Electric power industry faces circumstances where advances in system automation technologies and enhancement of operational reliability make on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities less frequent and consequently it becomes difficult to rely simply on a traditional method based on OJT for successfully passing experimental knowledge and skills from one generation of technicians to another. In addition, the “year 2007 issue” puts companies concerned at risk of losing sophisticated skills or know-how which veterans in their employment have accumulated over many years of service.This paper discusses, in light of the usefulness of “guided experience” under an apprentice system, a training/education scheme designed to realize an inheritance of experienced personnels know-how, in particular tacit knowledge, and a new educational system which is based on this notion. A system is proposed which involves: 1) making use of a work simulator, 2) accumulating tacit knowledge which experienced personnel use as the way or process to identify, analyze and solve complex problems in specific challenging situations, and 3) realizing “learning by doing” which is supported by the database of tacit knowledge. Trial on a prototype has proved the feasibility of this system.
