(headquartered in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yuki Mizutani), which operates diversified businesses including human resources, web services, overseas medical services, M&A, and sports, has launched new Tuesday and Friday classes from the fiscal period ending May 2026 as part of an expansion of its weekday evening courses.
