Olympus College
Olympus College, an in-house education system, provides employees with many opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills in specialty areas by holding lectures and workshops on business, engineering, and technology. Employees are basically allowed to file an application, provided they consult with their superiors in advance. Employees are urged some courses to be received by their superiors.

Advanced Technician/Engineer Encouragement System
Olympus has set up an advanced technician/engineer encouragement system to ensure improvements in and the inheritance of the technical and practical skills of its technicians and engineers. The level of individual employees is generally evaluated based on the Technical Level Evaluation Table. Employees, once judged qualified, will be awarded the special title of Advanced Technician/Engineer and given a bonus. As of March 2007, 128 qualified technicians/engineers are at work.

Mutual communication between students and corporation
We introduced an internship system in FY2002 to provide students with an opportunity to know our working environment. Students actually work at Olympus, and, according to their comments, the system helps them prepare and be more aware of the business world they are entering. In FY2006, we had more than 100 applicants, 25 of which were accepted by the R&D departments.
