TOKYO, January 15, 2026 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will launch the Talent Mobility System to match employees with jobs in the company’s global group in order to develop, mobilize and engage top talent. It will also revise the Global- On the Job Training (G-OJT) System to provide young employees with deeper overseas work experiences compared to those of conventional overseas temporary-training programs.
Mitsubishi Electric, which employs approximately 150,000 people at more than 200 Group companies around the world, is promoting initiatives that maximize the development, sharing and utilization of knowledge and abilities in its diverse and versatile workforce, as well as the allocation, utilization and development of employees across countries, regions and business sites. The company expects the newly announced systems to accelerate efforts to assign, develop, and utilize employees with diverse knowledge and abilities throughout the Group, with the goal of transforming Mitsubishi Electric into an “innovative company” that creates value with new ideas without fear of risk.
About Talent Mobility System
Mitsubishi Electric promotes the allocation and utilization of employees across countries, regions and business sites, particularly management candidates from overseas Group companies. In many cases, mid-level and young employees of overseas Group companies are only utilized within their respective offices. Through the Talent Mobility System, the company will quickly grasp and share information on top talent throughout the Group, accelerating their development and motivation by creating opportunities for borderless career expansion.
For job matching, the company will select candidates from overseas Group companies and match them optimally with available jobs across countries, regions and sites. Mitsubishi Electric’s Global Human Resources Div. and Regional HR offices, which handle human resources strategies and measures tailored to the characteristics of each region in the Americas, EMEA,* China, Asia and other regions, serve as the hub for candidate matching. By the fiscal year ending in March 2027, Mitsubishi Electric aims to fill 80% of open key positions with internal candidates.
About the G-OJT System
For about 50 years, Mitsubishi Electric has been running an overseas training program to develop global human resources by dispatching mainly young Japanese employees to overseas Group companies for one-year periods. Previously, emphasis was placed on cross-cultural experiences and language acquisition, but the revised G-OJT System will clarify the mission at each host company and focus on providing deeper work experiences through work overseas, which will strengthen the development of human resources who can play active roles globally.
The company plans to dispatch approximately 80 employees annually, each of whom will be responsible for engineering, sales, or other work at Group companies in more than 20 countries, including the United States, India, Thailand and China.
