Overseeing overseas youth cooperation groups is just one activity that the International Cooperative Business Association is involved in. Basically these groups transfer technology overseas while working with people on-site and performing business overseas. Participating in this project will give young people at NTT a chance to experience other countries while simultaneously promoting the internationalization of technology. NTT participated in these groups starting the year after commencement, and we hope to aggressively support them. We plan to support participating members by giving them two year paid leave and then having them return to their original job at the end of their tour of duty. Many employees, especially those in the telephone communications field, participated in this project.
