To deepen the understanding of the new employees on the Yichang navigation cause and accelerate the transition from "students" to "navigation personnel", a two-day pre-job training course was held from September 4th to 5th. To ensure the success of this training, the bureau's Party committee and administration attached great importance to it, with bureau leaders serving as training instructors to ensure that new employees receive a good first lesson in the navigation industry.

　　On the afternoon of September 4th, Deputy Director Pan Fan first gave an introduction to the bureau, covering its history, development, and navigation spirit, giving the 12 new employees a preliminary understanding of Yichang navigation. Following this, the new employees watched a promotional video celebrating the bureau's 20th anniversary and other related videos, further deepening their understanding of the history, development, Party building, cultural construction, and spiritual endowment of Yichang navigation and the Yangtze River navigation as a whole.

　　Subsequently, Director Gong Yong held a cordial meeting with the new employees. At the meeting, Director Gong Yong mainly exchanged ideas with the new employees on three aspects: "Always upholding the original aspiration of Yangtze River navigation personnel, bravely shouldering the mission of navigation personnel, and continuously inheriting the style of navigation personnel." He also hoped that everyone would focus on cultivating innovative spirit, live up to the times, live up to their youth, and contribute to the high-quality development of the Yangtze River navigation. The new employees also expressed their opinions, expressing their expectations and prospects for their new positions, and demonstrating their determination to work hard.

　　On the morning of September 5th, Deputy Director Dong Zhengfa introduced the relevant situation of digital navigation to the new employees, focusing on the basic concepts of navigation, the historical evolution of navigation marks, the principles and types of inland waterway navigation mark distribution, the basic situation of the Yangtze River digital navigation, and the bureau's digital navigation operation and management model. Deputy Director Huang Faxue, through case analysis, explained the relevant content of the "Fifty Articles on Safety Production" of the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau to the new employees, emphasizing the importance of safety production.

　　Finally, Secretary Mei Linfang delivered a summary speech and offered five suggestions to the new employees: First, strengthen ideological beliefs and build a solid foundation of values; second, strengthen theoretical learning and improve professional skills; third, enhance practical abilities and adhere to the unity of knowledge and action; fourth, benchmark advanced role models and actively pursue progress; fifth, strengthen moral cultivation and forge a responsible character.
