[5] Case studies: Basic skills for working in the era of 100-year life spans

"Basic skills for working in the era of 100-year life spans" is a new skill set proposed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for working adults. It is defined as the skills required to continue to play an active role at each stage of life in the longer-than-ever relationships with companies, organizations and society, and is made up of three perspectives (1) purpose: how to play an active role, 2) learning: what to learn, and 3) integration: how to learn), three abilities (1) ability to step forward, 2) ability to think things through, and 3) ability to work in a team), and 12 ability elements (1) initiative, 2) ability to influence, 3) ability to execute, 4) ability to identify problems, 5) ability to plan, 6) creativity, 7) ability to communicate, 8) ability to listen, 9) flexibility, 10) ability to grasp the situation, 11) discipline, and 12) ability to control stress).

In addition, in order to update these skills, it is important to constantly reflect on yourself - in other words, "experiential learning."

This e-learning course is comprised of a case drama with two new employees as the main characters, an explanatory section, and an end-of-chapter test. The case drama carefully depicts the 12 ability elements through the various business experiences the two main characters encounter on a daily basis. The explanatory section looks back on the case drama and introduces methods and ways of thinking that will help improve your skills. This will deepen the participants' understanding and lead to changes in their awareness and behavior.
