Chapter 620: Chapter 526 Academy_2
Since its establishment, everything about Nestor Corporation has been based on the struggles of each individual and will never fail to pay off everyone’s efforts!
The first part is the "Professional Training Program," ensuring work-related issues.
The program is aimed at new employees aspiring to work at Nestor Corporation, allowing them to receive advanced skill training while working, starting from the age of 18. Newcomers experience the work firsthand at the company while learning. This is very beneficial for them; from the beginning of the plan, they have already become employees of Nestor Corporation, actively working on their posts, while also attending classes—thus eliminating worries of unemployment after graduation and preventing the disconnection between industry and education.
They enjoy the same benefits as formal employees. After graduation, due to their improved skills, they can smoothly get promotions and more development opportunities. If they wish to continue their education, they can also take a break from their position for 3 to 5 years of independent life and study without fearing the high cost of education or the hollow learning that wastes time; all will be supported and borne by the company.
The second part is the "Academy," ensuring opportunities for free development and self-improvement. It supports employees in active duty who yearn to learn new skills and also fosters new talents for Nestor Corporation.
In the current opinion meetings at all levels, everyone is discussing a significant need—that is, they want to receive professional and formal education, not only to improve their work capabilities but also to learn some knowledge they are interested in. However, the cost to access each knowledge base is extremely expensive, and they cannot afford to purchase it on an individual basis.
Now, Nestor Corporation has collaborated with Harutsu Education Group to solve the knowledge base and course library issues. Thanks to information technology development, distance education and online courses have lowered the threshold for learning. They don’t have to leave their positions to enter schools; they can learn in a way they find comfortable, receive personalized customized learning projects, during their free time, at fixed times on weekends, or by combining work and study.
Furthermore, people can autonomously choose the extent of their learning, from short-term training lasting a week to long-term learning plans that could last up to ten or even fifty years. Whether it is out of interest or for further education, everyone has the opportunity to learn new knowledge and gain professional certification.
With the support of this entirely new education system, Nestor Corporation will fully assist employees in learning all they should and receiving all they should, as long as they are willing, they can find more development opportunities at any time.
This also aligns with Xu Yang’s view on education: it is no longer a tool for disciplining and shaping the company’s labor force, but a social activity to cultivate individual self-qualities. Its ultimate purpose is consistent with the goals of Nestor Corporation—everyone’s free and comprehensive development, creating a "New World" of civilization and happiness.
Educated, vibrant young people will become the pillars of Nestor Corporation in the future. In this way, the company will not have to overly rely on certain individuals or a select group of elites; every employee could potentially be a manager, creator, expert, or Science Officer, or at the very least, someone competent in their position who enjoys their work! So that everyone is as powerful as a Dragon!
From plan to practice, Nestor Corporation’s education system began to expand. With Xu Yang’s support, people started to try and benefit from it.
Xu Yang believes that if one is educated to meet the needs of society and the enterprise, they are only turning themselves into a commodity to be picked and slaughtered, becoming consumables of corporate society. However, if one is learning to become a better self, there is no talk of victory or defeat, nor a distinction between useful and useless—the rest is mere free pursuit of knowledge itself, satisfaction of personal curiosity, and the exploration of one’s own potential.
...
A week after the launch of Nestor Academy and the Professional Training Program, the members of Secret Front regathered at Damu Cherry Blossom Park in Shangjing. This time it was mainly about eating, drinking, and shopping, with no fighting adventures or missions. The squad consisted of seven people: Seeking Shadow, Rinne, Lu Jing, Nidelaide, Chiyuki Sajou, Sajou Jiro, and Hosoda Yoshiyuki.
Hosoda Yoshiyuki was the tallest among them, sporting a rebellious and wild hairstyle, his demeanor cold and serious, dressed in an oversized black windbreaker.
Lately, his peculiarity had become more severe, often burst out with astounding assertions.
"We are all reeds!" Hosoda Yoshiyuki exclaimed loudly, "reeds that think."
"Only you are," Chiyuki Sajou reminded.
"Everything has changed," Hosoda Yoshiyuki announced to them, "Our existence, our value. The world is illuminated by my thoughts; without me, there would be no you."
"What are you rambling on about?" Rinne teased.
"Because I learn," Hosoda Yoshiyuki stared into Rinne’s eyes, "At the end of my life, I decided to read a little. I decided to download some files into my brain!"
"A learning device?" Rinne was curious, "To carve knowledge into your brain? Just like engraving memories? Sounds tough, I wouldn’t even want to try."
"Engraving memories is easy!" Hosoda Yoshiyuki leaned against the railing in the park, everyone else holding pink bubble milk tea, sweet fruit juice, and iced sodas; only Hosoda Yoshiyuki was here expressing his new sentiments, "Lock someone in a room, incessantly show them fake newspapers and fake news, and you can swiftly change a person’s perception. Do you think the corporation can’t do that? It’s too easy. Rather, carving knowledge is difficult, because this knowledge... goes into specific areas of your brain, creating new synapses; it’s delicate work."
"Wait a second..." Rinne snapped back to reality, "What did you mean by ’at the end of your life’ just now?"
"Cyber-mental illness," Hosoda Yoshiyuki pulled his black coat tighter, as if to hide his body riddled with holes, "My neural separation rate is as high as 30%, ha, I’ve undergone more modifications than any of you, it’s inevitable... but I’ve realized now. The world is meaningless, we are the greatest because we are alive, because we are alive, our thoughts move freely. We were hurled into this world with a bang by a machine, we never decided our birth, can’t determine our fate, but we decide what we do now and in the future... It’s so great, these thoughts! More valuable than fear and killing!"
"He downloaded an existential philosophy course from Nestor Academy into his brain, and then he became like this," Nidelaide explained, "I think it’s the ancient philosophers from the Taixi Continent that ruined him."
"I should become a philosopher too," Hosoda Yoshiyuki declared, "That is my new lifelong vocation... until the moment I go mad from the torment of cyber-mental illness, I will be a philosopher, so my soul at this very moment... is nobler than ever before, because I have decided to pause my mad dash and think!"
"You see," Rinne explained, "This is why I don’t support any kind of learning machines; the knowledge imprinted in your brain is rigid. I also learned how to draw from the academy; I just honestly watched an accelerated online course, and now I can draw ’zines."
"Outdated!" Hosoda Yoshiyuki shouted.
Rinne couldn’t be bothered with him, turned her head to see Lu Jing, raised an eyebrow, and frivolously pulled her into an embrace. Lu Jing was taken aback but didn’t choose to struggle free.
"What are you doing..." Lu Jing whispered.
"Your reward," Rinne regained the upper hand, Lu Jing felt that Rinne had completely changed, become more mature, every slight breath she took, every move she made was perceived by Rinne.
"We need to become stronger, grow and continue to be invincible," Seeking Shadow, as team leader, pulled out the mission list, "First, we’ll recruit A999, said to be more fearsome than all its predecessors. Then we’ll handle some business, go to the hospital to visit Masasuke Hazuki who has always been with his girlfriend, he’s very poor. We’ll have a picnic afterward, prepare for this year’s firework festival. We need to buy more big bangs, we’ve got 5 million now, right? Time to spend it."
Rinne looked at Seeking Shadow, who was going on and on, and felt an unusual sense of relaxation. This was her squad, her new squad, the Disciples, the Secret Front.
May this squad never perish.
