Younger employees as well as the personnel needed to develop business operations are posted overseas. This serves the medium to long-term goal of giving them experience of working overseas. Employees are invited to apply for positions and the successful applicants are selected based on their ambition and motivation. The program commenced in the year ending March 2015, and employees have so far served placements in Indonesia, Taipei, and with JICA.
