2. By signing a business outsourcing contract with excellent technicians who are retiring due to age, those seniors are asked to instruct young employees under OJT.

3. The examination fees for technical skill tests and tuition fees for qualification required for jobs are fully paid by the company.
Furthermore, a financial incentive plan for qualified skilled technicians was established in FY 2005.
