Cadre training refers to the process of adopting certain training methods to improve the theory, knowledge, attitude and ability of cadres and improve their work performance. The main content of cadre training is to learn Marxist theory, the party's principles and policies and scientific and cultural knowledge, and to conduct comprehensive training in combination with professional knowledge learning.

There are various forms of cadre training, and a large number of cadres have been trained through the main channels such as party schools, administrative colleges and cadre colleges, as well as education and training institutions in night universities, TV universities, correspondence universities and related industries. There are various ways to train cadres, including orientation training, supporting training, pre-job training, post-job training, on-the-job training and resignation training.

After the training of cadres, they should be assessed and evaluated, and the education and training of cadres should be regarded as the content of assessment and one of the important basis for their appointment and promotion. China has always attached great importance to cadre training, especially since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee.

In order to meet the requirements of the development of modernization, the training plan is constantly formulated and revised, and cadres are trained in turn by stages, which improves the political and professional quality of cadres, adapts to the needs of the new situation and new tasks, and plays a positive role in promoting modernization.

In the new era, the environment faced by the party is more complicated and the task is more arduous. Large-scale training of cadres is an urgent need to strengthen the construction of the party's ruling ability and an objective requirement for building a learning party and a learning society, which is more urgent and important than ever.

In 2007, the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that "we should continue to train cadres on a large scale, give full play to the role of party schools, administrative colleges and cadre colleges, and greatly improve the quality of cadres." According to this requirement, do a good job in cadre education and training, and provide ideological and political guarantee, talent guarantee and intellectual support for building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.
