Press Kogyo Training School
Press Kogyo Training School has been set up inside the Company for people who have graduated from high school. After finishing high school, new recruits are enrolled in the Training School as they enter the Company. For about a year or so, they learn basic and advanced skills as well as the general skills required of a working member of society. We also provide a wide range of education so that people can acquire the basic physical strength needed for work.
The School was established in 1939 with the aim of cultivating exceptional members of society and employees. We have trained more than 4,500 talented engineers that have been sent out to workplaces. In this way, we have been cultivating the many people needed to continue a school culture that develops people ahead of manufacturing—our goal since the earliest days—and who can respond effectively to rapid technological innovation based on outstanding leaders and a work environment.
