Basic approach and related initiatives

On-the-job training (OJT) is a vital pillar of OMRON's capability development system. Complementing the system are the In-house Training System and the Self-education Support System, which can be freely undertaken by employees.

Proactive utilization of "e-learning"

In fiscal 2006, an e-learning self-education system using the Internet and intranet was also actively utilized. In the future, e-learning will be further developed by expanding it to the domestic OMRON Group.
