This research is to clarify the relationship between school education and workplace of human resource in scientific and technological fields. For that purpose, a survey was conducted with focus on two points : employers' expectation for school education, and impacts of changes in social circumstances upon in-house training.Firstly, the study examines managers' expectation on three dimensions of capacity of workers : skill ; knowledge and attitude.

This is because of the nature of industry which puts pressure of rapid technological innovation on companies.To sum up, in order for companies to survive in competition of technological innovation, trainability of workers would become more important from now on. The preference of managers for attitude formation can be interpreted as the preference for human resource with flexibility to adjust themselves in technological innovation. Therefore, the university graduate need to enter in labor market with highly developed trainability. To produce more students with high trainability, universities are required to improve their quality of education. Less
