Message from Mayor Minamide of Izumiotsu to Applicants

Izumiotsu City is recruiting highly motivated individuals who can work together to create the future of the city.

From Izumiotsu to Japan, and to the world. A challenge to create something from nothing that will change society. Our city is promoting problem-solving model projects through public-private partnerships and citizen collaboration. We are continually launching pioneering projects that transcend the boundaries of local government, creating a 'new normal for the future.'

Through these initiatives, we are not only improving the well-being of citizens but also generating many efforts that make Izumiotsu a model for Japanese society.

We are looking for individuals who are considerate, value themselves, and can act for their team and society. Furthermore, we strongly seek those with a challenging spirit who can continue learning and growing with their colleagues.

Administration may have a rigid image, but Izumiotsu City's theme is 'public-private partnership.' We aim to be a city hall that embraces diverse perspectives, is not bound by precedent, and continually takes on new challenges.

If you are interested, we would be delighted if you would explore information about Izumiotsu and apply.

In Izumiotsu City Hall, where young people are active, the roles of women are also expanding. We are seeking colleagues who can collaborate with diverse people to create a better society together.

We look forward to your applications.
