1. Activities of HIDA
----------------------------------------------------------
HIDA has taken over the training activities that AOTS has been implementing
as well as the experts dispatch program that JODC has been implementing,
and continues to carry out these projects with the aim of developing industries
and human resources within and outside Japan. Of these, the following provide
some details of the projects for Industrial Human Resource Development that are
eligible for official development assistance.

1) Training Activities
Training programs under HIDA comprises training that is carried out in Japan,
and training that is carried out in developing countries etc. Of
these, training that is
carried out in Japan involves the acceptance of company managers and engineers
from developing countries into Japanese companies that have financial
or business
relations with the company in the developing country. There are two
types of training-
“technical training” and “management training.” In the former, trainees acquire
specific skills in Japanese manufacturing technologies; in the latter,
trainees learn
the various management skills that are required for company and
factory management.

Further details will be
provided after the launch of this program for this fiscal year.

2) Experts Dispatch Program
The Experts Dispatch Program dispatches highly qualified specialists from Japan
to companies in developing countries, in cooperation with Japanese companies
that have financial or business relations with the company in the
developing country.
This program is effective in enhancing productivity and quality for the company
in the developing country, as well as in improving management systems.

3. New Global Cooperation (NGC) Seminar in July 2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Workshop for Challenging Managers (504-4)
-Five Days of Debating Bold Challenges in Simulation-


This program has been created to accommodate the needs of busy and active
business managers and leaders. It has spun off from the most popular HIDA
training program, The Training Course on Solving Human and Organizational
Problems (SHOP), which is held over 3 weeks. The Program Director of SHOP,
Mr. Noriyuki MURATA has developed this NGC 504-4 program by extracting
the "essence" of SHOP and spiced it up including methods of drama workshops.

Don't miss this opportunity to polish your leadership skills with us!

4. For the Popularization of Japanese Monozukuri-ABK & AOTS Alumni
Society (Thailand)-
----------------------------------------------------------
The Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology (TNI) located in Bangkok, Thailand, was
established in 2007 with the aim of nurturing engineers with a Japanese
monozukuri spirit. To that end, TNI not only reflects the needs of Japanese
companies in its curriculum, but also invites lecturers from Japanese companies
and organizes factory internships at Japanese companies.

It has also instituted a unique system whereby all students are
required to study
the Japanese language, thus producing many graduates who are “engineers
with Japanese language ability.” Consequently, a large number of the first batch
of students who graduated last year found jobs in Japanese companies.

In the process of the establishment of TNI, Technology Promotion Thailand (TPA)
played a significant role in reaching out to both the Japanese and
Thai governments and
industries, and in seeking the cooperation of Japanese companies in Thailand.
Thanks to their efforts, much cooperation and assistance was also proffered by
the Thai AOTS alumni group known as the ABK & AOTS Alumni Society (Thailand).
In fact, there are many people in the TPA who are also involved in the
Alumni Society.

TNI is a success story that is representative of how it can be possible to apply
the Japanese monozukuri concept to the development of human resources in
one’s own country. Never forget that its success is backed by the combined power
of all Thai ex-participants.

The respective AOTS alumni societies in each country are also putting
effort into
applying the skills and concepts that they have learnt in Japan, into
the development of
their home countries. Why not be a part of that too?
