Adecco Begins Operating Tokyo Foundation for Work's "FY2026 Tokyo Shigoto Juku"

Adecco K.K. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenji Hirano), the Japanese subsidiary of the Adecco Group, a global leader in human resource services, and its workforce solutions brand Adecco, has been commissioned by the Tokyo Foundation for Work to operate the "FY2026 Tokyo Shigoto Juku" (hereafter "Tokyo Shigoto Juku"). Through the operation of "Tokyo Shigoto Juku," Adecco will support job seekers aged 30 to 54 in securing full-time employment and promote job retention and stable employment. Currently in Japan, not only is the number of unemployed individuals in the middle-aged and older demographic still high, but the number of workers in non-full-time employment against their will also exceeds double digits (*1), raising concerns of this situation becoming permanent. This has led to widening income gaps based on employment type and difficulties for the long-term unemployed to re-enter the workforce. Additionally, many job seekers are unable to engage in upskilling or reskilling due to various factors, necessitating continuous support. Through "Tokyo Shigoto Juku," Adecco will provide a two-month work-based learning program to help participants acquire the practical skills needed for full-time employment. It will also create opportunities for full-time employment by matching participants with companies. Furthermore, after employment, Adecco will conduct workplace visits and retention support courses to promote stable employment. Adecco has a proven track record of operating numerous projects commissioned by local governments and organizations. Leveraging its long-cultivated expertise in supporting middle-aged workers, Adecco will continue to expand employment opportunities for this generation and contribute to corporate growth. *1: Calculated by extracting data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Statistics Bureau's "Labour Force Survey (Detailed Tabulation)" (2023 average) for those who cited "No opportunity for a regular staff or employee position" as the main reason for their current employment status.
