From March 13 (Wednesday) to 15 (Friday), 2024, at the "38th Spring Conference of the Electronics Packaging Society" held at Tokyo University of Science, Takaya Corporation presented a lecture titled "Latest Trends in Hybrid Testing Systems Combining JTAG Inspection and Flying Probe Testers," which received the Excellence Award at the conference. On September 12, 2024, a ceremony was held at Daido University in Aichi Prefecture during the "MES2024 Symposium," where we were presented with a commemorative plaque.

On Saturday, August 10, 2024, we participated in the "Ibara Work Experience Festival" held at the Yoshii Lifelong Learning Center in Ibara City! On that day, workshops were available for children in Ibara City to experience various "jobs" alongside their parents. At Takaya, we conducted a "Secret Experience of Familiar Radio Waves" using products from our RF Division. Many attendees were surprised to learn for the first time that there is a "No. 1 company with top market share" in their local area. We were very happy to share even a little of our company's appeal and business with them. Thank you for coming despite it being summer vacation.

The internship for 5 days from August 26 to 30 has started. On the first day, we had a presentation about the business division and a company tour! Let's work hard together. Thank you!

We had you enter the actual factory and experience manufacturing! It may have been difficult since it was your first time, but you approached it seriously. Thank you very much.

We had the opportunity to closely follow a senior employee and experience the actual work. I would be happy if this experience can be useful for your future job search! Thank you very much.

From July 21 to 23, two students from Kurashiki City Industrial High School participated in an internship. I was very pleased with their enthusiastic approach to everything. I hope that what they learned at Takaya will be useful in their future job search. Thank you to the students and everyone involved.

I talked about Takaya's introduction, the job description of the internship to be held in the fall, and the schedule. I hope this information will be helpful for your company research leading up to the internship.

Ten second-year students from Okayama Prefectural Ihara High School, accompanied by one teacher, visited our headquarters as part of their "Ibara City Company Visit." They toured the Industrial Equipment Division, Solutions Division, and RF Division, and during the company overview presentation, the students took notes enthusiastically and listened attentively. During the factory tour, they were amazed by the machines they saw for the first time, yet they listened seriously to the explanations from our young employees. We hope this visit will be helpful for their future career choices. Thank you for visiting us!

From July 12 to 14, 2024, Takaya Corporation's Industrial Equipment Division exhibited at the "Electronic Equipment Total Solution Exhibition 2024 (JPCA Show 2024)" held at Tokyo Big Sight.

Takaya Corporation (Headquarters: Ihara Town, Okayama Prefecture; President: Ryuji Okamoto) has received the 20th "JPCA Award" (hereinafter referred to as "the Award") for its "Hybrid Inspection System Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testing." The awarded "Hybrid Inspection System Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testing" integrates the flying probe tester with JTAG boundary scan testing, allowing for the mutual complementarity of each inspection method. This maximizes the test coverage of high-density mounted circuit boards and enables more accurate fault diagnosis, introducing a new system. A panel introducing the Award will be displayed at the "JPCA Show 2024 (Total Solutions for Electronic Devices Exhibition 2024)" held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 12 (Wednesday) to June 14 (Friday). Our company will also have an exhibition booth at the event, showcasing a real flying probe tester. We invite you to come and see it.

Currently, the parental leave acquisition and return rates for both men and women are 100%. In addition to parental leave, there are systems such as short-time work for child-rearing and "child nursing leave" that can be taken when a child suddenly falls ill, as well as special paid leave for "wife's childbirth leave." There are also family allowances for childbirth and child-rearing, as well as childbirth celebration bonuses, and we are committed to supporting our employees in balancing work and child-rearing.
