Holding Internship Events
Experiencing monozukuri
OKI carries out the "One-Day Internship" program for undergraduate and graduate students every year. The purpose of this program is to help students understand how OKI's products are being used in society and make them feel interested in working in the info-telecom industry.
The 2010 program, held at the OKI Showroom, focused on "solution business to support society" and "monozukuri (art of manufacturing)." There were nine sessions of the same program in which the participating students were asked to "propose the most appropriate solution to the business issue of each customer using OKI products" and "experience monozukuri in group work". The program was highly regarded by the participants because they were able to get inspirations about the significance of work.
