Training I received
Pre-assignment training (Late May to June, approximately 5 weeks)
Through practical training at the manufacturing site, students learn the fundamentals of manufacturing. Understanding how a product is made deepens our understanding of it.
After taking the training
I rotated through five different roles—sales planning, development, materials design, product design, and corporate staff—for one week each. Initially, I was worried about being assigned to materials design, but after experiencing the work firsthand, I became convinced that this was the job I wanted. The senior employees were very helpful and the atmosphere made it easy to ask questions. In the final week, I reviewed the training with my colleagues, and it was a valuable experience to share the direction we are each aiming for.
