Adecco Launches Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'FY2026 Reskilling Promotion Project'

Adecco, a workforce solutions brand of Adecco Japan (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenji Hirano), a subsidiary of the global HR leader Adecco Group, has been commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to operate the 'FY2026 Reskilling Promotion Project.' Through this project, Adecco will provide support for reskilling to employees across various employment types, job seekers, and companies aiming to upskill their workforce. In recent years, the advancement of digitalization and DX has led to the obsolescence of traditional job skills. Furthermore, the spread of generative AI suggests that labor demand for certain roles, such as administrative positions, may decrease in the future. Conversely, the decline in the working-age population due to the aging society has exacerbated labor shortages, making the upskilling of existing talent essential. As the demand for higher-level skills and labor shortages progress simultaneously, the importance of reskilling has never been greater. For individuals such as those in the 'employment ice age' generation or women working in non-regular employment, acquiring new skills through reskilling is expected to lead to full-time employment, expanded career opportunities, and higher wages, making it a crucial initiative for individual career autonomy. Through this project, Adecco will launch a new reskilling portal site to provide information and consultation services. For individuals, the company will offer diagnostic content and seminars to explain the significance of reskilling, along with online individual consultations to support behavioral change. For companies, Adecco will provide seminars on the latest trends and practical case studies, as well as expert consultations to help define reskilling strategies tailored to each company's situation. Adecco has a proven track record of managing numerous projects commissioned by local governments and organizations. Leveraging its long-standing expertise in reskilling support, the company remains committed to supporting the career development of all workers and the growth of businesses.
