In addition, the intellectual entertainment group "QuizKnock" operated by baton Inc. will participate in this project as a special partner, aiming to improve practical crime prevention literacy for high school students nationwide starting from Shibuya.
■ Overview of the "Shibuya Zero Dark Part-time Job Project"
This project aims to eliminate the involvement of young people in "dark part-time jobs" and realize a society where all job seekers can work safely and true to themselves.
- Purpose:
To protect high school students from increasingly sophisticated solicitation methods and to improve "practical crime prevention literacy" to prevent the damage of unconsciously participating in crimes.
- Background of starting from "Shibuya":
1. High contact risk
A recent survey conducted by the Company revealed a serious reality that 1 in 4 high school students in Tokyo has come into contact with information suspected to be a dark part-time job.
2. Collaboration with "Shibuya Good Manner Project"
The policy of this project, which strengthens the acquisition of the ability for young people to discern information, aligned with the "Shibuya Good Manner Project" (*1) promoted by Future Design Shibuya aiming to create a safe and secure city and solve social issues. As a result, it was agreed to tackle this as part of the same project through public-private partnership.

Creating an educational video in a three-choice quiz format to learn the points of spotting "dark part-time jobs" from realistic job titles.
