Initiatives for the Next Generation Growth
The JVCKENWOOD Group supports the growth of children who will play key roles in the future and fosters the next generation of citizens for sustainable social development by offering classes and opportunities to young people, and improving elementary school facilities. We will continue our diverse community activities to co-create value that can be passed on to the next generation.
■Work/Technology Experience Programs and Delivering Lessons
Giving Lessons at Yokohama Municipal Higashi High School
JVCKENWOOD delivered lessons at Yokohama Municipal Higashi High School ("Yokohama Municipal Higashi High School Premium Program") in December 2024. In these lessons, we gave presentations on social contribution and sustainability to first and second year high school students.
This was our sixth time delivering these lessons, which we have continuously done from the perspective of regional co-creation.
We gave two presentations, each lasting 30 minutes, with approximately 15 students attending each presentation. These presentations looked at the example of smart forestry using our communications systems to show how we are contributing to the achievement of a sustainable society, based on our corporate philosophy, "Creating excitement and peace of mind for the people of the world." We not only explained the link between business and sustainability in words, but also had students gain hands-on experience by taking in actual professional radio systems, tablets, and smartphones. In this way, we gained their understanding about how our communications systems play a role in protecting Japan's greenery.
Going forward, JVCKENWOOD will continue promoting sustainability activities, while also actively supporting the development of the children who will lead the future.
Career Program in Collaboration with University
In August 2024, Victor Entertainment held the J Mission career support program for freshmen and sophomores at Jissen Women's University. J Mission is a joint industry-academia program bringing together Jissen Women's University, companies, and local governments. The workshop theme was "Design and present official merchandise for "YANG SKINNY," a four-piece guitar rock band from Tokyo with an average age of 22 which sing about how everyday life is filled with lies and contradictions," and it attracted around 30 student participants. Office tours were also held for students who requested them. JVCKENWOOD will continue to contribute to local communities through collaboration with educational institutions, companies, organizations, and events.
Acceptance of Local High School Students for Work Experience (Internship)
JVCKENWOOD Nagaoka Corporation conducts a work experience (internship) for local high school students every year. In 2024, we accepted one high school student to experience what kind of work is actually being done at JVCKENWOOD Nagaoka Corporation. We will continue to work with local high schools and technical colleges to foster the next generation.
■Opportunities for Younger Generation
Work experience for local university student (Internship program) (Indonesia)
PT. JVCKENWOOD Electronics Indonesia (Indonesia) provides opportunities for university students to practice fieldwork for several months in a department according to their field to implement their educational curriculum. In the future, PT JKEI will continue this program to provide opportunities for next generations of students.
■Providing Children with Learning Opportunities and Improving Learning Environments
Providing scholarships to elementary school students and enhancing elementary school facilities, such as toilets and washrooms, are vital to fostering students’ potential and creating opportunities for young people to sow the seeds of economic growth in developing countries, as well as improving hygiene and preventing infectious diseases.
