Online Seminar Announcement: Special Skills Golden Time Part 2 - Outlook for Fields with Suspended Acceptance and How to Identify the Next Growing Fields

ICHIGOICHIE CONSULTING, INC. (Headquarters: Philippines, Representative Director: Issho Miura) will hold an online seminar titled "Special Skills Golden Time Part 2 - Outlook for Fields with Suspended Acceptance and How to Identify the Next Growing Fields" on July 16, 2026 (Thursday) for companies and organizations involved in foreign worker employment.

This seminar is a follow-up to the highly acclaimed "Special Skills Golden Time - The Timing of Rapid Growth That Only Comes Once in Each Field" held on April 23, 2026.

In the previous seminar, we organized how the Specified Skilled Worker system has entered a structural growth phase due to "field expansion" and "expansion of acceptance quotas."

On the other hand, the Specified Skilled Worker system is not one-sidedly expanding, but is transitioning to a phase where the "thickness" of each field becomes clear due to the supply and demand balance of each field and the strict management of the system.

In this "Part 2" seminar, we will focus on the differences between fields in the changing institutional environment and organize from a practical perspective "which fields will enter the next Golden Time" and "what companies and registered support organizations should prepare in advance."

Background of the Event

The system is transitioning to a phase where the thickness of each field becomes clear, not just expanding

The Specified Skilled Worker system is evolving from a simple measure to address labor shortages to a "structured labor market policy" where the supply and demand balance differs for each field. While rapid influx of human resources is progressing in some fields, the progress of each field is becoming apparent due to the impact of recruitment plans, system operations, and residence management.

This change forces a redesign of recruitment timing design for accepting companies, sales strategies for registered support organizations, and country-specific strategies for sending organizations and educational institutions.

How to identify the next growing field is the key to competitiveness

In the future, it will not be enough to simply utilize the system, but it will be important to "pre-position" such as which fields are in the preliminary stage of recruitment competition, which countries and routes are not yet overcrowded with competition, and at what point to start building a pipeline.

In particular, for registered support organizations and human resources business operators, it is not "sales after the system moves" but "building relationships before the system moves" that becomes a differentiating factor.

Recommended for those who

Companies that want to design recruitment strategies using the Specified Skilled Worker system Those who want to grasp the changes in the competitive environment for recruitment by field Registered support organizations, supervisory bodies, and recruitment companies Those who want to redesign the sales strategy for foreign human resources business Those who want to strengthen cooperation with sending organizations and educational institutions Those who want to secure the next growing field of Specified Skilled Worker in advance Those who want to organize the direction of foreign worker policy in the 2026 "Basic Policy"

Part 1 "Current Status of the Specified Skilled Worker System and Interpretation of Field-Specific Growth Phases" Speaker: Representative Lawyer Shohei Sugita, Global HR Strategy Law Firm

We will organize how the Specified Skilled Worker system is transitioning to a supply and demand adjustment phase for each field, based on its legal structure and operational reality. We will also explain the logic of system expansion and adjustment for each field, the characteristics of fields where human resources are accelerating, the conditions for "growing fields" in the medium to long term, and the time axis for companies to design recruitment plans, from a practical perspective, based on the direction of foreign worker policy shown in the 2026 "Basic Policy."

Part 2 "Recruitment Design to Capture the Golden Time and Sales Strategy for Registered Support Organizations" Speaker: Issho Miura, Representative Director, ICHIGOICHIE CONSULTING, INC.

Based on changes in the system, we will explain the recruitment portfolio design required for companies and the conversion to "strategic sales" required for registered support organizations and recruitment companies.
