## Toward a society where childcare workers can be prouder of their work
Our company supports "April Dream," an initiative to make April 1st a day to announce dreams.
This press release is the dream of Career Field Co., Ltd.
Career Field Co., Ltd. (https://www.career-f.com/) has been specializing in the childcare industry since its establishment in 2005, providing recruitment support, education programs, and training services. With a transaction base of 2,600 companies and 5,100 facilities, including authorized daycare centers, kindergartens, and certified children's centers, we are committed to building a system that not only "gathers" but also "nurtures" childcare workers through the operation of childcare human resource media, support for childcare worker qualification acquisition, and support for childcare human resources in local governments. Through these practices, we aim to improve the social status of childcare workers.
## ■The background to wanting to realize this dream
Childcare workers are specialists with national qualifications in the childcare field who support the growth of children.
At the same time, they are also an integral part of the social infrastructure that supports parents' employment and sustains local communities.
However, society's understanding and evaluation of the importance and specialization of their work are still insufficient.
We believe that the shortage of childcare workers is not merely a difficulty in recruitment, but a challenge stemming from the fact that the value of their work has not been sufficiently conveyed to society.
Therefore, what is needed is not just to gather people, but to elevate the value of the childcare worker profession itself within society.
## ■What is the improvement of the social status of childcare workers?
Improving the social status of childcare workers is not merely about improving their image.
- Their expertise being correctly understood by society
- Being chosen as a desired profession
- Each individual working on site being able to feel pride
We believe that only through the accumulation of these factors will the social status of childcare workers truly improve.
## ■Our past initiatives
In the past, in addition to providing specialized recruitment support for the childcare industry, we have continued to take on the challenge of not only "gathering" but also "nurturing" childcare workers through initiatives such as building systems for fostering childcare human resources within local communities, creating environments where people can aim to acquire childcare qualifications while working, and increasing opportunities to experience childcare work.
Connecting aspiring childcare workers with workplaces through the operation of childcare human resource media.
Fostering new childcare workers within local communities through qualification acquisition support.
Re-evaluating the securing of childcare human resources not as a problem for individual facilities, but as a problem for the entire region, through collaboration with local governments.
The "improvement of the social status of childcare workers" that we aim for lies on the extension of each of these practices.
## ■What we will achieve from now on
We will work to improve the social status of childcare workers by engaging with local governments, childcare training schools, and local communities.
