"ISOWA style" internship

The summer internship program for college students has become an ISOWA tradition.

This year's first program, a five-day session, was held.

 

ISOWA's product is a huge corrugated manufacturing machine.

It is a bit difficult to have students experience this process in just five days. So, the summer internship was positioned as "Level 1," and the students worked on the production of a miniature version of the machine.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it?

Normally, an internship would be a job for the human resource department in charge of recruitment.

However, at ISOWA, young people in the Technical Division take the lead from planning to operation.

 

This is because most of the participants in the summer internship program are technical students.

When they join ISOWA, it will be the technical members working with them, not the human resource members.

Of course, there were also non-technical students, but they told us, "We don't usually have this kind of manufacturing class in our department, so it's a lot of fun!"

 

Whether they are technical students or not, let them get to know the machines that ISOWA makes. ISOWA's way is to have them experience working together with their peers across departmental boundaries.

Group work is not left to the students. ISOWA's staff members are always there to help and give advice.

This is also to give students a realistic experience of ISOWA's style of manufacturing, in which everyone shares their knowledge and wisdom and cooperates together.

This ISOWA-Bito (ISOWA-related person) team changes members little by little every year, adding new hires from each year. The senior members of the ISOWA-Bito team teach the basics of recruiting to the junior members.

 

It has been almost 20 years since ISOWA began to seriously engage in recruiting new graduates as we do today.

 

For the past 20 years, we have been searching for a style that fits the times and the era.

This path we have been on for so long is the ISOWA way, and to see ISOWA's people, who have taken over the baton and are now moving forward with vigor and vitality, makes me most happy and proud.

To all of ISOWA-Bito who organized the internship program and to the students who participated in it, thank you.

All the best for the future of these young people!
