TOKYO (AFX) - Japan's business and academic communities are set to cooperate in a project to fill the shortage of software engineers and boost the global competitiveness of Japan's manufacturing and service industries, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported, citing sources close to the matter.
Among the participants are universities nationwide, the Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) and 14 major information technology-related companies, the newspaper said.
Under the scheme, the nation's largest business lobby will encourage universities to set up graduate courses dedicated to the training of software engineers.
Corporate participants, including Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC Corp, IBM Japan Ltd, NTT Data Corp and NS Solutions Corp, will provide engineers to serve as full-time and part-time lecturers, it said.
Toyota Motor Corp and Sony Corp will do the same in an effort to strengthen the country's ability to develop software that can be incorporated into automobiles, household appliances and other products, the report said.
