1. BACKGROUND
As globalization and economic integration of the entire East Asia region progresses, it is necessary to improve
the business environment related to trade and investment for the mutual benefit of all countries in the region.
To address this, the Training Project for Improving the Business Environment related to Trade and Investment
of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry 〔METI〕has been assisting developing countries in improving
industrial structure and the business environment by sharing Japanese economic/social system, technologies
and know-how, all of which have been a foundation of the economic growth of Japan. The Association for
Overseas Technical Scholarship〔AOTS〕is entrusted with this training project in FY2010 by METI, and will
conduct training programs that contribute to the economic development of the region and that address the
needs of individual countries.
In recent years, along with the rapid global expansion of Japanese affiliated companies, especially in the East
Asian region, the demand for human resources is increasing due to the establishment or expansion of new
manufacturing bases. As a result, for Japanese affiliated companies in that region, acquiring and developing
excellent local graduates as their staff has become an urgent issue, in order to gain a competitive advantage in
human resource strategies.
To this end, METI has been assisting universities and other higher educational institutions (hereinafter referred
to as “universities/institutions”) in Vietnam through the program “Human Resources Program - Getting to
Know Japan”, implementing lectures on Japan and its corporate culture, in order to motivate the students to
work in Japanese affiliated companies.

of nurturing the participants with idea of Japanese corporate culture at a higher level though lectures and factory
visits in Japan.
This program is designed for both students who have participated in the above basic program, and
lecturers/staff of universities/institutions who are involved in the implementation of the program.
Also, this program is aimed at encouraging lecturers/staff of universities/institutions to find a way to
collaborate with Japanese affiliated companies to secure their demand for excellent human resource in the
future.
