Japan Project Solutions Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Daisuke Ito), a specialist in project management, recently welcomed SoHyun Kang, Regional Managing Director, Asia Pacific of the Project Management Institute (PMI), to its office. Through this courtesy visit, both parties reaffirmed their relationship and agreed to further strengthen activities to support PMP® certification acquisition in Japan.
This visit served as a symbolic occasion to demonstrate JPS's ongoing commitment as a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP). JPS has consistently provided high-quality educational opportunities for individuals and corporations aiming for PMP® certification, building a deep bond of trust with PMI.
In recent years, interest in PMP® certification has continued to rise across a broad spectrum of fields beyond the IT industry, including manufacturing, construction, healthcare, R&D, consulting, and the public sector. Furthermore, with the advancement of AI and the penetration of Digital Transformation (DX), the importance of an individual's 'execution power'—the ability to drive projects forward to completion—is higher than ever.
On the other hand, many considering certification face challenges such as wanting learning that applies to practical work rather than just exam techniques, anxiety about self-study, and the need to pass efficiently within limited time. Japan Project Solutions responds to these needs by providing training that connects global standards to Japanese business practices. The strength of their education business lies in not only covering the knowledge required for the PMP® exam but also breaking down that knowledge into a form that can be used on-site. By designing learning based on real-world demands such as objective clarification, planning, stakeholder coordination, risk management, and promotion decisions, they provide value far beyond 'learning for the sake of certification.'
JPS has also achieved a track record as a high-growth company, ranking multiple times in the 'FT High-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific' list by the Financial Times and Nikkei Asia, and being selected for the Nikkei's 'Japan's Rapidly Growing Companies 2022.' Such achievements serve as a source of trust for students and corporations alike.
During this visit, PMI and JPS confirmed their alignment to increase interest in PMP® certification, expand learning opportunities, and ultimately boost the number of candidates. JPS will continue to provide reliable learning opportunities as a representative ATP in Japan, contributing to individual growth, organizational results, and the overall improvement of project execution power in Japan.
