Main Survey Findings 1: Intensifying Recruitment Difficulty

In this survey, approximately 70% responded that recruitment of mechatronics personnel has "become more difficult," confirming the continued harsh recruitment environment in the manufacturing industry. Recruitment difficulty is particularly strongly recognized by management-level personnel, and the majority view the future recruitment environment as "even more severe." Companies are finding it difficult to secure personnel through traditional experienced hire recruitment alone.

Main Survey Findings 2: Training Systems That Cannot Be Maintained Solely by In-House Training

In response to recruitment difficulties, companies are shifting to "development-oriented" recruitment, such as expanding recruitment of inexperienced individuals and those with high potential. On the other hand, challenges are also seen in the internal systems responsible for development. The survey revealed that approximately 60% of companies feel challenges in securing instructors for in-house technical training, with the following situations becoming apparent:

Limited personnel capable of teaching technical skills

Increased burden due to concurrent duties with site operations

Lack of progress in training new instructors

Furthermore, over 70% of respondents indicated that maintaining a technical training system solely with in-house instructors will become difficult within the next five years.

Main Survey Findings 3: Effectiveness of Face-to-Face, Practical Training as a Direction for Development

Against this backdrop, the utilization of external training is also attracting attention. The survey found that face-to-face, practical training is evaluated as the most effective for technical training for mechatronics engineers, with training that allows learning in a manner close to actual work being particularly supported. Additionally, when selecting external training, the following points were found to be emphasized:

Visualization of training effectiveness

Instructor's practical experience

Compatibility with the company's own operations

Conclusion

This survey revealed that while recruitment of engineers in the manufacturing industry will continue to be severe, the shift towards human resource strategies based on development is progressing. On the other hand, due to instructor shortages and challenges in the education system, the difficulty of maintaining training systems solely through in-house training has become apparent. In this context, face-to-face, practical training is evaluated as effective, and it is believed that building flexible training systems that combine in-house and external resources will become increasingly important in the future.
