We have been examining the effects of our educational improvements since 2014 at KOSEN (National Institute of Technology) Sendai College, Hirose campus. Our students are assessed annually with the PROG (Progress Report on Generic Skills), one of the standardized tests for generic skills assessment. We have previously reported on a survey analysis of GS (Generic Skills). In this paper, the GS growth characteristics of our students on this campus for the survey through 2020 are reported. In addition, the use of the results of the ongoing survey and the plan for a new pre- entrance survey and a follow-up survey after graduation will be discussed. Furthermore, we will collaborate with universities and companies to attempt to visualize the skills that are developed in different industries (fields) after graduation. In particular, the collaboration with universities will realize the potential for effective educational collaboration not only on academic performance (knowledge-based), but also on technical skills (skill-based). For collaboration with companies, on the other hand, this project will help companies to train their employees according to their needs and reduce the mismatch in career paths. From 2020, Hirose Campus will be promoting collaboration on GS research with the two universities of technology in Toyohashi and Nagaoka, both of which have a strong affinity with the KOSEN. We will report on the concept and future plans for academic improvement, including strengthening of collaboration, growth changes in students’ behavioral characteristics through continuous analysis, collaboration from KOSEN to universities, and improvement of KOSEN education through feedback from universities.
