Furthermore, 13.5% of workplaces had workers who took a leave of absence for one month or more or resigned due to mental health issues in the past year (*2).

What is Independent Training IT Rework?
"Independent Training IT Rework" is an independent training facility that helps individuals facing difficulties in daily and social life due to mental or developmental disabilities to lead stable daily lives and prepare for the next step of employment or returning to work.
Specifically, it provides programs to improve daily routines, manage health, enhance communication skills, and deepen self-understanding, supporting users to live confidently in society.
It can also be used as preparation for transitioning to our employment transition support facility, "Employment Transition IT School," allowing for continuous support for up to 4 years in total (2 years for each program in principle). It will serve as a foundation for young people struggling in junior high, high school, or university to thrive in society, and as a place for those who have entered society but are on leave due to mental health issues to prepare for their return to work (rework).

Background of Establishment: Leave of Absence/Resignation Due to Mental Health Issues and the Need for Pre-Return-to-Work Support
In recent years, the number of people experiencing leave of absence or resignation due to mental health issues has increased, and many feel anxious about returning to their original workplace or a new work environment immediately after treatment.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's survey shows that 82.7% of workers experience "strong anxiety, worries, or stress" regarding their work or professional life. Furthermore, 13.5% of workplaces had workers who took a leave of absence for one month or more or resigned due to mental health issues. In this situation, beyond medical recovery, the importance of "pre-return-to-work/re-employment support" that gradually builds up physical strength, interpersonal skills, and practical skills necessary for employment by establishing daily routines and deepening self-understanding is increasing.
Amagasaki City is one of Hyogo Prefecture's leading cities, with a population of 454,777 people and 232,252 households. It is easily accessible from Osaka and Kobe via railway networks such as JR, Hanshin, and Hankyu. We believe it is a region where those working in urban areas or aiming for future employment can easily commute, and where "work" and "life" are close, making it easy to prepare for returning to work or re-employment in daily life.
Considering this social background and regional characteristics, our company established "Independent Training IT Rework Amagasaki Tachibana" just a 1-minute walk from the South Exit of JR "Tachibana Station". We will provide a support base where individuals who are anxious about working immediately, those who want to first stabilize their health and daily life, or those who want to acquire IT skills to aim for employment, can take their first step with peace of mind.
