## Characteristics of This Year's New Graduates
This year, new graduates gathered from all over the country, consisting of diverse academic backgrounds such as university and technical college graduates, and talents from both science and humanities fields. Their specialized areas range widely from mechanical and electrical engineering to sales and general affairs, representing a well-balanced recruitment strategy aimed at future business expansion.
For the next three months, new employees will undergo group training to acquire an understanding of our business and fundamental technologies, as well as practical programs simulating on-site work to foster immediate readiness for work. Food Techno Engineering's strength lies in its broad curriculum, which not only focuses on acquiring practical skills but also on understanding society and fostering human qualities, thereby nurturing imagination and cooperation. Afterward, they will be assigned to various departments according to their aptitude and aspirations, specializing in areas such as design, construction, maintenance, and sales.
## President Noda's Congratulatory Address (Partial Summary)
Congratulations on joining our company. Food Techno has grown primarily through technology, and we possess several unique technologies found only in Japan and even globally. Many of these have been developed over the past decade or so, coinciding with the period when the number of young employees began to increase. We expect you to play a part in this.
The year before last, we set forth the vision of "Reform and Challenge," and last year, "Becoming a company that contributes to society." We will contribute to society through our business while addressing various social issues such as energy problems, food loss, and plastic waste.
Among these, I want to convey three things to you: "Action over observation," "Expression over silence," and "Altruism over self-interest." First, take action, then express your thoughts, and furthermore, think and act not only for yourself but also for those around you and for society. Saying nothing is equivalent to affirmation. Please take the first step.
Also, well,
