Gerbera's "Gakufudo Career," Connecting Education and Recruitment in Real Estate, Signs Sponsorship Agreement with Marimo Holdings

Gerbera Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Ayuma Yoshioka, hereinafter "Our Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Marimo Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, President: Makoto Fukagawa, hereinafter "Marimo Holdings") for its real estate career support service "Gakufudo Career," which connects education and recruitment.

◼️What is Gakufudo Career?

"Gakufudo Career" is a learning service that allows users to learn real estate knowledge in a practical manner. With Gakufudo Career, users can study using AI chat functions, have their practical experience evaluated by AI, and companies can advertise to students and send recruitment scouts.

Our company's greatest strength is that students aspiring to work in the real estate industry are motivated to study and connect it to their careers.

We are developing this service using AI to reduce mismatches for students entering the real estate industry and to reduce evaluation mismatches for companies during new graduate recruitment, thereby improving retention rates.

◼️Background to Implementation

Marimo Holdings, guided by its management philosophy of "Altruism and Gratitude," is evolving into a "Social Business Company" that aims to achieve both social problem-solving and business growth, expanding into multiple fields such as regional revitalization, wellness, environment, and IT, with real estate as its core business.

On the other hand, the real estate industry still faces challenges such as:

"Students entering the industry without understanding its essence."

"Discrepancies in perception between companies and students."

"Gakufudo Career" addresses these discrepancies by providing a platform that deepens understanding of the real estate industry from the perspective of "career education," supporting students from internships to job offers and career changes.

The philosophy of Marimo Holdings, "Solving social issues with the power of humanity and business," strongly resonated with Gakufudo Career's goal of "promoting students' essential career understanding."

This led to the sponsorship participation as a partner to jointly promote the overall value of the industry and foster next-generation talent, going beyond mere recruitment support.

◼️Comments from Each Company

Yusuke Nakahama, Human Resources Department, Marimo Holdings Co., Ltd.

As a comprehensive real estate developer with roots in architectural design, Marimo (Group) values the "spirit of craftsmanship" and aims for sustainable urban development.

We have decided to introduce Gakufudo Career because we wholeheartedly want to support the many students who are interested in the real estate industry from an early stage. Gakufudo Career is a real estate career support platform where students can learn practical knowledge and acquire skills for employment or independence.

We hope to increase our touchpoints with students through Gakufudo Career and invigorate the real estate industry together.

Ayuma Yoshioka, Representative Director, Gerbera Inc.

We are extremely pleased that Marimo Holdings has joined us as a sponsor.

Despite the real estate industry being fundamentally a "valuable job deeply involved in people's lives," its appeal and essence are not sufficiently communicated to students.

Gakufudo Career aims to resolve this "discrepancy" and realize a society where students can make informed career choices.

Marimo Holdings' commitment to solving social issues and its fundamental approach to human resources align perfectly with our philosophy.

Through this initiative, we aim to create new value as partners who will shape the future of the real estate industry together, not just through recruitment support.
