Offering Internship Programs
High school students in an internship program
In order to help students understand how our products are being used in society and make them feel interested in working in the info-telecom industry, OKI offers some internship programs in accordance with KEIDANREN's Charter of Corporate Ethics on New Graduates' Recruitment. In addition to internship events at the head office, the company offers various programs to accept high school and college students at different sites across Japan. In 2011, Public Systems Plant in Numazu and Mechatro Development Center in Takasaki accepted 10 students. The programs were highly regarded by the participants because they were able to work with devices actually used in OKI's products and learn the importance of teamwork.
