HR Development and Related Services
Due to changes in the business environment, such as the increase in globalization and rapid information technology development, the capacity requirements with regards to human resources have been changing dramatically. It is, therefore, essential for companies to secure and nurture employees as they add significant value to the corporation.

Management of New Field and New Technology Research (NFT)
We are currently running “New Fields and New Technology Research (NFT).” The members are mainly small-to-medium-sized enterprises in the city. Through NFT we are carrying out research activities to support companies that are going into new fields and inventing new technology. We help NFT members in various ways. For example, we work on improving their technical strength, expanding their markets, strengthening their business fundamentals while also cooperating with learned societies, universities, and R&D divisions of other companies.

Improving the information literacy of the employees is a must for small-to-medium-sized enterprises to adapt to what is now an information society. Therefore, we are holding various computer training sessions for these companies. We are also tailoring training courses for companies and groups.

In order to strengthen both sales activities and production, we are holding ISO internal auditor training courses to support workers so they can obtain ISO standard certifications (e.g. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001)
We will update changes in requirements and latest information with regards to the ISO standard and open practical training courses with groupwork activities to meet the standard.
