ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Adopts 'amoibe OJT' for Junior Engineer Training

Overview The OJT program 'amoibe OJT,' provided by amoibe Inc., has been adopted by ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC). To strengthen practical training for new engineers in a remote work environment, CTC introduced the 'Development Engineer Java Course' and the 'Infrastructure Engineer AWS Course.'

Background: Challenges in Junior Training During the Remote Era With the shift to remote work post-COVID-19, an 'OJT gap' emerged, where new employees struggle to seek advice and mentors find it difficult to initiate contact. Within CTC's Wide-Area & Social Infrastructure Business Group, it became clear that while e-learning could bridge gaps in knowledge, it was insufficient for mastering the 'practical practices' required of project members.

Results of Implementation The amoibe OJT program was implemented for new engineers hired in fiscal year 2025. By providing a safe, simulated environment separated from actual operations, the following results were achieved:

- **Immersive Experience**: Participants gained the confidence and immediate readiness required for real-world projects. - **Self-Directed Action**: Engineers demonstrated the ability to use AI to research and overcome challenges independently. - **Shared Communication Language**: The methodologies learned in amoibe have become a shared 'language' within the team, expected to reduce communication costs.

Comments Masaki Sakaino from ITOCHU Techno-Solutions praised the program for allowing trainees to quickly master project-member etiquette in a space separate from actual work. Hayato Shinjo, CEO of amoibe, expressed honor in supporting their transformation in talent development.
