Hello. I'm Nakamura from YN2-TECH. With technological development including 3D technology, we support the Thai manufacturing industry. This year, as a place for communication with clients in Thailand and a place for advanced human resource education, the YNⅡ Cafe was opened. This time, I invited Mr. Kobayashi of our partner company "SHINSEI SOLUTION (THAILAND)" to the cafe and discussed about "Recruitment and development of Thai engineers who are active in Japanese affiliated companies".
Nakamura:As we assisted Japanese affiliated companies to advance into Thailand, there were many inquiries such as "We want personnel who can do DPE (Digital Production Engineering)" or "Can you develop personnel who can do DPE together?". We, in our own way, drafted up the concept of human resource development in Thailand, and consulted with SHINSEI SANGYO who has a scheme for recruitment and development of human resources in Japan. Then SHINSEI SOLUTION (THAILAND) CO., LTD. was established as a company specializing in human resource development in Thailand.
- Human resources in Thailand were far more skillful and motivated than expected
Kobayashi:After coming to Thailand, I realized that there are many talented people in this country. Although we have already sent out graduates from the Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology and science and engineering major of King Mongkut's University of Japan, and this year also many have been nominated for job offers, I am surprised at how many excellent people there are.
Nakamura: Many Thai engineers are good at "manufacturing from a rough-sketch" or "trying to make it anyway". Although it is necessary to set guidelines, but I think that if they are guided well, they will probably learn faster than Japanese engineers.
- Recruiting activities utilizing the network of Thai students
Kobayashi: At the job fair held in January, I felt the high motivation of aspirants for Japanese affiliated companies. In particular, there are many applicants for science and engineering jobs, including electrical designing, mechanical designing, and modeling using CAD, and they are all applying with passion. I have high expectations as the needs in Japan continue to grow.
Nakamura: Are Japanese companies lacking human resources?
Kobayashi: : Not only is it not enough, but it's difficult to train even if they can hire one. For Thai people to work in Japan, it is important to learn practical skills and qualifications as well as Japanese language skills and business manner. Although it is a limited time of 3 months after hiring, we ask them to prepare to be ready to work in Japan by providing an established education while paying the agreed salary.
Among students, the number of applicants has increased, with word-of-mouth communication saying that “One can learn the Japanese language and the basics of Japanese-style manufacturing while working”. Prior to the job fair, we frequented colleges. Thanks to the establishing of the company in Thailand, our strength is that we are able to communicate directly with students.
Nakamura: I think we must create a curriculum that allows them to learn practical programming, 3D designing, and CAD / CAM knowledge together with Japanese language through OJT, and it must be constantly updated. What is the advice Mr. Kobayashi “would like to convey” to the managers in charge of hiring at Japanese affiliated companies?
Kobayashi:First of all, I would like all to feel free to come and visit us at our educational site! See with your own eyes the trainees' enthusiasm for work and how they study. From conversation with them regarding their future jobs, I believe you can certainly have an image of their playing an active role in Japan’s future business scene.
