Comment from Hiroshi Shinohara
This year, I was able to pass the Special Grade of the 2022 Finishing Skills Test. I was inspired to take the test after learning that Toshio Nakamori, Group Manager, Supply Chain Management Group, Production Division, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor, Co., passed the Special Grade of the 2021 Second Semester National Skill Test for Machining. While the Level One and Two Skills Tests include a paper test on the assembly and finishing of machines and practical test on finishing skills, for which work experience can be leveraged, the Special Grade test is a test of managing capabilities, such as in managing health and safety, quality, processes, and in work instructions, etc., and looks for skills normally possessed by a manager or supervisor. I believe my experiences onsite helped me to pass. I am deeply grateful to my seniors and colleagues for all of their guidance and I want to utilize my new knowledge in my work.
