Counseling for employers’ organizations and employers is implemented to solve human resources training issues for their employees. Training for employed people is provided to mainly, small- and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry in order to improve their skills/technology.

Counseling on Skills Development for Employees (Proposal of Human Resources Training Plan)

In order to help employers’ organizations and employers solve challenges in human resources training, a counseling service is available for development and improvement of their employees’ vocational ability. At the commencement of counseling, Human Resources Training Plan, made by utilizing the JEED database, Career Development System, will be proposed as the basis for educational training conducted by employers’ organizations and employers.

In cooperation with employers’ organizations and employers all over the nation, jobs in the workplaces are analyzed. Utilizing the model data recognized by analyzing vocational skills required for the work, JEED will establish targets for improving employees’ skills by understanding their vocational skills.

JEED will propose the Human Resources Training Plan, which utilizes JEED training curricula (about 3,000 courses). The Plan includes how to train employees by making use of the vocational training for employed people conducted by JEED, so that educational training can be conducted to solve the challenges in the field of human resources training.

Training for Employed People (Skills Development Seminars)

Solving Problems on Company Production Floors Skills development seminars are held for people who are currently employed so that they can improve their specialized knowledge and skills/technology required in their work, offering relatively short-term vocational training (2 - 5 days). The training is conducted with a focus on the manufacturing field, including machine/metal, electricity/electronics and housing, by setting the training courses such as design/development, processing/assembly, engineering/construction, and facility maintenance. These courses are conducted not only on weekday daytime, but also nighttime as well as Saturdays and Sundays. The details of the training courses are available on the websites of Polytechnic Centers and Polytechnic Colleges. Otherwise, please make an enquiry to each facility.

Training courses are provided systematically in an environment equivalent to actual workplaces in order to solve problems that production floors of a company have, such as; “improving/upgrading production processes”, “manufacturing new products”, and “responding to new technology”. These courses can be taken effectively and systematically according to the career development plan of the company. Also, if existing courses do not fit a company’s schedule, or if there is the need of a training to meet specific problems or aims, training courses can be prepared in response to those and other individual circumstances.

Professional vocational training instructors are dispatched according to the needs of employers who have problems in providing training to their employees. Problems include questions about how to provide educational training, the lack of human resources able to serve as instructors, and so on.

Training facilities/equipment of Polytechnic Centers and Polytechnic Colleges are available when employers have problems such as the lack of a training location, equipment not being available because the production line cannot be stopped, and so on.
