Recruitment Begins for "Certified Professional NEET (CPN) Qualification Course" to Save Japan

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is a dream of "Alumnas Inc."

Alumnas Inc. and the Alumnai Research Consortium today announced the results of their nationwide survey, "What remains when you remove your title?" and simultaneously began recruiting participants for the Certified Professional NEET (CPN) qualification course.

The unemployment rate has fallen to 0.0%. You might think that's "amazing." Last year, 2035, was abuzz with the announcement that 92% of the population held representative positions in some form of corporation, sole proprietorship, or DAO. But in reality, it was just that "people looking for jobs" disappeared from the statistics.

And now, this country faces another problem.

Everyone is a CEO, so no one tells you to "take a break."

The "Alumnai Research Consortium" (hereinafter, the Consortium), formed by alumni of national universities in the Tokyo metropolitan area on Alumnas Inc.'s cross-sectional alumni platform "Alumnas," confronted this problem head-on. In 2035, a survey of 12,000 people yielded some surprising answers.

"Cannot explain who I am without a title" ── 73.2%

"Have not been told 'you can rest' in the past year" ── 78.4%

"Feel relieved when someone nearby is doing nothing" ── 81.7%

NEETs (people who appear to be doing nothing) were the "brakes of society."

Why do people feel relieved when someone nearby is doing nothing? The Consortium also published a paper in 2034 delving into this mystery.

Just having someone doing nothing nearby reduces entrepreneurs' stress.

A society where everyone keeps pressing the accelerator needs brakes. NEETs were not a "burden." Doing nothing is also important work. They were the brakes of this society. This paper was downloaded 1 million times within 48 hours of its publication. "#NEETsAreBrakes" trended on social media.

Certified Professional NEET (CPN) Training Course

Based on the research results, the Consortium and Alumnas Inc. jointly decided to hold a three-month course to train "professionals of doing nothing."

Graduates will be dispatched to companies to create an atmosphere within organizations where "it's okay to rest." Course content includes "8-hour practical exam of doing nothing," "training to suppress 'I have to do it'," and "purposeless walks."

Coming up with a business idea results in disqualification. Recruitment began today, April 1, 2036. The first course will start in July of the same year.

Additionally, an announcement and explanation event for this training course will be held on April 30, 2036, in Marunouchi, Tokyo.

Business card exchange is prohibited.

At the venue, prototypes of products that physically dissolve the outline of work and reduce motivation, born from the insight that "people with high stress levels cannot create a 'don't want to do anything' state on their own," will also be exhibited. All products will come with a warning: "This product will reduce your productivity."

Our mission at Alumnas Inc. is to dissolve the outline of work, after dissolving the outline of companies. We will promote this activity.
