UT Aim is Participating in the Iwate Semiconductor and Electronics Industries
Promotion Conference
UT Aim Co., Ltd. is participating in the Iwate Semiconductor and Electronics Industries Promotion
Conference (I-SEP), an industry-academia-government collaboration platform aimed at promoting theintegration of semiconductor-related industries in Iwate Prefecture on June 19, 2023. UT Aim is a whollyowned subsidiary of UT Group Co., Ltd., which dispatches its regular (indefinite-term) employees toassignments in the manufacturing and engineering fields.

The I-SEP brings together semiconductor-related companies, the industrial community, educational
institutions, and support organizations in Iwate Prefecture to create opportunities for exchange andcollaboration related to the semiconductor-related industry. In addition to that, it is aimed to promote theintegration of semiconductor-related industries in Iwate Prefecture by facilitating the expansion of relatedtransactions and the location of related companies through initiatives such as improving technologicalcapabilities of local companies and developing specialized human resources. In light of the long-term
market growth potential and the subsequent needs to secure and develop human resources, UT Aim isparticipating in the I-SEP. This will allow us to better understand the issues and information ofsemiconductor companies in Iwate Prefecture, and provide support for human resource development tomeet their needs. In addition, we will strengthen cooperation with Iwate Prefecture, member organizations,and companies, increase our work on development of semiconductor human resources, and thereby
contribute to the further development of the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Having adopted a target of producing 5,000 semiconductor manufacturing equipment engineers by March
31, 2025, UT Aim is preparing to achieve that target by operating Technology Skill Development Centers,
which are specialized training facilities for the development of that specific category of engineers.1 The
centers are in four locations, in Kumamoto, Iwate, Mie, and Osaka prefectures. The facilities were opened
in response to requirements at semiconductor-related client companies. Based on an educational
curriculum that is kept up to date to the constantly changing needs of client companies and is kept
responsive to feedback from graduates, the centers primarily provide specialized education tailored to
the work processes of the client companies to which UT’s engineers are to be assigned. In addition, thecenters provide “virtual reality” training for hands-on learning. The centers train personnel to become"facility maintenance and repair engineers," a job category that the Ministry of Economy, Trade andIndustry has identified to need to strengthen, in addition to training "field engineers" and "processassistance engineers." To date, 1,778 post-training engineers2 have been assigned to client companies.

Regular (indefinite-term) employees who receive training at the Technology Skill Development Centers
include those hired from outside and UT employees who have changed their career paths. These UT
employees come from among more than 30,000 technical employees of the UT Group. Most of theparticipants coming from the UT companies have worked as operators at dispatched manufacturing sites
in industries such as automobiles and electronic components. By receiving technical training that has
been specifically planned for inexperienced engineers and is tailored to the needs of clients, they develop
their careers as engineers in the semiconductor industry, which is expected to grow over the long term.
