Overview of the business
In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming very large. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing various projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and operation, education and research support.
In the SD Workshop, through discussions with "colleagues from other companies in the same industry (staff from other universities)," new discoveries, deep awareness, and human exchange networks that cannot be obtained through lectures are created.

Job-changing groups have experience in industries such as banking, advertising, and trading companies, and together with proper staff, they form an important human resource for the university. In this workshop, based on the experiences of "career changers" who became members of the university organization due to organizational resocialization, we will consider together the characteristics of the university organization and how to foster a workplace culture where employees with different careers and specialties can recognize each other's values and abilities and demonstrate their abilities. |

Implementation Report
Report on the 3rd SD Workshop
On Saturday, December 12, Mr. Shozo Fukuoka, Director of the Career Design Center at Kyoto Seika University, was invited as a topic provider to hold the third project of "SD Workshop Training 2015" entitled "Considering the Characteristics of University Organizations: Experiences and Career Design of 'Career Change Groups' University Staff," with a total of 15 participants from member and non-member schools.
Schedule
・Explanation of the overall purpose, icebreaker
・Lecture & work on the characteristics of the university organization ・World Cafe
・Lecture & work
・Conclusion
In this workshop, based on the experience of "career change groups" who became members of the university organization due to organizational resocialization, we thought about how to foster a workplace culture where employees with careers and specialties different from the characteristics of the university organization can recognize each other's values and abilities and demonstrate their abilities, and conducted group work in the World Café format with lectures.
At the first icebreaker, I rearranged them several times, such as "order of birthday" and "earliest time to wake up in the morning," and naturally talked to the person next to me, and the training started in a friendly atmosphere early.
Participants commented that by dividing the groups into groups on the spot, and by deciding on groups by industry of their previous occupations, they were able to ask each other questions they wanted to ask and the work environment and situation of job changers at other universities.
Report on the 2nd SD Workshop
On Saturday, December 5, as the second project of "SD Workshop Training 2015," "Basics and Experience Training in Mentoring Facilitation" was held, and a total of 10 people from member and non-member schools participated.
Schedule
・Overall explanation, icebreaker
・Mentoring course & experience ・Facilitating course & experience
・Conclusion
The workshop consisted of two parts, "Mentoring Course & Experience" and "Facilitating Course & Experience", and in the first half, Mr. Yukinori Watanabe of the Human Resources Planning Division, General Affairs Department, Doshisha University gave a lecture on the basics of mentoring, citing examples from Doshisha University, and then moved on to mentoring experience. Each group has one mentor, one mentee, and two observers, and role-plays about cases such as "new employees who continue to make mistakes and are often warned by their superiors and are not energetic," "new employees who do not fit in with the work environment," "new employees who have no particular problems so far," and "new employees who are negative about the mentor system." Each group presented what they noticed through the practical experience.
In the second half, following a lecture on facilitation by Mr. Ryo Suzuki of the Cooperative Education Research and Development Center F Kobo, Kyoto Sangyo University Institute for the Promotion of Common Education, practical training was held with the aim of noticing one's own relationships and behaviors with others through facilitation experiences in a space away from daily work. One member of the group acts as a facilitator and discusses themes such as "What made me happy, what troubled, what went well, what didn't go well in the situation where I coached or consulted with junior and new employees…", "What went well and what didn't go well in the work meeting between staff…", and shared the impressions and impressions gained from it within the group. , We examined how it can be applied to daily work.
Finally, the coordinator reviewed the training program, reaffirmed its objectives, and summarized the results, promoting understanding of the training.
Participants commented, "I was able to experience mentoring and facilitation, and I was able to realize my own issues," "I was very tired of using my head because it was mainly work, but I was able to realize and learn in a short time," and "It was a serious and learning practice, but it was not formal, so I am really glad I participated." It was clear that there was a high level of satisfaction with the experience-based training with a large amount of work allocation. Thanks to the active efforts of everyone who participated, the training was even more meaningful.
