Abstract
In the organization as a company, there are four types of human resources, "management leader", "supporting staff", "expert" and "practitioner". In universities, the education is focused on the training for leaders. And in other educational institutes, there are education for expert and practitioner, but the education for supporting staff does not exist clearly. The results of survey of the human resource types that working women want and that of working men are completely different. The working men want to be leader, expert, supporting staff and practitioner in turn. But about 40 % of the working women want to be practitioner and only 8.5% want to be leader. And 17.5% of the working women wants to be supporting staff. And the result of survey on the ability, knowledge and certification that the working person thinks useful is also different between women and men. Further the result of survey on the ability, knowledge and certification that the working person want to study is also different between women and men. These results of survey mean the existing difference of the post and the category in the job between women and men. The result of the same survey at Otsuma Women's University, one of the traditional women's university which alumnae have the image of "dutiful wife and devoted mother", is interesting. 40% of the students want to be supporting staff. This means that the "dutiful wife and devoted mother" in house is equals to the supporting staff in the organization. But the students want to study the ability, knowledge and certification that the expert or practitioner type working women think useful. The gap between they want to be and they want to study may cause the maladjustment after their employment. In order to close the gap, the result of this research will be reflected to the curriculum of the program of career education called Otsuma Management Academy.
