track and field athlete, is sure to have a major impact on the future of these impressionable young people. This initiative began in Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima prefecture and has also been conducted at Kashiwa in Chiba prefecture and Kikuchi in
Kumamoto prefecture. University students have participated as tutors together with
active seniors and this school has evolved as people from diverse age groups have
built it up.
Various schools specializing in a particular field have become available too. A
Platinum Energy School was held for junior and senior high school students to consider energy-saving and energy-creating in the town of Noheji in Aomori prefecture
and also in Saitama prefecture. A Platinum Public Health Nurse School focusing on
community health has begun in Fukuoka prefecture at Hisayama town which is the
largest base for epidemiological research in Japan. In Tokyo, results of the fusion
with administration can be observed.
The human resources development program has become quite substantial in
terms of both quality and quantity. However, it had its start in just one platinum seed
in the Platinum Society School. That seed travelled across different fields, generations, and communities as it put out new buds and roots and began to grow. There
are still many platinum seeds lying dormant in the community. It would be ideal if
the graduates of the Platinum Society human resources development program could
find the seeds and help them to grow.
