To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must have a contingent of cadres who are politically competent, adapt to the requirements of the new era, and have the ability to lead the modernization drive. The report of the 20th CPC National Congress pointed out that it is necessary to grasp the fundamental plan of having successors and improve the normalized work mechanism for training and selecting outstanding young cadres. Cultivating and selecting outstanding young cadres is a major matter, which has a bearing on the fate of the party, the country, the nation, and the well-being of the people. Young cadres are the main force of the contingent of high-quality cadres worthy of the important tasks of the new era and new journey, the backbone of future development, and the hope of the cause of the party and the country. How to build a group of young reserve forces who are absolutely loyal to the party and establish a long-term mechanism for strict management and strict management is an important topic for the education of young cadres for a long time to come.
"Deep study" is the basic foothold for building a long-term mechanism for educating young cadres. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Young cadres need to master many skills to be competent in leadership work. The most fundamental skill is theoretical literacy. "The long-term mechanism for the normal education of young cadres should take study and education as the guide, grasp the education and rectification work with the first good standard, and strengthen theoretical study is an urgent need for young cadres." First, continue to strengthen political guidance. The key to how to measure whether cadres have ideals and convictions depends on whether they are loyal to the party. It is necessary to ensure that young cadres maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in terms of political stance, political direction, political principles and political road. Second, continue to strengthen theoretical study. Studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the fundamental requirement for a new era and a new journey and a new situation in the development of the cause. Through continuous study, thoughts and actions are gradually unified with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee. The third is to comprehensively strengthen the study of systems and conduct education on a culture of honesty. To make the education of young cadres more standardized and rule of law, it is necessary to strengthen the study of internal party laws and regulations, and at the same time strengthen the promotion of education on clean culture, so that young cadres can resist corrupt behavior by means of inner restraint.
"Practical research" is a realistic point to promote young cadres to combine theoretical study with practice and build a long-term mechanism for young cadre education. To understand reality, we must master the basic skill of investigation and research. Investigation and study are important ideological methods and working methods of communists and the basic skills for doing a good job in all work. The grassroots level is the best classroom for young cadres. On the one hand, it is necessary to vigorously promote the style of investigation among young cadres, carry out research in a down-to-earth manner, go deep into reality, go deep into the grassroots level, and go deep among the masses, learn from the masses and from practice, combine theoretical study with concrete social practice, verify the content of theoretical study in practice, and constantly improve their own cognitive ability and self-discipline level. On the other hand, it is necessary to take young cadres as the research object, conduct in-depth research on the problems of insufficient theoretical understanding, ideological confusion and work concerns existing in young people's work, as well as anxiety and mental pressure in life, and give care and care to the work and life of young cadres. Only by truly understanding the problems and confusion existing in the reality of young cadres can we carry out targeted study and education, guide young cadres to keep a sober mind at all times, and always achieve "knowing and respecting, guarding against fear, and guarding the bottom line".
"Grasping implementation" is a key breakthrough point in building a long-term mechanism for educating young cadres. Tempering party spirit is a compulsory course for the growth of young cadres, and grasping implementation is an important indicator of young cadres' cultivation of party spirit. To educate young cadres, it is necessary to grasp the world outlook and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and adhere to and apply well the positions and views and methods that run through it. On the one hand, we must persist in being problem-oriented and deeply tap the motivation and encouragement of young cadre education. On the other hand, it is necessary to adhere to the system concept. To forge a contingent of high-quality and professional outstanding young cadres who are loyal, clean, and responsible, it is necessary to study in depth theory, guide investigation and investigation with theory, and grasp implementation on the basis of in-depth study and actual investigation. Strengthen education in a culture of honesty and integrity, so that young cadres can form a spiraling trend of "cognition-identity-belief" of "theoretical cognition guiding practice-theoretical identity to distinguish right from wrong-theoretical belief and choice behavior", put an end to unhealthy tendencies, and grow into a new force with responsibility and responsibility.
