Human resource development

We are striving to develop and acquire further human resources, who could be the foundation of development of “SHIBAURA MACHINE” by focusing on the succession of existing technologies, acquisition of new technologies, and development of global human resources.

Education systems

SHIBAURA MACHINE Group offers OJT and a wide range of education and training for all group personnel or for specific areas of expertise involved in specific job positions so everyone in the group can exhibit his or her capabilities to the full and accomplish certain achievements.
We also have human resource development programs for different levels of employees from new hires to and experienced employees, including global human resource development, compliance education, technique and skill improvement and transfer, and self-directed development.

・2025 education structure

Engineer education

SHIBAURA MACHINE Group provides education to the mid-level engineers and junior engineers. By covering the contents over a broad range from the mastering of basic technologies and CAD education to qualification acquisition, the education can lead to skill upgrading of the recipients, which is directly linked to their work in which they are engaged. We are also developing human resources who can actively participate in multiple fields by expanding the training to the fields of the marketing strategy that is required for engineers and training for gaining the basic knowledge of manufacturing, as well as the knowledge of designing and drafting.

Global human resource development Training for overseas affiliated companies

In response to the increasing ratio of overseas sales, we have been providing global human resources education every year to develop human resources who can play an active role on the global stage, such as in dealing with overseas customers in Japan, making overseas business trips, and being stationed overseas. In addition to a year of extensive language training, participants will also receive training to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to acquire as global human resources. In addition, in order to create learning opportunities that transcend the limitations of time and place, we have prepared a program that simulates a global business environment, which will lead to increased confidence and the discovery of issues for further growth in the future.

*As for global production engineer training, we have changed the training program to focus on production engineer development since FY2022.

Continuous and consistent HR development, from junior employees to managers

The Shibaura Machine Group is committed to continuous and consistent HR development, from junior employees to managers. Over the first five years, we provide our young employees with training in their second, third, and fifth years of employment with a view to equipping them with the fundamental mindset expected of members of the Shibaura Machine Group. Each program is designed with a clear theme, with employees setting personal goals, such as understanding the purpose of the training and determining how they want to growth, which make the training more effective. It also includes on-the-job training with supervisors and senior colleagues.

In FY2024, we also introduced training programs for section and department managers in order to strengthen management capability.

The section manager training program focuses on enhancing management perspectives and self-transformation skills to improve team member engagement, while the department manager training aims to strengthen executive-level skills and elevate leadership to drive their organizations.
