Karuizawa Plant Visit Takes Miyota Junior High Students into the Working World
Minebea's Karuizawa Plant in Miyota Town, Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture opened its doors to three local students in their second year at Miyota Junior High School to help out with the school's work experience program. The work experience program is part of the school's career education curriculum which is designed to teach students about the difficulties and importance of working by putting them shoulder to shoulder with adults in a real work setting to give them a learning experience that cannot be had in a normal classroom. Students spent two days working under the direction of the Ball Bearing Business Unit on such things as assembly and inspections.
Several days after the program, we received a thank-you letter with impressions from the students. "We learned how different machines and countless people are needed to carefully make the ball bearings we take for granted in the things we use," they wrote. "Just one little mistake could ruin everything!"
Minebea looks forward to supporting the local community through similar activities in the future.
