Gazillion Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hidetoshi Suzuki), which operates the employment support service "ABC" utilizing casual interviews, has concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement with Global Business Professional University (Location: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Kenji Hiraiwa), operated by the educational institution Fukabori Gakuen. The purpose of this agreement is to create a more casual communication environment between recruiting companies and students. Our company supports the educational philosophy of Global Business Professional University and will continue to donate a portion of our profits to the university.

◆About Global Business Professional University

Professional universities are four-year institutions established in 2019 that provide practical vocational education in collaboration with industry. They are new higher education institutions where students are required to complete over 600 hours of internships at companies and workplaces over four years, and upon graduation, they receive a "Bachelor's" degree.

As of 2026, there are 19 professional universities, 3 professional junior colleges, and 1 professional department nationwide, fostering human resources who aim to become immediate assets and industry leaders according to their specialized curricula.

Global Business Professional University opened in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 2023. With instruction from practitioners and researchers, it offers an environment for cross-disciplinary learning in international communication, management skills development, DX/IT/AI, trade, and logistics.

The development of human resources with practical skills to succeed globally is highly significant for future industries. Our company supports the university's educational philosophy and will contribute to nurturing high-quality next-generation leaders by providing continuous donations.

◆Background of "ABC" Introduction

Close collaboration with companies is indispensable for providing practical vocational education at professional universities. Global Business Professional University is gaining attention due to expectations for its curriculum, and the number of companies wishing to accept its students is increasing. On the other hand, matching companies and students according to their values is a highly complex task, considering factors such as students in lower grades who have not yet established their career visions and the diversification of student values.

As a professional university, creating and strengthening an environment where students can encounter companies that align with their individual values is a crucial matter.

By promoting casual communication through the use of "ABC," it is expected that the matching of values and mutual understanding between students and accepting companies will be enhanced.

◆Resolving Challenges in Employment Support and Recruitment

1. Challenges for Recruiting Companies

Previously, recruiting companies could connect with students by "waiting for student applications through job postings and information sessions." However, in an increasingly employer-driven market, more companies are finding it difficult to establish contact with students. Global Business Professional University has also seen an increase in consultations from such companies, with many requesting solutions. This partnership will make it easier to connect with students, enabling a more proactive approach.

2. Challenges for Students

In interviews where companies assess student aptitude, students are often unable to ask questions that provide a clear understanding of the job content and work style after joining the company. This can lead to early job turnover due to "reality shock." "ABC" aims to provide information and casual interview opportunities, matching students and companies for mutual understanding.

Through casual conversations initiated by companies, students can have opportunities for deep mutual communication, leading to unexpected company encounters and the alignment of their values regarding work, helping them identify suitable companies.
