Support for Future Generations
Citizen Watch and Citizen Machinery are aiming to develop the future of Japan’s manufacturing industry by providing the children who will lead coming generations with opportunities to feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with creation and to learn new things.
In order to ensure that children can live long lives with healthy legs, we offer all of the students at nearby elementary schools opportunities to learn about the science of walking.
In addition to offering online vocational classes to junior high school students throughout Japan, we are also providing them with opportunities to think about working by allowing students from nearby junior high schools to participate in work experience programs.
Results
2022 9 schools Approx. 770 students
2023 9 schools Approx. 550 students
By donating machinery to nearby high schools, we are providing industrial and technical students, who will lead the next generation of manufacturing, the opportunity to become familiar with our automatic lathes and master the latest machining techniques. Our hope is that this will allow them to develop the expertise, flexible thinking, and practical skills needed to contribute to the development of manufacturing around the world.
