■ The more you know, the easier business etiquette

1. Training outline

• You will learn the necessary knowledge, business manners, and the basics of how to proceed with work as a university employee, and acquire the ability to adapt to your duties and workplace.
• It starts with an understanding that manners are a “serious technique” for getting work done. If you think of manners as a technique for smooth work, you have to think about how you appear to others. You will learn various manners such as appearance and greetings, how to greet customers, how to make a phone call, how to use honorifics, etc.
• Most of the problems that occur in young staff assignments are related to speaking.
  For example, they don’t report, they can’t use honorifics, they don’t answer the phone, they make negative remarks, etc.
  In other words, I will tell you about the approach to “how to speak as a member of society”, which is important in educating newcomers and young people.
  

2. Points for training management

• By establishing a flow from lecture (knowledge injection) to exercise (practice) for each item, we will realize “enhancement of practical ability by input ⇒ output”. It also helps us understand that what we understand is not necessarily what we can put into practice.
• Lectures, exercises, and lecturer’s comments are incorporated at key points to keep students focused and motivated to take the course.

■ State of higher education for university staff (basics)

The current situation surrounding higher education is chaotic. In addition to the “advancement of the declining birthrate” that exceeds the national forecast, there are many changes in the elements directly related to universities, such as the evolution of the ICT environment such as DX and AI, the progress of globalization, and the revision of the course of study. is occurring. In addition, unexpected situations include the outbreak of a pandemic (coronavirus), the worsening of climate change, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the occurrence of energy problems, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and the accompanying soaring costs of materials, feed, and ingredients. , From everyday life to economic activities, modern society has come to face a variety of problems, and these problems are affecting higher education.

Under these circumstances, it has become more difficult to predict the future, and the social missions and roles required of universities have become more diverse.

On the other hand, education policy is now showing a movement that calls into question the very nature of universities. The revision of university establishment standards from April 2023 has become more extensive than ever before, and each university has been busy responding to it. Universities are required to make greater organizational changes.

What is happening in the situation surrounding higher education now? How did that happen? how was the past? By correctly understanding these things, we may be able to see the future or find hints for it.

In this lecture, I would like to make it a place to read and understand the situation surrounding higher education and changes in educational policy, and to create a future foreseeing tomorrow. We hope that all of you who have taken this lecture will find it helpful to play an active role as a leader of university reform after returning to your home university.

■ Future university staff “URA” (basic)

In recent years, research institutes such as universities have begun to place staff members specializing in research support called URAs (University Research Administrators), a “third occupation”. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are approximately 200 research institutions with URAs, and the number of URAs exceeds 1,600. In this training, we will learn about the background behind why URAs are now needed as specialists in research institutions, especially universities, what kind of work URAs actually do, and what role they play. , based on the case of the Center for Academic Research and Development (KURA), Kyoto University. We recommend taking this course for those who have problems with research promotion and research support at universities, administrative staff who want to work with URAs, and those who want to become URAs.

■ How to read and use data and graphs

In addition to improving business processes, DX (Digital Transformation) at universities is expanding to educational and research management reforms based on data utilization, such as the visualization of learning outcomes and the use of research performance indicators. On the other hand, it seems that there are many people who are not good at handling numbers or do not know how to use data.

This training is aimed at people who are not familiar with numbers and data, or who are unfamiliar with handling data. The goal is to understand the minimum necessary knowledge that is useful for creating materials while touching on the essence of data analysis and statistics.

The training will focus on lectures that use case studies of university-specific data utilization, such as entrance examinations, educational affairs, and research support, as well as mini-work using fictitious data and graphs. There is no practical skill practice using a personal computer, but the instructor will give a demonstration. Please bring back as many hints for data utilization as possible and use them at your university.

＜Achieve the target＞

• Acquire the knowledge and skills to interpret data and graphs from the standpoint of receiving information.
• Acquire the knowledge and skills to appropriately and effectively provide (convey/explain) the characteristics of obtained data from the standpoint of utilizing information.
• Understand the flow and points of the preparatory work (data collection, preprocessing, accumulation/retention, etc.) necessary for conducting business using data.

■ Project facilitation for task progress

The purpose of this training is to acquire basic facilitation methods related to team management, process management, member support, consensus building and decision making, etc., in promoting various types of projects. In the work of university staff, in addition to daily work, the frequency of project-style work with a view to medium- to long-term goals is increasing. Incorporating facilitation methods and ideas into the progress of a project encourages interaction among members and leads to the activation of a place of collaboration. Let’s learn through group work about facilitation that can be used at each participant’s site.

■ Building a safe team – mental health and line care training

Mental health line care is care that managers quickly notice their subordinates’ mental health problems and provide appropriate support such as consultation, workplace improvement, and referral to medical care. It is said that whether line care is functioning or not makes a big difference in the atmosphere of the workplace, the number of people with mental health problems, the number of job seekers, etc.

In this training, we understand the signs of mental health problems and lead to early detection. We also

cover a wide range of knowledge and attitudes that line employees should know, such as the flow of consultations and points to note when returning to work after taking a leave of absence. increase.

At the same time, from the perspective of organizational development, we will provide tips to prevent mental health problems and aim for a healthy workplace.

■ University Staff Career: Advancement to Graduate School and Afterwards

If you are interested in this training, I think that you have thought about going to graduate school at least once. Studying at a graduate school is sometimes said to be “the most expensive” for university staff. Cost includes not only money but also time and effort spent there. For us university staff, “what” and “how much” are the benefits of studying at a graduate school, which requires spending such a large amount of money? What is the same as the many skill-up training in the world and what is different? In this training, four topic providers talked about their motivations for going on to graduate school, an introduction to the graduate school they studied, the theme of their research, what they realized for the first time after entering the university, and how well they were able to balance study, work, and life at graduate school. We will talk about what happened and what didn’t go well. While listening to the real “front story” of a working graduate student, we hope that the participants will eventually accept the graduate school as their own, and if possible, increase their motivation to go on to higher education.
