And this process of foreignization of employees will be gradually promoted.

　　"Post-distribution" refers to the practice of one-to-one training in the form of "tutors and disciples" after the trainees are assigned to each team. After the establishment of the mentoring relationship, the masters have provided a clear understanding of the production process of the Ras Al Khair Power Plant by a series of practical guidance trainings that are tailored to the site and have mastered the basic inspection knowledge and some employees have achieved independent post qualification. After nearly a half year of training and learning, from the initial language barriers to the current smooth communication, the trainees gradually recognized the management model of the O&M team. The first group of 16 Indian and Pakistani employees gradually incorporated in all aspects of work and life with O&M team.

　　Irfan is a foreign employee from Pakistan. He is very good at work and is very sedate yet full of enthusiasm. After the master led him to inspect, he was always seen to search the system with drawings by himself and asked the teachers to inquire some technical questions. Admission to study for five months, Iran often found out the equipment defects in the process of inspecting with his earnest and practical spirit. He received the affirmation of the main duty and shift supervisor and commendation from the team repeatedly. In this first post evaluation of the foreign employees, Irfan obtained the independent post qualification with the best scores.

　　There are altogether 16 foreign employees gained the independent post qualification from this evaluation and entered posts as required, which in fact marks a progress achievement by the project in recruiting foreign employees.
