SocialHuman Resource Development
To develop human resources who are proactive, dynamic, and creative and who can be active on a global scale from a long-term perspective, we are implementing various initiatives, including the introduction of different training programs.
In addition, we offer a step-by-step training program for employees to systematically develop next-generation leaders who will play a central role in management.

Our Training Programs
- Capacity building training programs/list of training programs
- We offer various training programs tailored to employees’ duties and job classes.
- Training of new graduates
- In the group training provided immediately after joining the company, new graduates learn the mental attitude they should have as working members of society, basic business etiquette, and knowledge needed to work for our company, among other information. Then, they receive onsite training at laboratories, sales offices, and plants. After they are assigned to a department, senior people mentor them in on-the-job training (OJT), and new graduates learn about their duties as they gain practical experience.
- Mentoring training
- We have introduced this training program, in which trainees learn frames of mind and critical points needed for mentoring and developing new employees and understand the importance of mentoring junior colleagues in the workplace and how to engage with them as mentors.
- Career paths
- We assign, develop, and transfer employees based on their capabilities and aptitudes and implement career development measures so that they can grow personally and live up to their potential while gaining experience and skills.
- Internal TOEIC program
- We have a program under which employees who have fulfilled specific requirements can take the TOEIC IP Test.
