Accepting summer interns through the ABE Initiative
Based on the African Business Education Initiative for Youth (ABE Initiative) announced at the Fifth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD V) in June 2013, the Company accepted summer interns in August 2017 for the second time, following 2016. Eleven exchange students from seven African countries first gained familiarity with the Company through factory tours and boating experiences, and then held group discussions on the themes of developments with the Yamaha Clean Water Supply System and motorcycle accessories for the African market.
