Aurora Chemical | The 2026 Management Trainee Boot Camp Concludes Successfully: Setting Out Toward the Light, Building Dreams Anew

Youth meets its moment of endeavor; dreams set sail for a new chapter. Recently, the 2026 Management Trainee Boot Camp of Aurora Chemical came to a successful conclusion. A group of energetic and enterprising young newcomers, having completed two months of systematic training and frontline immersion, made a smooth transition from campus to the workplace. With the results of their phased learning and a spirited outlook, they delivered their first answer sheet since joining the Company — injecting fresh momentum into the Company's talent pipeline and radiating the vitality of young people in the new era.

Gathering Strength for the Voyage: Deepening Empowerment through Instruction, Building a Solid Foundation for Growth

On July 1, the 2026 Management Trainee Boot Camp of Aurora Chemical was officially launched. Guided by a long-term talent strategy, the Company established a systematic and multi-dimensional development framework for new employees. Dedicated training programs were delivered across key dimensions — including workplace role transformation, advanced logical thinking, the Company's business and management systems, financial compliance and control, and product and industry knowledge — helping trainees rapidly consolidate their professional foundations, reshape their career mindset, and complete the transformation from campus students into professionals. In parallel, the Company supported the all-round development of young talent through diversified quality-building programs. Through distinctive activities such as outdoor team-building, "Face-to-Face with Seniors" exchanges, and themed debate competitions, the Company comprehensively honed the trainees' integrated capabilities in teamwork, communication and coordination, and innovative and critical thinking.

Integrating Knowledge and Action: Learning through Practice, Exploring the Full Scope of the Business

Starting from July 7, all trainees formally began a progressive job-rotation program, going deep into various departments to work hands-on at the front line and to participate in cross-departmental collaboration. Through coordinated rotations between the Yantai and Heze sites, and in strict alignment with chemical industry compliance standards and the baseline requirements of workplace safety, dedicated training was systematically carried out in areas including safety management, quality control, environmental protection and occupational health, and intrinsic safety, strengthening the newcomers' ability to perform their duties in a standardized and compliant manner. Executive roundtable discussions additionally helped trainees grasp the Company's strategic direction and deepen their understanding of the industry. Through a multi-dimensional development model of "theory + hands-on practice + review and reflection," the trainees gradually built systematic business thinking and clearly defined their individual career paths, laying a solid foundation for subsequent job placement and for their contribution to the Company's development.

Closing with Distinction: Defenses Showcase Achievements, Moving Steadily toward a New Journey

Following the rotation program, trainees in Heze and Yantai completed their rotation defense presentations in turn. During the defenses, the trainees — drawing on the outcomes of their classroom training — reviewed what they had gained from rotation practice, objectively analyzed their own strengths and shortcomings, and, with a focus on their subsequent career development plans, presented the improvements in capability and cognition brought about by the training and rotations. Their presentations reflected a down-to-earth, diligent and enterprising work ethic, and affirmed their commitment to taking root in their positions and growing together with the Company.
The panel of judges conducted a comprehensive assessment across multiple dimensions, including professional skills, logical thinking, and professional conduct, and offered guidance and suggestions, evaluating the trainees' current work performance and growth. Mr. Chen expressed high expectations for the trainees' development, emphasizing that trainees should develop an in-depth understanding of the Company's organizational structure, management systems and business processes, appreciate the essence of the corporate culture, and build a solid foundation for their career development; they should continuously renew their understanding, establish systematic management thinking, proactively overcome growth bottlenecks, and drive the efficient improvement of their own capabilities.

Talent pipeline development is the core engine and strategic pillar of a company's high-quality development. In the future, Aurora Chemical will continue to deepen its commitment to management trainee development, iterate and optimize its training model, and refine a full-cycle talent development system — precisely empowering trainees to take root in their positions, devote themselves to study and research, and grow into capable professionals quickly. This will help them become key backbones supporting the Company's long-term development, driving the Company's sustainable growth with the fresh momentum of young talent, and jointly embarking on a new journey of high-quality development!
