Plant Tour
NISHIJIMA is a model company that has abolished its retirement system and devoted itself to creating an environment where veteran engineers can work as long as they wish. Its motto is "active for life." Apart from classroom lectures, this on-the-spot learning was a very fruitful day for all of the students.
Their visit appeared on three newspapers: the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Tonichi News and Higashiaichi Shimbun.
