Vocational Training and Counseling on Skills Development for Employed People
Those working at small- and medium-sized enterprises and other businesses may undergo vocational training (for those currently employed) that is offered for 2 to 5 days so that they may improve their skills and techniques. Also, a variety of support programs are available for human resources training conducted by these enterprises.
Polytechnic Centers, Polytechnic Colleges, etc.
In order to help production staff at private enterprises to find the solutions to any issues that they may encounter, a variety of vocational training programs are offered so that they may acquire the specialized knowledge and skills/technology required to improve productivity and operations, and to develop new products.
Employers and employers’ organizations wishing to boost their employees’ vocational skills may avail themselves of the facilities and equipment at the Centers and Colleges, as well as advice and support services on the implementation of such training.
1 Training for Employed People (Skills Development Seminars)
Skills development seminars are held for people who are currently employed so that they can improve their specialized knowledge and skills/technology required in their work. Offering relatively short term vocational training (2-5 days) that responds to local needs with a focus on the manufacturing field, the seminars are held at Polytechnic Centers, Polytechnic Colleges, and other facilities.
Addressing Issues at Private Enterprises

Training for employed people helps them to successfully address these issues.
