Charming Care is expanding its activity recording and certification program, "Q Care," to include general students and parents.

General Incorporated Association Charming Care (Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Mizuho Ishijima) will begin accepting general applications for its "Volunteer / Contract Work Development Program" for high school and university students from March 30, 2026. In addition, participation in this program will become a mandatory requirement for parent ambassadors who have been active until now. This program utilizes the Q Care tool, independently developed by Charming Care, to record and visualize the process of activities. Following the先行 recruitment for a special program targeting high school and university students with consideration needs, which began on March 25, 2026, this expansion will now include general students and parent ambassadors.

In 2021, they launched employment support for parents and, through interviews with a total of 80 individuals and actual support, have accumulated knowledge that sustainable employment is only possible when conditions such as "full remote, own pace, and spare time" are met.

While supporting parents in their "work," the issue of further education and employment for children with illnesses or disabilities became apparent. For students with consideration needs, the existing part-time job market primarily consists of customer service and standing jobs, presenting different physical limitations and making it difficult for children with medical appointments to participate. Furthermore, for students living in rural areas, there are structural issues that make it difficult to create opportunities for internships and social activities. <iframe id="youtube-ab6562f023a632f98dec74eb4f4ece91-6769" type="text/html" width="640" height="39
