■ Business etiquette that becomes easier to understand the more you know

1. Training Overview

• Students will learn the necessary knowledge, business etiquette, and basic work procedures for university staff, and acquire the ability to adapt to their duties and workplace.
• It starts with understanding that manners are an important technique for getting work done. If you think of manners as a technique for smoothly progressing your work, you must consider how you appear to others. You will also thoroughly learn the various “patterns” of manners, including appearance and greetings, how to greet customers, how to make phone calls, and how to use honorific language.
• Most of the problems that young employees encounter at their new workplaces 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 teach you how to approach “speaking like a working adult,” which is important when training new and young employees.

2. Key points for training management

• By establishing a flow from lectures (instilling knowledge) to exercises (practice) for each topic, we will achieve “input ⇒ strengthening practical ability through output.” It will also help students understand that understanding does not necessarily mean they can put it into practice.
• Lectures, exercises, and instructor comments are incorporated at key points to keep students focused and motivated.

■ If you can see the problem, you can understand the job! – Tips for problem analysis

“What are the ‘problems’ you are facing at work?”
We often use the word “problem” casually, and we shape our work by considering, identifying, and sharing these issues. For this reason, how we perceive and understand a “problem” is a major factor in determining the work we do.
However, for many people, the way they perceive and understand a “problem” varies widely, and they are not particularly taught by anyone. This situation can sometimes make the purpose and goals of work unclear, or cause discussions to become disjointed, creating hurdles to moving work forward.
In particular, if you have the following concerns in your daily work, this training will teach you how to organize the various meanings of “problems” and create clearer work goals!

• I have doubts about my current situation at work, but I’m not sure what the problem is.
• Discussions about improving work in teams often go nowhere
• I am not satisfied with the effectiveness of dealing with work problems

■ Creating a team where members can “grow”
– Learning about autonomous human resources from Protean career theory

What kind of team is a “team where members can grow”?
There are many different ideas, such as a vibrant team, a team with clear goals, a team where members can cooperate, a team where psychological safety is guaranteed, etc. If we focus on the behavior of individual members, one solution is to aim for a team where members work autonomously and independently.
In this training, we will learn an approach using the concept of career development based on Protean Career Theory to create a team filled with such autonomous members. In addition to members’ career development, we will also consider issues related to the career development of leaders and managers themselves. Based on the
above purpose, this training is recommended for people who have the following concerns:

• I just became a leader and I don’t know what kind of team I should aim for.
• Members aren’t growing as expected
• I don’t know how to encourage team members to be independent.

■ Visualize what’s going on in your head! How to use mind maps

This training will teach participants the basics of how to draw and use mind maps, a thinking tool useful for all aspects of brain function, including organizing thoughts, generating ideas, and remembering, and will enable them to apply this knowledge to their daily work.
Mind maps were invented by British educator Tony Buzan about 50 years ago and have since spread around the world. Numerous books and software programs are now available, and the tool is used in school education and training at major corporations.
These colorful, illustrated notebooks are fun to look at, and once you start drawing with them, you’ll be amazed at how convenient they are. This course will teach participants how to draw and use authentic, hand-drawn mind maps, helping to improve their work efficiency.

■ University management and operations as seen through school corporation accounting

As the declining birthrate continues, talk of M&A between universities is on the rise, and an era of shakeout is becoming a reality. It is therefore essential for private university staff to understand the basics of school corporation accounting. Have you ever looked at financial statements for your own school or another school? Many people, even when they do open the financial statements, find it difficult to know which numbers to look at, or whether the school corporation is doing well or not. Through this training, you will learn the basics of school corporation accounting, learn how to read financial statements, and acquire the ability to understand the financial condition of the school corporation.

■ University staff work, the path to obtaining subsidies

Departments responsible for grants vary depending on the type of grant and the organizational structure of each university, but is it really the case that grant management can be left to the department in charge?
This program recognizes that proactively pursuing grants leads to better school management, and aims to provide as clear and detailed information as possible about subsidies related to private universities and junior colleges, including the Private University Operating Expense Subsidy, so that all staff, regardless of department, can participate in the process.
Obtaining grants is a battle for a limited pie, but if each university, including member universities and junior colleges of the Kyoto University Consortium, competes with each other and effectively utilizes grants to advance education and research, we hope to gain social trust in higher education institutions and open up new prospects. We hope to share information about the current situation on your campus and learn together, as time permits.

■ Future university staff “Academic Advisor” (Basics)

A variety of support measures have been implemented both within and outside of the curriculum to support students’ independent learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the environment and learning styles surrounding students, making individualized support more important than ever. Not only faculty but also staff members play a role in promoting student learning and growth. What kind of support can staff members who frequently interact with students outside of the curriculum provide?
This training focuses on academic advising, which is support tailored to the needs of individual students. Through discussions among participants and case-based group work, participants will have the opportunity to consider how university staff can utilize their unique capabilities to provide support, and what knowledge and skills are required to achieve this.

■ The forefront of preventing dropouts

Dropping out is not only detrimental to students’ learning, growth, and career development, but also has a negative impact on university management. Specifically, it results in lost tuition fees due to a decline in enrollment and a tarnished university brand.
This training aims to improve universities’ ability to prevent dropouts by understanding the reality of dropouts and learning effective ways to address them.
The target participants are university staff in the Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Admissions departments involved in pre-enrollment education, first-year education, remedial education, and student support, as well as faculty in related positions.
Preventing dropouts requires collaboration between departments. While individual participation is welcome, we recommend participating as a team of several people.
