The characteristics of international human resources training and development are: (1) initiative: initiative is the most fundamental difference between human resources and other resources, which means that people are in a passive position different from other resources and the only factor that can play a creative role. They can actively, consciously and purposefully understand the world, use other resources to transform the world and promote social and economic development, thus playing an active leading role in social development and economic construction.

(2) Renewable: the tangible loss of human resources refers to the fatigue and aging of people themselves, which is an inevitable and irresistible loss; The intangible loss of human resources refers to the relative aging of personal knowledge and skills due to the development of science and technology.

The wear and tear of the latter is different from the fact that material resources can not be continuously developed, but can be continuously developed through continuous learning, updating knowledge and improving skills. This feature of human resources requires paying attention to lifelong education in the development and management of human resources, strengthening post training and development, and constantly improving one's ability and moral integrity.

(3) Duality: Duality means that human resources are not only the result of investment, but also can create wealth, so they are both producers and consumers. First of all, individuals and society will invest in human resources (such as investment in education and investment in improving physical strength). The size of investment determines the quality of human resources, which is ultimately reflected in the physical strength, intelligence and skills of workers.

Therefore, from this perspective, human resources are consumers, the result of personal and social investment, and even become a kind of capital-human capital, but this kind of investment or consumption behavior is necessary, and it is an indispensable upfront investment to obtain the later income of human resources investment.

(4) Timeliness: Timeliness means that the formation, development and utilization of human resources are all limited by time, and their labor ability is different at different ages when they can work. In addition, with the passage of time, science and technology continue to develop, and people's knowledge and skills are relatively aging, resulting in a relative decline in labor ability.
