Tech Mentor Launches Career Support Page to Assist Unexperienced Individuals in Transitioning to Web Engineering Roles | Full-Scale Rollout of Career-Direct Mentorship Beyond Just Learning

Tech Mentor Career Support

if Inc. (Nakano-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "the Company"), which operates the online programming school "Tech Mentor," has launched a career support page detailing its job transition assistance initiatives and services.

This school is an online program designed for individuals aiming to transition their careers to Web Engineers and Web Designers from inexperienced backgrounds, offering a custom curriculum and one-on-one support from active engineers.

In response to concerns such as "I learned programming but couldn't find a job," "I don't know where to learn," and "I lack the habit of studying," Tech Mentor operates under the concept of "not ending with just learning," providing a comprehensive support system from portfolio creation to job offer acquisition. With the launch of this page, we aim to further expand the number of successful job transitions.

Amidst Accelerating IT Talent Shortage, the Barrier to "Entry-Level Job Transitions" Remains High

According to estimates by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan could face a shortage of up to 790,000 IT professionals by 2030. On the other hand, for those aspiring to become engineers from inexperienced backgrounds, three major hurdles persist: "not knowing where to learn," "lacking study habits," and "not knowing how to proceed with job searching."

Tech Mentor has many students in their 20s to 40s who wish to change careers from different industries. Some have joined after experiencing "failed job transitions due to insufficient learning at other schools" or "frustration from not knowing how to build practical applications through self-study."

Against this backdrop, by defining both skill acquisition and practical application as steps within a single program aimed at "successful job transitions," we achieve a high success rate.

Reasons for Achieving a 96% Job Transition Success Rate

*The 96% job transition success rate applies to individuals who have created a portfolio and engaged in job searching and client acquisition activities.

POINT 1 | Custom Learning Plan Designed with the Job Transition Goal as the Starting Point

Starting from the desired job type (e.g., front-end, back-end, web production) and specific job openings, we create a curriculum that selectively focuses on necessary skills. Based on the desired transition timing, such as "start applying in Month X" and "receive a job offer by Month Y," we design the entire process from basic learning to portfolio implementation and application start on a monthly basis.

POINT 2 | Dual Support from Active Engineers and Career Coaches

For learning, active engineer mentors provide one-on-one support, while dedicated career coaches offer parallel guidance on career aspects. This creates an environment where technical questions can be resolved immediately and a system for timely review of job transition strategies. Weekly mentoring sessions manage progress and maintain motivation, minimizing the dropout rate.

POINT 3 | Portfolio Implementation Support that Impresses Hiring Managers

Dedicated mentors provide end-to-end support from planning and design to development and release. With unlimited reviews, we help create original applications that capture the attention of hiring managers.

POINT 4 | Comprehensive Job Search Support, Including Resume Review, Interview Preparation, and Job Referrals

During the job search phase, dedicated career coaches handle the following:

Support in selecting job offers that align with career goals, ensuring no mismatches.

Review of resumes, work histories, self-promotion statements, and proposal documents (compatible with various platforms like Wantedly).

Instruction on how to write applications that are successful for candidates aged "30 and over," "with career gaps," or "new to IT."

Thorough feedback on response content, delivery, and expressions through mock interviews (online).

Priority referrals to companies that are advantageous for career development, such as those offering "development experience" or "training" (including unlisted positions).
