Selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's 'Career Up Support Project through Reskilling'

Mirai Works Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shoji Okamoto; hereinafter 'the Company') announces that it has been selected as a subsidized project operator for the 'Career Up Support Project through Reskilling' implemented by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The Company will leverage the support know-how cultivated through its regional job change support service 'Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)' to begin providing career-up support services, including a 'Practical Reskilling Course' designed to help individuals seeking to change jobs to regional companies maximize their potential.

■ Background of this Project

In recent years, the importance of autonomous career development for individuals and smooth labor mobility towards growth fields has been increasing for the sustainable growth of the Japanese economy. The 'Career Up Support Project through Reskilling' promoted by METI is a measure aimed at providing end-to-end support for employed individuals to review their careers, acquire new skills, and then change jobs to companies where they can utilize those skills.

Regional companies face urgent challenges such as severe labor shortages due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and delays in digital transformation (DX), necessitating the flow of human resources from urban areas. However, in regional job changes, even highly experienced personnel often cannot fully demonstrate their performance due to 'soft skill gaps' such as organizational culture and business practices, leading to mismatches.

The Company operates the regional job change support service 'Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)' (https://glocalmissionjobs.jp/) and has supported over 1,000 people (*1) in changing jobs to regional areas. Based on this experience, the Company believes that improving a mindset adaptable to local culture and communication skills, in addition to practical skills, is essential for success in regional areas. In this project, the Company will provide a 'Practical Reskilling Course' based on accumulated know-how to alleviate the anxieties of those hoping to change jobs to regional companies and support their challenges. Additionally, the Company will provide consistent support from individual consultations with career consultants, to specific job introductions, and follow-up support after joining a company. Through this, the Company aims to create new flows of people to regional areas and promote the revitalization of local economies throughout Japan.

■ Overview of the 'Practical Reskilling Course'

This course is designed for individuals seeking to change jobs to regional companies, providing specific know-how for success in regional companies through a program of 15 hours or more. It goes beyond mere knowledge acquisition, offering a structured curriculum for systematically acquiring the mindset and communication skills essential for regional adaptation.
The curriculum covers practical content, including interactions with executives of regional companies and 'seniors' who have successfully changed jobs to regional companies, as well as the latest interview preparation using generative AI.
