Yet success in Japan is often achieved by going against what is regarded as ideal practice elsewhere. This book offers the most comprehensive review available in English of the many facets of Japanese vocational education and training. Covering the system from primary education through to in job-training offered by companies, this book provides a detailed study of current practice giving equal emphasis to formal training in explicitly vocational courses, and informal training in factories, shops and offices. The authors analyse the difference between substantive 'person-changing' training and mere 'ability-labelling.' They raise important questions, such as: To what extent does the need to package skills to provide convenient qualifications distort the actual training given? How efficient is it to rely on professional trainers to certify the acquisition of skills, rather than run separate testing systems? The authors reveal how, in Japanese companies, employees are strongly motivated by pride in the successful execution of their jobs, and that much company training is carried out by colleagues. 410 0$aNissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series. 606 $aVocational education$zJapan 606 $aOccupational training$zJapan 615 0$aVocational education 615 0$aOccupational training 676 $a373.246/0952 700 $aDore$b Ronald Philip$00 701 $aSako$b Mari$0124466 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813581603321 996 $aHow the Japanese learn to work$93950135 997 $aUNINA
