Human Resources Development
Marubeni Career Market
Some employees wish to transfer to other divisions where they can make optimum use of their skills. Some divisions require personnel with specific skills. The purpose of the Marubeni Career Market is to match these preferences and see that the transfers are realized. This makes it easier to transfer employees across divisions. This program allows human resources to "flow" within the organization by placing the right people in the right jobs. This leads to increased employee motivation, more effective use of human resources, and maximizes the employees' own achievemen.

In-House Training Programs
Marubeni provides a range of in-house training programs to develop diverse business professionals, or more specifically, (1) human resources with special skills that are useful both inside and outside the company and who are capable of building the business as a whole and (2) human resources with excellent management skills who can take on the responsibility of business management. The two programs that are the most significant are the Marubeni Professional School and the Marubeni Executive School. While the former helps employees from all levels to learn basic business skills, the latter targets management-level personnel and helps them learn about business strategies and frameworks for company operations.
In Fiscal 2007, we began to send personnel at the management level or above to a short-term program for management-level personnel at business schools. In Fiscal 2008, 12 of our employees enrolled in a business school or law school program offered by universities inside and outside Japan, including Harvard University and Washington University. In addition, in July 2008, Marubeni and Keio Business School formed a partnership and jointly offered an innovative management program that lasted for about seven months. About 30 Deputy General Managers and Assistant General Managers participated in the program.
Moreover, overseas training programs are offered, including programs for foreign language studies, general business training, and for training in specialized fields, such as MBA programs and law schools.
