Therefore, a decrease in applicant magnification to technical colleges and lack of scholastic ability become a problem. In addition, a growing demand for regional alliances in higher education institutes from 1990s. In some technical colleges, an education support business to an elementary and junior high school has already been carried out and it became the good motivation for making handmade things. Our college has been interacting with neighbor elementary and junior high schools, and in 2002, established Cooperative Technology Center to promote local interchange and the education support, that cooperated with a local social organization, for elementary and junior high school students. This report introduces the practical examples such support our college has been providing.
