees accounting for more than 98%.

Promotion has no ceiling

Workshop supervisor, department manager, general manager assistant, deputy general manager, CFO, CEO... In the TEDA Cooperation Zone, from the middle to the top, many important positions have been taken up by local Egyptians.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the district, TEDA proposed that to completely realize the localization of social relations, localization of marketing channels, localization of management models and localization of corporate culture, the key is the localization of human resources. Only when the localization process of Egypt TEDA is realized in all links including the localization of human resources, will the cooperation zone achieve real success. The management of TEDA regards the success of localization as the prerequisite for the success of the cooperation zone. In fact, this premise has already been established. The proportion of Jushi’s local employees in Egypt is as high as 98%, and the proportion of middle management positions is as high as 76%. Wu Ping, general manager of Jushi Egypt Company, an enterprise in the park, introduced that the company pays attention to cultivating outstanding technical talents in Egypt, especially middle-level employees. Ordinary employee Hussein is one of the many beneficiaries of this localization: Master Hao from China We are very touched by all the knowledge and skills imparted to us without reservation. Although I have not worked for a long time, I have learned a lot and I am full of confidence in my future.

Nahala, who joined the training program in 2012 as the director of the investment promotion department, has now grown into the CEO of Egypt TEDA Special Zone Development Company. Wei Jianqing, deputy general manager of China-Africa TEDA, said that Nahala, a female college student who had just graduated, entered TEDA because of her unique insight.

At a graduation ceremony for reserve cadres, Liu Aimin, chairman of China-Africa TEDA, pointed out: We will continue to enrich the content, improve standards, refine the process, and form a long-term mechanism, and strive to raise the talent team construction and team support to a new level. In his view, localization is not a simple Egyptianization, nor a simple TEDA or Sinicization. Localization is based on the premise of cross-border cooperation, with a cautious and modest attitude, an open and inclusive mind, tenacious exploration and initiative The spirit of innovation draws on the excellent qualities of different ethnic groups and the universal experience and values of human society to create a "TEDA model" that is accepted and recognized by the local society and has a global vision and universality. The core concept of this structure is, Let the TEDA Cooperation Zone seamlessly connect instantly when practicing the basic concepts of openness, inclusiveness and mutual learning along the Belt and Road.
