Internship, Dual Education, and Cooperative Education Programs

The Company places importance on human resource development and support for the education sector, by providing opportunities for students to participate in internship programs to build real work experience, develop skills aligned with labor market needs, and prepare for future employment — as part of the organization's social responsibility and sustainable development operations.

In implementing such programs, the Company places them under a supervision framework that places primary importance on the safety, development, and rights of children and youth, with clear practices established to prevent the use of child labor in all forms, through the following support and promotion approaches:

• Minimum Age Designation for Interns or Youth from Dual Education Programs
  • The Company establishes minimum employment ages in compliance with labor laws and international human rights principles, and carefully verifies the age of job applicants prior to employment, to ensure that no employment below the prescribed threshold occurs.
• Designation of Scope and Nature of Work Appropriate to Age and Capability
  • Intern students will be assigned appropriate tasks, with mentor employees providing guidance, monitoring work performance, and evaluating internship results against established criteria. In addition, the Human Resources department oversees welfare, allowances, and the creation of a safe and fair work experience, in order to strengthen skills, knowledge, and appropriate work attitudes within the organization.
• Providing Opportunities for Children and Youth to Express Opinions or Report Concerns Appropriately
  • The Company provides opportunities for children and youth to express opinions or report concerns that may arise appropriately, and places importance on providing care and assistance in the event of accidents or unexpected incidents during work, to ensure that basic protection is received fairly.
