2. Project: Human Resource Development of Aerospace Industry in Greater Nagoya
At the core of aerospace manufacturing, there is know-how that does not exist in other industries. Although this know-how has been developed and managed by Japan’s major aerospace manufacturing companies (called Tier 1), in recent years that knowledge and responsibility have been transferred to mid-size and small contractors.
In a project conducted by VR Techno Center, “Human Resource Development of Aerospace Industry” the professionals will teach the know-how of the aerospace industry not only to existing aerospace contractors, but also to companies who aim to compete in the market and core members of manufacturing workers from Human Resource companies. The program was developed based on industry-university-government networks, training and producing excellent human resource program.
In the classes, students will learn the concepts of the aerospace industry, technology, production management, and quality control along with practical training. The class is designed for 116 hours of total training covering 35 items in 11 chapters.
