Vocational Education and Training in Japan — From Industry's Perspective
Keyword(s):
Higher education in Japan is now at a turning point. The decrease in the 18 year-old population will make it difficult for some universities to survive, while the stagnated economy will require the private sector to seek fewer, excellent employees. The authors focus on vocational education, and first analyse how higher education responds to such changes. They then discuss what industry expects from formal education under these circumstances and how it evaluates that education. The article draws on primary data collected through a questionnaire sent out to Japanese companies.
