Medley, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kohei Takiguchi), operator of Japan's largest medical and nursing care job site 'Job Medley,' has signed a partnership agreement with the Toyonaka City Nursing Care Insurance Provider Liaison Committee (Headquarters: Toyonaka City, Osaka), a group of nursing care providers active in Toyonaka City. This collaboration aims to initiate DX support and other initiatives to solve human resource challenges such as talent shortages and professional development faced by nursing care providers in the city.
Looking toward 2040, when approximately 35% of Japan's population will be 65 or older, it is essential to systematically secure nursing care facilities and talent based on the actual conditions and demands of each region. However, metropolitan areas like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya face a critical future shortage, with the active job opening ratio for the nursing care field at 3.97, exceeding the national average. In Osaka Prefecture alone, it is estimated that 235,000 nursing care professionals will be needed by 2040.
In Toyonaka City, which has approximately 26,000 certified individuals needing nursing care or support, pressing issues include not only a resource shortage—such as a lack of special nursing homes and overall talent—but also a lack of contact between nursing care and local residents, with many only relying on facilities once care needs become severe. Therefore, the Toyonaka City Nursing Care Insurance Provider Liaison Committee has sought to create connections between nursing care and the community while urgently securing and training talent through active cooperation and exchange with other organizations and private businesses.
The Toyonaka City Nursing Care Insurance Provider Liaison Committee is a provider organization established in 2000, with over 450 member facilities. It also serves as the implementing body for the 'Toyonaka City Nursing Care Future Creation Support Project' promoted by the city.
Meanwhile, Medley has developed businesses utilizing technology in the medical and healthcare sector under the mission of 'Creating the future of medical healthcare.' In its talent platform business, with the service vision of 'Broadly supporting work,' it has supported individuals and organizations involved in medical and welfare. This includes Japan's largest recruitment site 'Job Medley' and 'Job Medley Academy,' an online video training service for nursing care, disability welfare, home medical care, and nursing, assisting with everything from recruitment and training to operational efficiency for medical and healthcare facilities.
Through this partnership, Medley will leverage assets like Job Medley in the 'training business contributing to the retention of nursing care talent,' 'business contributing to securing nursing care talent,' and 'exchange and PR activities contributing to communicating the appeal of nursing care business' promoted by the Liaison Committee via the Future Creation Support Project. Together, they will work through DX support to secure and train nursing care talent in the region and create touchpoints for nursing care within the community.
Specifically, the two parties will consider and implement activities aligned with the needs of the Toyonaka City Nursing Care Insurance Provider Liaison Committee, such as lectures and training aimed at improving recruitment skills for nursing care providers and expanding job postings utilizing Job Medley assets.
