As Japanese companies in the manufacturing sector continue to globalize, the importance of cultivating global talent has grown significantly, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), where securing and developing talent has become a critical challenge. As a solution, the utilization of industry-academia collaboration internships in partnership with universities is considered effective. This study examines the potential of industry-academia collaboration global PBL (Project-Based Learning) for fostering global competencies among technical employees, using the G-DORM 2023 inbound program implemented by Niigata University as a case study. Additionally, to conduct this inference, this study organized the global competencies sought by Japanese companies today, based on prior research and the content of “Graduate Attributes & Professional Competency Profiles 4th Edition”. The findings of this study can provide valuable insights for designing training programs for technical employees utilizing industry-academia collaboration global PBL.
