The Overseas Study Program for Technicians is intended to develop engineers and technicians who can function internationally, as well as enable them to acquire skills that they can use to contribute to Canon’s core businesses in the future. This program began in 1984, and to date, a total of 128 employees have participated in the program, studying at universities abroad.

Career progression

They evaluate the conduct and performance of employees under their position-based pay system, supervisors have meetings with their team members individually three times a year—at the start, midpoint, and end—to confirm duties and targets, monitor progress, and discuss future career development based on a “career sheet” filled out by the employee.

When discussing the evaluation, supervisors offer advice and guidance on improving results and work performance. This enables employees to objectively understand their own strengths and weaknesses, which aids them in achieving further growth. Supervisors also use this information in future development plans for the employee.

Canon has also established an internal career-matching system to support its employees in pursuing satisfying careers. The system matches the right people to the right jobs, promotes the internal mobility of human resources, and brings greater vitality to the company. In 2021, 252 employees were transferred through this system.

Employees who wish to take on new work challenges in a field where they have no experience can receive training opportunities to gain requisite skills, and then take up a position based on their skill level.
