■ The more you know about business etiquette, the better it becomes.

1. Training overview

• Students will learn the basics of knowledge, business etiquette, and how to proceed with their work as university staff, and will acquire the ability to adapt to their duties and workplaces.
• 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 the proper etiquette patterns, such as personal appearance and greetings, how to greet customers, how to make phone calls, and how to use honorific language.
• Most of the problems that occur at the places where young employees are assigned are related to speaking.
  For example, not reporting, not using honorific language, not answering the phone, making negative comments, etc.
  In other words, we will tell you how to approach “how to speak as a member of society,” which is important in educating new and young people.
  

2. Key points for training management

• By creating a flow for each item, from lectures (knowledge injection) to exercises (practical), we achieve “strengthening practical skills through input ⇒ output.” It also helps them understand that what they understand is not necessarily what they 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.

■ Higher education situation for university staff (basic)

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. It is occurring. Furthermore, unexpected situations include the outbreak of a pandemic (coronavirus), the worsening of climate change, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the occurrence of energy problems, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and the associated rise in materials, feed, and food costs. , modern society has come to face a wide variety of problems ranging from everyday life to economic activities, and this has also affected higher education.

Under these circumstances, it has become even more difficult to predict the future, and the social missions and roles that universities are expected to play have become increasingly 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 that began in April 2020 has become broader than ever before, and each university has had to deal with it, but depending on the conclusion of the ongoing debate on educational corporation governance reform, private 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 understanding these things correctly, we may be able to see the future or find hints.

In this lecture, we would like to make this a place where we can decipher the situation surrounding higher education and changes in educational policy, and look ahead to tomorrow and create the future. We hope that this lecture will help those who have taken this course to play an active role as leaders in university reform after returning to their home universities.

■ 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 study of Kyoto University Academic Research and Development Center (KURA). 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 management reform of education and research based on the use of data, such as visualizing learning outcomes and utilizing research ability 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 utilize data.

This training was aimed at people who are not good at numbers and data, or who are not used to handling data.The training was aimed at people who were not good at numbers and data, or who were not used to handling data.They were taught how to decipher the data and graphs that appear in their daily work, and how to use tables and graphs on their own. The goal is for students to understand the minimum necessary knowledge to help create 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 usage, such as entrance exams, academic affairs, and research support, and 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.

■ University Staff Career: Advancement to Graduate School and Afterwards

Those who are interested in this training are likely to have at least once thought about entering graduate school. Graduate school learning is sometimes said to be the “highest cost” for university staff. Cost includes not only money but also the time and effort spent on it. 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, will increase their motivation to go on to higher education.
