Japan Electronics College (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), operated by Educational Foundation Denshi Gakuen, is pleased to announce that its "DX Specialist Department" in the information processing field has been officially accredited by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a "Professional Practice Vocational Course."
This accreditation means that all daytime departments at the college that are eligible for the system are now accredited.
A "Professional Practice Vocational Course" is a system where the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology accredits departments within vocational schools that are engaged in practical vocational education, closely collaborating with companies to acquire the latest practical knowledge and skills. Accreditation requires meeting strict criteria, such as developing curricula in cooperation with companies, conducting practical training, and implementing faculty training.
The newly accredited "DX Specialist Department" was established to respond to the rapidly evolving trend of digital transformation (DX) and to cultivate human resources who can solve business challenges with IT.
The aim is to foster professionals who possess both digital technology (IT) and business knowledge, essential in a DX society, and who can contribute to business improvement and problem-solving across a wide range of industries. The curriculum of this department has the following features:
【Features of this Department】
■ Technology Acquisition
Students acquire IT skills necessary for practicing DX through building web pages using JavaScript, business automation technology with RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and low-code application development utilizing databases.
■ Utilization of Generative AI
Based on the opinions of the curriculum development committee, generative AI such as ChatGPT is utilized in classes. Students gain exposure to text creation, code generation, and debugging assistance, deepening their understanding with a view to practical application.
■ Business and Strategy
Beyond DX, students acquire general business skills through learning marketing, planning, and management, and gain essential basic knowledge required as working professionals.
■ Qualification Acquisition Support
Strong support is provided for acquiring qualifications such as IT Passport, Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS), and Job Path Level 3.
■ Corporate Collaboration Classes
Students utilize acquired IT skills to create new businesses with data and strategy, and develop practical abilities through participation in external contests.
■ Placement of Practical Instructors
Experienced instructors provide guidance, and practical training and exercises in collaboration with companies account for a significant portion of the total 1,710 class hours.
This accreditation publicly recognizes that this department accurately grasps industry needs and provides high-quality education in collaboration with companies. Through practical classes and exercises in cooperation with companies, students can develop the skills of "ready-to-work" professionals who can immediately contribute in the field after graduation.
Japan Electronics College will continue to deepen its collaboration with industry and strive to cultivate specialists who will lead the DX transformation of society.
