STUDY ON TRAINING OF SKILLED WORKERS THROUGH COMPANY COLLABORATION

- Focusing on Plastering Companies in the Chugoku area -

Abstract

The number of Japanese construction technicians is rapidly declining, and there is an urgent need to train the next generation. The researchers focused on collaboration among skilled workers’ companies, believing their networking activities can compensate for each other’s weaknesses on their training project. This paper reports the questionnaire survey results that analyzed the form and the members’ intentions of the network, which might influence the collaboration from the perspective of training plastering technicians. This outcome will provide basic knowledge for building a cooperative system that is suited to each company’s situation to pass on plastering techniques to the next generation.
