atama plus Begins Offering Employee Education Programs to Realize Autonomous Learning for Working Adults

atama plus Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daisuke Inada; hereinafter atama plus) will begin providing custom-made employee education programs for companies. These programs support learners in studying independently and improving their practical skills through training that combines AI role-playing with knowledge acquisition.

With the goal of changing society through education and increasing the number of people who create their own futures, atama plus has provided the AI teaching material "atama+" to more than 4,500 cram schools and preparatory schools across Japan. In recent years, it has been expanding its scope and delivery methods, including the franchise expansion of "Shingaku Kobetsu atama+ Juku" and the provision of "High School-University Connection Programs" for universities.

Since its founding, the company has internally developed all of its teaching content and apps, and has continuously improved its products and services based on learning data from 1 billion total answers and feedback from the field. It thoroughly investigates learning that leads to results and focuses on designing learning experiences tailored to each individual user.

As a new initiative, atama plus is now launching employee education programs for companies. By leveraging its expertise in technology and learner-centered experience design, it aims to "increase the number of people who create their own futures" by providing working adults with learning experiences that enable them to continue learning and growing on their own.

Background of the Program

In occupations requiring specialized knowledge and customer service skills, employee development is often centered on OJT (On-the-Job Training). As a result, instruction tends to become individualized, making it take time for employees to become effective. Furthermore, on-site instructors often struggle to find sufficient time for training while busy with their own tasks, leading to inconsistencies in training quality and speed.

To address these issues, this program was developed to provide learning that enables anyone to autonomously improve their practical skills through repetitive output involving practical AI role-playing and knowledge acquisition.

Features of the Program

① Leave the practice partner to AI, significantly reducing instructor man-hours and travel costs

This will significantly reduce the time employees spend on instruction and the travel costs between locations. Because AI acts as a practice partner providing high-precision feedback, learners can reach the required level of proficiency autonomously. On-site instructors can shift to an efficient system where they monitor data and only follow up on critical points, maximizing the overall productivity of the organization.

② Addressing the root causes of "cannot do" through "AI Role-Play" and "Reinforcing Weaknesses"

The unique AI role-play is not merely a conversation partner...
