Governor Nishiwaki and Mayor Matsui Promote Student Loan Repayment Support System

Kyoto Prefecture will hold the 'Summer Kyoto Job Expo 2026' on Saturday, June 13, at Miyako Messe in Kyoto, to promote corporate research and matching for students and young job seekers with companies in the prefecture that are working to create comfortable working environments. This job hunting event is aimed at university students and others aiming to work within the prefecture. Approximately 100 Kyoto companies that support diverse work styles, such as balancing work with childcare and nursing care, will exhibit. At the opening event, Governor Takatoshi Nishiwaki and Kyoto Mayor Koji Matsui will hold a talk event to promote further use of the system, following Kyoto City's decision to provide additional subsidies starting this April to the 'Employment and Student Loan Repayment Integrated Support Project' implemented by the prefecture. They will also exchange opinions with companies that have introduced the 'Student Loan Repayment Support System' as an initiative to value their employees, discussing the triggers and effects of introducing the system.
