Development Timeline

Training Programs

Management Development Program (MDP): This training program cultivates next-generation leaders by granting trial management responsibilities for a certain period of time. This program not only encourages growth, but is also effective in developing leadership candidates and helps to maintain an active organization.
Career Development Program (CDP): This program allows employees to move to another section of the company for a certain period of time to work in a new role. Experiencing various types of work outside of their specialties cultivates broad skill set and promotes development of new capacities. Recently, there has been an increase in "overseas CDP", in which Japanese workers are assigned to overseas subsidiaries to further this goal.
Multi assessment: To foster the development of managers, this program gives employees the opportunity to complete an evaluation (survey) of management. The purpose is to periodically and openly share strengths and improvement areas to improve management quality.
