As an engineering company, JGC's sustained growth depends upon its people.

Therefore, the JGC Group focuses on personnel development and communication with its employees.

Personnel Systems

JGC's fundamental policy for personnel systems is "autonomous development and creation of new value." In 2001, we introduced a personnel system to enable employees to autonomously develop their professional skills, while sharing the strategic direction of the company, and offering new value and contributions to customers and society. In subsequent years we have worked to firmly establish the system.

Personnel Development at JGC Techno College

JGC Techno College

In 2001, JGC founded the JGC Techno College as a place where motivated personnel can voluntarily participate in continuing education courses. Senior staff members with long-term technical experience act as instructors at the college and organize and run the sessions, to help pass on their skills and experiences to younger employees. In addition to offering conventional in-house technical courses, the college holds sessions periodically inviting prominent experts in various fields from Japan and foreign countries. In 2010, JGC held 12 Techno College sessions and more than 1,500 officers and employees attended its courses and lectures.

Educating Future Engineers (Piping School)

Practical training using drafters

Expecting a shortage of technicians skilled in plant piping layout, the JGC Group company JGC Plant Solutions Co., Ltd has opened a Piping School in April 2007 to train students for this field. Located in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, the school hires high school graduates from the area with an interest in mathematics and design. After two years of intensive training in basic design techniques at the school, they refine their skills through on-the-job training (OJT) in the Yokohama area. Forty-six students that graduated by 2011 are already accumulating experience through this OJT system.

Since JGC intends to establish a design center in Morioka City in the coming future, this initiative has also attracted attention within the city because it provides young people with the stable job of designing plants, in Morioka, for projects in which the JGC Group is involved worldwide.

JGC Family Day (Bring-Your-Child-To-Work Day)

Employees and children participating in JGC Family Day

On August 23, 2010 JGC held JGC Family Day, to allow children from primary school grades four through six to observe their parents' workplaces. Twenty-one children of JGC employees participated in the event, the purpose of which is to develop children's social awareness and foster the concept of work and occupation. They exchanged handmade business cards with JGC Chairman Keisuke Takeuchi and employees, in addition to observing work and meetings in the actual company office. We hold this event every year to raise employee awareness of the importance of a healthy work-life balance.
