Work experience program for junior high school students
We provide an opportunity for young generations, who may become "key players in the manufacturing industry" in the future, to have hands-on work experience so they will develop good perspective on working in general and on the particular occupation.
Kuramae Science Class
Kuramae Kogyo-kai (a general incorporated association) is engaged in a wide range of activities intended to arouse interest in science among children, including offering on-site small classes on scientific principles across the country. By providing support for their "Kurarika" class, we support their activities for nurturing children who may become scientists in the future.In FY2022, former members of Shibaura Machine served as instructors in Shizuoka Prefecture, holding 36 workshops in which children actually put together monitors, experiencing the joy of manufacturing and learning about how electricity works.
Our retirees led the class. The children gained hands-on knowledge about the characteristics of electricity and enjoyed the class. They learned how a motor works and assembled a motor on the spot.

We participated in the career information event as a part of the career information sessions Professionals of various occupations participated in the event as the lecturers and three employees from Shibaura Machine, who are the graduates of the high school, introduced our work, including sales, design, and manufacturing and also satisfactions gained from the work by using video images.
