Fostering diverse human resources
NEC Takumi Juku
“NEC Takumi Juku”, which started in FY 2011 in cooperation with Japan Philanthropic Association, is a six-month program for those who want to utilize their seasoned skills and experience for society after retirement. The program helps corporate retirees and seniors to become NPO and NGO professional volunteers (pro bono) or social business entrepreneurs, and creates new businesses and employments in the community.

2. Comments from graduates
- Thank you for giving me an opportunity to experience many things through classes and hands-on studies. As a corporate worker, engineering in particular, special communication skills are not required to accomplish work because all colleagues had similar goals and it was easy to understand. However, the engineer’s viewpoint I had will not be useful for the new activity I will start in the future. I want to use the experience I leaned here for future activities.
- Our generation trained as corporate warriors needs to be aware of social contributions and pay attention to our surroundings.
- As for me who worked for a commercial enterprise for a long time, it was a great opportunity to learn the necessity of different activities in society from the instructors of the Takumi Juku program.
- I learned the role of senior people through this program. Thanks to this program, I thought about what I can do to create an attractive and energetic society in this troubled country.
