The state-owned corporations include the China Petroleum and Chemical Corp. (Sinopec), the China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC), the State Grid, the China Power development Limited, China Construction Bank, China Mobile.

Xu Zhijun, deputy director of the Human Resources Department of BOCOG, and representatives of the relevant companies signed the agreement.

Zhang Jitian, deputy director of Sinopec Human Resources Department, said the nine state-owned enterprises regard the human component of BOCOG as part of the core competiveness of their businesses, having recruited talented individuals from all sectors through various channels.

In her speech, Shen Rubing, deputy director of the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Beijing Municipality (Beijing SASAC), said the SASAC and its affiliated enterprises will take the opportunity from the Olympic Games to train their own personnel in the process of Olympic preparations and recruit personnel from BOCOG after the Games so that they can further optimize their structure of human resources and make them more professional.[/size][/color]
