Trainees can not only undergo training to simply improve their knowledge/skills but also take even more effective and practical courses with a view to acquiring work projects. Through course participation, it can be expected that projects will be set up and stabilized quickly when orders are received.

Number of projects ordered also increases through improvement of in-house engineers' and managers' skills!

iTap provides support for technological training necessary for ordering!

Companies not based in Okinawa can ensure necessary skill training for contractors through courses (PBL, Work-Ready OJT) before placing orders.More concrete estimations can be made about the environment or human resources at the time of ordering, and these can be used as a reference in planning orders.

Before implementing PBL courses, trainees take pre-courses to learn and strengthen prerequisite knowledge.

Skills that remain insufficient after taking the PBL course are further acquired through pre-courses

Skills are acquired efficiently through PBL courses

Leaders undertake practical OJT courses with the aim of further improving their skills (expanding projects)

Practical OJT course participants shift their skills to become in-house engineers

As a follow-up course, instructors are called back and trainees take PBL courses
