Koyama College
Koyama Group started as a medical corporation, then expanded into welfare organizations and corporations, operating medical and long-term care facilities.
But it is also an educational institution.
Koyama’s hospitals and care facilities serve as practical training sites for education.
Every year, hundreds of caregivers graduate from Koyama Group’s workforce.
We also accept nearly 100 technical intern trainees from overseas.
At Koyama Group, there are no tuition fees for obtaining qualifications.
Koyama provides salaries and dormitories.
Like a university, we take pride in contributing to society through education.
We also cooperate with university research.
The reason I am a visiting professor is for this purpose.
In a society with a declining birthrate, the education sector becomes the most challenging area to manage.
At Koyama Group, we have various educational and training systems for our employees.
Sometimes, we refer to this as Koyama College.
Universities have vast campuses, research facilities, and social credibility—rich assets.
Especially, they have a large number of young people.
It is necessary to transcend the current state of universities and become a more socially relevant institution.
At Koyama Group, we have both practical work settings and classrooms.
University hospitals are both hospitals and practical training institutions.
Koyama Group exists today, and we can dream of the future, because every year, many new graduates come through Koyama’s doors.
We are grateful for this and are committed to nurturing them into professional healthcare and welfare workers.
We are currently holding meetings with representatives from each corporation and facility in preparation for new graduate recruitment next spring.
Executives have even gone to Vietnam to conduct interviews at schools.
It seems that the level of students has risen every year.
We welcome them warmly as international students.
The dormitory exclusively for Vietnamese students has been well-received, so we are preparing a second building.
We must also build dormitories for Indonesian and Myanmar students.
We consider our educational center to be a facility with dormitories.
Just as university hospitals need nursing schools and nurses’ dormitories, we too need similar facilities.
While it is natural to deepen our relationships with universities and schools, I believe Koyama Group itself must be more conscious of being an educational institution.
The formation of personalities suitable for medical welfare is a lofty goal.
Only those with this mindset should join Koyama.
Even if it is considered a luxury or arrogance, I first seek this quality in our executives.
Personal growth is tough.
For both myself and my subordinates.
