Education and Training

[As of April, 2011]

Toshiba provides education and training programs for each level and position, including programs for new employees, general employees, supervisory manager and corporate managers.
Constructive quality-related education and training is carried out based on curricula designed to maintain and improve product quality and proactively promote quality control. Table 1 shows the education curricula provided for engineers.
Two types of education and training courses are offer ed: those for onsite supervisors and those for engineers engaged in manufacturing, engineering or quality assurance.
Courses for engineers cover a wide range of quality control education that takes into consideration the student’s level of knowledge and experience.

In addition, to ensure the stable manufacture of highly reliable semiconductors at each workplace, basic and specialized education related to semiconductor manufacturing is provided periodically and on an as-needed basis to workers, using the qualification system shown in Figure 1.
The process of qualifying personnel for particular tasks in this way raises and equalizes the skill levels of employees, helping to stabilize quality.
