In 1961, out of a total of 33,000 Yawata Steel Works employees, approximately 20,000 had less than 8 years of school education. At this time, the company was also faced with the task of shifting to state of the art production facilities, which required employee intensive management systems such as the "Line and Staff System" and "Foreman System." These systems required a higher level of technical and managerial expertise than most employees had. In order to solve this problem, Yawata developed a massive employee education project in which workers studied successive courses until they could obtain the equivalent of a senior high, or even Junior College, education. Between 1959 and 1964, nearly 1,200 of the senior and outstanding workers who participated in this program were nominated to become Foremen. Furthermore, between 1959 and 1969, of the approximately 20,000 staff and workers newly employed and trained by Yawata Works, more than 7,000 were transferred to newly constructed steel works. The expertise they took with them played a critical role in creating the subsequent Japanese steel production and export boom, which was a major influence on the rapid economic growth Japan experienced afterwards. This paper overview of the large-scale employee education project with explanation of the process of its development.
