A science student called “Rikejo” is going to be used as a reference for choosing a course, and in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, where the precision equipment industry is thriving, a tour of companies where female engineers are active was held on the 20th. It was.

Over 20 female students of so-called “Rikejo” studying at universities in Tokyo participated in the tour opened by Suwa City, and on the 20th, they bused three companies in Suwa City, which produce optical instruments and precision parts. I went around.

Among these companies, companies that make binoculars and rifle scopes, etc., visit factories under the guidance of female employees, and many female engineers work for parts assembly work. Female employees account for 30%. I received explanations.

In addition, a female engineer engaged in lens design introduced a finished product such as binoculars, and the female students asked, "What did you learn when you were a student?" The first-year female student who participated said, “I came from Suwa and wanted to know about the local company. It was very fresh.”

Another student said, “I'm not sure what I want to do in the future, so I wanted to find a job that suits me.
