As part of their local studies, the students from Takaya Junior High School in Ihara City came for a workplace visit. It was a valuable opportunity for them to learn about "what kind of products are made" and "the people who work" at Takaya, which is near their school. They are said to be summarizing what they learned and will present it at school. It was heartwarming to see their surprise at the cutting-edge equipment and moving machinery that they don't usually encounter, and it energized us as well. We will continue to support all of you as you work hard in your studies and extracurricular activities and grow even more.

From December 11 (Wednesday) to December 13 (Friday), students from Kasaoka Technical High School participated in an internship.
