Version of Record

DENSO Technical Skills Academy, which is DENSO Corporation's company school, was founded 60 years ago. The school, which started as a vestibule school for junior high school graduates, is now an approved vocational training center offering a three-year industrial high school program for junior high school graduates and two programs for senior high school graduates: a one-year technical college program and a two-year junior college program. The school also offers programs for overseas trainees, teaching them maintenance, production engineering and production. During the 60 years, over 9,000 people have graduated from the school, including over 6,000 core employees currently working for the company. From 2001, the school has been a part of Denso E & TS Training Center Corporation that handles training in general for Denso employees. Denso aims to train well-balanced workers capable of embodying the Denso spirit, in which techniques, skills and thinking are blended together for both Japanese and overseas workers. The school has been working hard to train workers who can fill essential roles in the development, trial production, production engineering, industrial machinery, maintenance and production departments. Using their Hands-on Learning approach - the union of theory and practice - they aim to educate people who will lead mono-zukuri (the art, science and craft of making things) with high ambitions. One characteristic feature of DENSO's personnel system is the strong links between how employees are treated and their national technical skill qualifications. Under such a system, treating employees fairly and equally is difficult without a clear ability rating system for all jobs. For jobs that have no relevant national technical skill qualification, DENSO develops their own in-house technical skill qualifications similar to national qualifications in terms of levels, and uses such in-house qualifications for ability rating. Concerning ability rating, DENSO's stance is clear. Today's mono-zukuri requires highly-skilled technicians with multiple skills who are capable of working flexibly in many fields. At DENSO, a system for continuing to train and supply such core workers has been developed over many years. Systematic human resources development and the excellent technicians who emerge from this development are the sources of DENSO's competitiveness. Responding to globalization, DENSO closely works with overseas bases. The construction of a system for consciously transferring training know-how is underway. Although full-scale training has not been conducted yet, basic training has been conducted at the dojo (training hall) established at each base. The purpose of training is the same as in Japan: training core workers with the Denso spirit.
