ImaCreate Co., Ltd. is expanding its highly successful "Generative AI Utilization Course" nationwide as part of its "Digital Talent Development Program for Residents," which is offered in partnership with local governments across Japan.
The course, which was piloted in select municipalities during fiscal year 2025, received extremely positive feedback from both local government officials and participants for its practical, job-oriented content. A recent survey found that 62.5% of municipalities listed "Generative AI" as a desired future course, indicating strong demand. In response, ImaCreate is scaling up the program to offer this specialized curriculum to municipalities nationwide.
**Background: The Synergy of Generative AI and Regional Revitalization**
Since fiscal year 2024, ImaCreate has supported 66 municipalities with the introduction and operation of generative AI. At the request of these local governments, the company incorporated a generative AI skills curriculum into its digital talent program in some areas for fiscal year 2025.
In the pilot municipalities, revamping the program to focus on generative AI led to a twofold increase in the highest participant satisfaction ratings ("very satisfied") compared to the previous year. Participants rated it as the "most useful course" due to its concrete and practical nature.
Consequently, approximately half of the participants demonstrated tangible behavioral changes after the course, such as starting job searches, considering freelance work, or securing employment contracts. As generative AI was proven to be a powerful tool in helping participants take the "first step toward working," the company has established a system for nationwide delivery.
**Initiative Details: Enhancing Earning Potential with Generative AI**
The following proven content from the pilot program will be offered as course options:
- Prompt Technology: Learn basic generative AI operations and effective instruction skills, including creating structured prompts for high-precision answers, applying techniques for role-specific outputs, and mastering instruction patterns to improve AI response quality.
- Practical Business Skills: Automate business email creation based on context and tone, summarize and extract key points from long documents, automatically organize decisions and tasks from meeting notes, and generate content from scratch, such as event plans and blog posts.
- AI Literacy: Gain essential knowledge for safe and appropriate business use, including understanding AI hallucinations, practicing fact-checking, learning basic security measures to prevent information leaks, and acquiring knowledge for proper use while avoiding copyright and ethical risks.
**Future Outlook**
The talent development needs of municipalities are shifting from mere skill acquisition to skills that lead to actual monetization. In fiscal year 2026, ImaCreate will expand the digital talent development program, including the generative AI curriculum, nationwide. The company will promote the implementation of a model that integrates everything up to the creation of employment opportunities in more municipalities, aiming to create sustainable local jobs using telework and generative AI.
**Features of ImaCreate's Digital Talent Development Service**
The company's service for municipalities is a practical program that goes beyond teaching IT skills to cultivate talent that can support the local economy. To address the challenge of a declining workforce, it aims to establish a sustainable employment model by increasing the number of individuals within the region who can work from anywhere using digital technology. Key features include:
