UT Aim is Participating the Kyushu Semiconductor
Human Resources Development Consortium
UT Aim Co., Ltd. participates in the Kyushu Semiconductor Human Resources Development Consortium,
an industry-academia-government organization that fosters human resources development for thesemiconductor sector. UT Aim, which is engaged in the Manufacturing Business segment of the Group,
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UT Group Co., Ltd. which dispatches its regular (indefinite-term)
employees to assignments in the manufacturing and engineering fields

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 feedback
from graduates, the centers primarily provide specialized education tailored to the work processes of theclient companies to which UT’s engineers are to be assigned. In addition, the centers provide “virtualreality” training for hands-on learning. The centers train personnel to become "facility maintenance andrepair engineers," a job category that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has identified aslacking a sufficient number of qualified persons, in addition to training "field engineers" and "processassistance engineers." To date, 1,552 post-training engineers2 have been assigned to client companies.

Regular (indefinite-term) employees who receive training at the Technology Skill Development Centers
are not only recruited externally, but also those who have changed their career paths from among morethan 30,000 technical employees of the UT Group. And most of them 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 tailoredto the needs of clients, they develop their careers as engineers in the semiconductor industry, which isexpected to grow over the long term.

Kyushu is expected to face a shortage of 1,000 engineers every year over the next 10 years. By
participating in the Kyushu Semiconductor Human Resources Development Consortium, the UT Groupwill strengthen cooperation with various organizations and companies to develop semiconductor-relatedhuman resources in Kyushu and will contribute to the further development of the semiconductor-relatedindustry.
