Kinden Corporation / Company Profile / Human Resources Development and Training

Dedicated "to the integrated development of mind, skills and body"

The Kinden Technical Training Center was established in 1954 to train Kansai Electric Power technicians. And today, over half a century later, it remains dedicated to the goals it was founded to achieve - integrating the mind, skills and body of every trainee who passed through its gates.

Located on a spacious site of almost 19,000 square meters, the Center features a complete lineup of educational and training equipment, systems and facilities designed to provide new Kinden employees with a thorough working understanding of the network and general construction of electrical systems . But whatever the individual contents, all training programs are structured around three basic principles - maximizing quality, safety and efficiency.

Cooperating in technology transfers overseas

Kinden has been actively involved in training overseas personnel since 1972. Since then we have accepted hundreds of trainees from Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam. These trainees have gone on to play important roles in their countries' electrical construction engineering industries, often serving as civilian goodwill ambassadors and business liaisons based on their understanding of Japan.

Graduation ceremony at the Kinden Classroom in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

In 1994, Kinden opened the Kinden Classroom at the Le Thi Hong Gam Vocational Training Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here, Kinden instructors provided students with lectures and hands-on training in general internal wiring and power transmission lining. Although this program was discontinued in 2003, they produced a select group of almost 200 graduates who have gone on to become engineers in their native country. At Kinden, we're proud of role in helping these promising young men and women become tomorrow's leaders - a role for which Kinden's efforts have been highly acclaimed by the Vietnamese government.
