[Changing the Norms of the Construction Industry] Hayakawa Denko, an Electrical Construction Company in Saitama, Introduces a "Scholarship Repayment Support System"

Hayakawa Denko Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kōnosu City, Saitama Prefecture, President: Ryuji Hayakawa, hereinafter referred to as "Hayakawa Denko") is pleased to announce the official introduction of its "Scholarship Repayment Support System" from July 2026. This system will subsidize a total of \u00a54,320,000 over 12 years, aimed at reducing the financial and psychological burden on young employees in their 20s and 30s, and creating an environment where they can focus on their career development with peace of mind for the long term.

Background of the System Introduction: Supporting the "Past" of Youth and Illuminating their "Future"

Currently, over half of Japanese university students utilize scholarships, and the average repayment amount after graduation is said to exceed \u00a53 million. For young people in their 20s and 30s in particular, monthly repayments are a significant burden that narrows their "life choices" such as marriage, childbirth, and home ownership.

In the construction industry, amidst a persistent severe labor shortage, there is a lack of "long-term security" for young people to choose this industry as a lifelong career and dedicate themselves to honing their skills.

Hayakawa Denko operates under the slogan, "Making Construction Smarter. Making Life Extraordinary." What we offer is not just a temporary allowance. We have decided to introduce a long-term repayment support system spanning 12 years, enabling employees to work smartly with a 10- or 20-year outlook, unburdened by past debts, and to live an "extraordinary life" where they can cherish time with their families and themselves.

Overview of the "Scholarship Repayment Support System"

This system provides full support by the company, either by adding to the employee's monthly salary or by directly repaying the scholarship debt on their behalf. We expect employees to acquire "lifelong skills" at Hayakawa Denko and contribute as future management candidates for a long time. This is a supportive, long-term partnership designed for employees who plan to stay with the company for over 10 years.

● Eligible Individuals: Full-time employees aged 22 to 35 who are motivated to become future leaders of Hayakawa Denko (※Includes mid-career hires who have already graduated and those changing careers from different industries).

● Benefit Amount (Monthly): \u00a530,000

● Benefit Amount (Annual): \u00a5360,000

● Support Period: 12 years

● Total Payout: \u00a54,320,000

● Eligibility Criteria: Continuous employment for 10 years after joining the company (The system is designed to encourage employees to learn skills and thrive with commitment over the long term).

The Vision of "Intellectual Skilled Labor" Aimed for by Hayakawa Denko

We aim to transform the "gritty and tough" image of the construction industry through technology.

● Promotion of Smart Work: Introduction of remote site management through meticulous blueprint creation.

● Extraordinary Hospitality: Company trips with family, sauna training, distribution of luxurious seasonal gifts, etc.

This scholarship support system is an extension of these initiatives. By creating mental space through concrete financial support of \u00a54.32 million over 12 years, we want our employees to take their time and hone "lifelong skills (intellectual skills) that cannot be replaced by AI" to a high level during their first 10 years with the company. This is Hayakawa Denko's wish.

Comment from President Ryuji Hayakawa

"The current younger generation is extremely talented, but at the same time, they carry many anxieties. Our role is to remove those anxieties one by one. And to allow them to acquire professional skills at this company that will be valuable not just now, but 10 years from now, without worrying about immediate conditions. We want them to invest in their own potential without worrying about scholarship repayments. We hope this system will serve as an opportunity to make working in the construction industry seem like a 'smart and wise choice.'"
