We provide training programs based on employee positions, which includes training for new graduates, mid-career employees, as well as for managers. We also hold a variety of other training programs and study groups such as “Team Learning”, in which employees themselves serve as instructors and teach others, as well as joint study groups for engineers, designers, and marketers. With “Team Learning”, seminars focus on content that enrich one’s career and life. We provide opportunities to learn not only skills necessary for work performance, but we also hold seminars on behavioral development, career development, and asset management.

Training Program for New Employees

Our new employees (new graduates and mid-career workers) receive training over a period of one to three months after they join Ateam. We expect them to learn the basic knowledge and skills along with the rules and regulations necessary for their job so they can become a contributing force during the onset of their tenure.

Training for New Graduates

In the first two months of employment, new graduates learn knowledge and skills required to work at Ateam. The training program is designed to instill the rules, regulations, business manners, and necessary skills to work.

Training for Mid-Career Workers

When mid-career workers join Ateam, they learn about the origins and history of the company, our businesses and services, and the rules and regulations for work during their initial orientation. After three months, a one-day “business orientation” is carried out to gain a deeper understanding toward our businesses, as well as to establish relationships with our management team. Over this one-day course, the top leaders and managers of Ateam’s subsidiaries explain details about their respective businesses.

Training for New Managers

Training is provided for newly appointed managers to focus on understanding the roles required of managers and knowledge of risk management. The purpose of this training is to raise awareness of compliance and to improve the structural soundness of our organization.

In addition, we conduct supervisor feedback twice a year, where subordinates can evaluate their superiors. This feedback is used for management improvement and growth.

Team Learning

Under the concept of teaching and learning from each other, we have a unique training program where the employees themselves become instructors. With “Team Learning”, employees share their knowledge and expertise with others so that they can learn and grow together. External instructors are also sometimes invited to share their expertise.

We have a culture in which our employees voluntarily teach each other as we cherish the notion that not only our executives but every member of Ateam takes responsibility for business management. We provide information and knowledge to other teams and groups beyond their own divisions. By institutionalizing it as a training program, it has become possible to share and accumulate know-how and knowledge throughout Ateam while valuing the autonomy of our employees.

Cross-Company Study Groups

A wide range of study groups are held in Ateam, including study groups for engineers, designers, marketers, public relations, and AI specialists. The objective is to encourage interactions among our various companies while learning from each other and sharing knowledge and insights to improve individual skills and organizational productivity.

Basic AI Training

Basic AI training for the entire company began in 2021 when KIKAGAKU Inc. provided the educational programs on advanced technology and cooperated with us to create an internal training program utilizing their AI training specialists. The program is mandatory for all employees and requires them to study the curriculum for 10 hours to a maximum of 50 hours during business hours.

In 2024, the training content was updated to focus not only on basic knowledge about AI, but also on more effective use of AI in everyday work, with the aim of improving productivity and creating new value. A post-training employee survey showed an increase in the use of AI, particularly in the areas of administrative work efficiency (e.g., assisting with e-mail writing and summarizing meeting minutes) and thought organization (e.g., brainstorming ideas for projects, discussing ideas with AI chatbots, and analyzing data).

< Purpose of AI Training >

It is expected that more and more businesses will utilize AI, so basic AI skills are becoming an educational standard for business professionals. Ateam, as an IT company operating various internet-based businesses, supports all employees to obtain basic AI skills so that they can understand how the technology works, which will help us achieve greater business performance in the future.

Compliance Enhancement Training

Through periodic compliance training, we strive to raise the awareness of employees and the organization as a whole by providing basic knowledge of laws, regulations, ethics, and moral standards.

Examples of Compliance Training

• Harassment prevention training for managers, etc.
• Training on legal issues
