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 April 2008, 102 qualified technicians/engineers are at work.
Internship
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 FY2007, we had more than 400 applicants, 45 of which were accepted by the R&D departments.
