Next Mission Co., Ltd. Achieves 20 Million Yen "Perfect ALL" on YouTube Program "Reiwa no Tora"

Next Mission Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Koichiro Ando, Takayoshi Mori) announced that its representative directors, Koichiro Ando and Takayoshi Mori, appeared as applicants on the YouTube program "Reiwa no Tora" and presented their career support and recruitment business specializing in retired Self-Defense Forces personnel.

During the program, they articulated their desire to "create a society where former Self-Defense Forces personnel can live with pride even after retirement." They successfully achieved a "Perfect ALL," receiving unanimous approval from all participating 'Tigers' (investors) for their requested amount of 20 million yen.

Koichiro Ando had previously appeared on "Reiwa no Tora" as a 'Tiger' (investor), but this was his first time appearing as an applicant. Together with Takayoshi Mori, a former Ground Self-Defense Forces member, they unveiled a new initiative to connect the mission accomplishment skills, discipline, sense of responsibility, leadership, and organizational adaptability of retired JSDF personnel to the recruitment needs of private companies.

Background of the Appearance

Through rigorous training and missions, Self-Defense Forces personnel cultivate abilities such as discipline, responsibility, teamwork, crisis response, and stress resilience, which are highly valuable in private companies.

However, in their post-retirement careers, their experience and abilities are often not adequately conveyed to private companies, leading to limited career options.

Next Mission Co., Ltd. addresses this challenge by articulating the experience of former JSDF personnel as "strengths applicable in companies" and aims to achieve highly satisfactory matching for both companies and retired JSDF personnel.

This appearance on "Reiwa no Tora" served as an opportunity to make our vision known to a wider audience and to broadly communicate the potential of retired JSDF personnel to society.

What Next Mission Aims For

Next Mission aims to provide "possibilities" and "options" and to realize a society where former Self-Defense Forces personnel can live with pride even after retirement.

Our company supports retired JSDF personnel by organizing their past experiences and achievements in a way that resonates with private companies, thereby expanding their career options.

Furthermore, we provide comprehensive support to companies, from hearing their recruitment needs, organizing job requirements, candidate matching, interview and selection support, to post-employment follow-up.

Beyond merely introducing job opportunities, we visualize the experience cultivated by former JSDF personnel as "human resources capable of excelling in companies," simultaneously solving companies' recruitment challenges and retired JSDF personnel's career challenges.

Message Conveyed on "Reiwa no Tora"

During the program, Koichiro Ando and Takayoshi Mori advocated for the necessity of a system that correctly evaluates the abilities of retired JSDF personnel and utilizes them across society.

Self-Defense Forces personnel gain extensive experience in fields that support Japanese society, such as national defense and disaster relief. However, because their experience is not adequately organized to show how it can be utilized in private companies after retirement, it results in significant lost opportunities for both the individuals and the companies.

Next Mission addresses this challenge by translating the experience of former JSDF personnel into business language and delivering it to corporate recruitment sites, thereby expanding the potential of overlooked talent.

Representative Comments

Representative Director Koichiro Ando

I have previously appeared on "Reiwa no Tora" as a 'Tiger,' but this time I stood as an applicant myself to convey Next Mission's vision and business.

The sense of responsibility, discipline, leadership, and mission accomplishment skills possessed by former JSDF personnel are capabilities that can greatly contribute to the growth of companies. However, there is a current situation where their value is not correctly communicated to private companies.

The "Perfect ALL" of 20 million yen we received this time is not only a testament to Next Mission's business viability but also an expression of expectation for the potential of retired JSDF personnel.

We will create a new recruitment infrastructure connecting retired JSDF personnel and companies, thereby changing the way human resources are utilized in Japan.

Representative Director Takayoshi Mori

As a former Self-Defense Forces member, I have felt the frustration that the experience cultivated in the JSDF is not adequately valued in society.

JSDF personnel acquire the ability to collaborate with colleagues in challenging environments and complete assigned missions to the end. This ability can certainly be utilized in private companies.

Through Next Mission, I want to create a society where retired JSDF personnel can proudly move on to their next career, believing "I have value."

We hope that this appearance on "Reiwa no Tora" will serve as an opportunity for more retired JSDF personnel and companies to learn about our initiatives.
