Mirai Works, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Shoji Okamoto) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the contract for the 'Fiscal 2026 Migration and Exchange Promotion Seminar' project by Kagoshima Prefecture. Building on last year's efforts, the company will continue to conduct online and in-person seminars for individuals outside Kagoshima Prefecture, particularly in urban areas, who are interested in migration, thereby contributing to the promotion of migration and exchange with the prefecture.
■ Background of the Project
Kagoshima Prefecture faces significant challenges, including a decline in the working-age population due to the falling birthrate and aging society, as well as the outflow of young people for education and employment, leading to a shortage of talent to support local industries. As part of its efforts to promote local employment and migration, the prefecture issued a public call for contractors to organize seminars aimed at generating interest in moving to the prefecture among those living in urban areas.
Mirai Works operates services such as 'Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ),' a regional job change support service, 'Skill Shift,' a side-job matching service, and 'Glocal Mission Time,' an information site for considering working in regional areas. The company has been supporting the connection between urban professional talent and regional companies while promoting the appeal of regional areas.
Having successfully managed this project in fiscal 2025, the company has directly gathered insights into the expectations, anxieties, and needs of urban residents regarding Kagoshima. This year, the company will leverage its accumulated know-how to host seminars focusing on themes such as 'dual-residence living' and 'partner turns.' By conveying the charm and reality of life in Kagoshima, the company aims to focus on creating not only migrants but also a 'relational population.' This will strengthen the flow toward future U-turn and I-turn migration by allowing young people working in urban areas to engage with Kagoshima in their own way.
