Personnel Development

Development of Personnel who can take on Challenges and Give Proposals

Structured educational programs

As part of our structured educational programs, we conduct training for employees at their 1st, 3rd, and 5th years of employment, as well as for management personnel. 

Specialized human resources development

As a manufacturer that provides value to our customers through our products, we train professional human resources related to business such as marketing, R&D, and manufacturing technology, as well as those related to business management such as accounting, finance, digital technology, and labor management.

Development of management human resources

To achieve management plans and targets, we are implementing human resources development that will be the key to improving organizational capabilities, executing project management, and promoting human capital management. Since 2021, we have been conducting aptitude tests for management, and since 2022, we have been implementing the “Management Enhancement Program” for managers to strengthen their leadership, challenge-setting ability, problem-solving ability, and ability to accomplish tasks.

Training of next-generation leaders

To develop human resources who can drive the growth of S.T., since 2022 we have continued to implement the “Next-Generation Leader Development Program ‘NEXT,’” a selective, performance-based training program for young, mid-level employees in their 20s and 30s. We held two sessions in 2023 and three sessions in 2024, with 62 graduates in the first, second, and third sessions.
With “Out of the box!” as the catchphrase, we invited external lecturers to hold seminars on challenges across S.T. with people of the same generation and management across organizational boundaries. In FY 2023, we also visited South Korea to hold study sessions with overseas affiliates. In 2024, we learned the importance of providing value that resonates with the heart through experiential visits engaging all five senses. The ultimate goal of the “NEXT” program is to propose ideas to management, and those ideas that are recognized are put into practice for commercialization by the participants themselves. After graduating from “NEXT,” participants continue to implement human resources development through workplace practice, such as proactively participating in company transformation projects.
Furthermore, since 2020, we have been implementing ALIVE, a cross-border training program for developing next-generation leaders (with a cumulative total of 17 participants), as part of our efforts to cultivate future leaders.
