Will of Work Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hideo Murakami), a comprehensive human resources service provider under the Will Group, will host a free online seminar titled "How Are Field-Ready Mechatronics Engineers Developed? — Practical Training Schemes and Staffing Solutions" on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

As the shortage of mechatronics engineers intensifies, particularly in the manufacturing sector, relying solely on hiring experienced professionals is no longer sufficient for securing talent. At the same time, while there are individuals with strong STEM backgrounds or high motivation toward manufacturing, many companies hesitate to hire, train, and onboard them due to the burden placed on on-the-job training (OJT) within their production sites.

This seminar will explain practical methods for transforming high-potential candidates into productive team members without overburdening existing staff. It will also introduce Will of Work’s proprietary training framework, through which inexperienced individuals are systematically trained to become fully capable "dispatched engineers" ready to contribute in real-world technical environments.

Additionally, the seminar will present new talent strategies that go beyond internal OJT dependency, enabling companies to maintain productivity in R&D and manufacturing operations while securing essential engineering resources.

Who Should Attend:

- HR and recruitment professionals struggling with hiring experienced mechatronics engineers and seeking alternative talent acquisition strategies

- Engineering, design, and manufacturing leaders aiming to secure skilled engineers without increasing the OJT load on their teams
