Social Contribution Activities

Internship

Hirata Corporation provides internships of a "working experience type," by which the Company provides opportunities for students to think "What it means to work at a company" or "How much what I have learned can be applied." For high school students, we provide motivational lectures prior to the internship and accept plant visits of several hundred students so that they can efficiently develop correct job perceptions and selection of a career.

As a new effort, we plan internships at overseas subsidiaries to develop global human resources and invite schools to participate.
