Educational promotion by public interest incorporated foundation Kourakukai<\/h2>\n

“Korakukai” was founded by the 13th Yokichiro Masaji Miki, who contributed 72,000 yen (approximately 200 million yen in today’s monetary value) to support students with outstanding talent who are economically disadvantaged. It was established as an incorporated foundation in March 1940 as a scholarship project.<\/p>\n

After a temporary hiatus during the war, from 1951 (Showa 26) after the war, in addition to the existing free scholarships, a new “Koraku Award” was established for full-time faculty members and students of Tokushima University. Awarded for excellent research and achievements.<\/p>\n

To date, many faculty members and students have received awards, with more than 4,800 awards. At Tokushima University, the award, which everyone knows, has been said to be “encouraging,” and the bright smiles of the awardees at the award ceremony give us a glimpse of Japan’s bright future.<\/p>\n

In 2012 (Heisei 24), Korakukai was recognized by Tokushima Prefecture for its high public interest, and was certified to transition to a public interest incorporated foundation.<\/p>\n

Efforts for Human Resources<\/h2>\n

\n As the saying goes, \u201cIf you stop by, the shadow of a big tree,\u201d it is an important management issue to develop human resources who can be entrusted with a sense of security and depended on. In order to enable our employees to become a “big tree”, we are focusing on improving their abilities through stratified training, language training, etc. In addition, we conduct \u201cgeneral head office training\u201d where we visit the place where our company was founded and learn about its history and corporate philosophy.<\/p>\n \n <\/section>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
