[Activity Report] NAVICUS collaborates with Nagasaki Prefectural Government to conduct practical training camp for new graduates tackling regional issues; announces business proposals for creating 'related population'

SNS strategy design is at the core of communication support services provided by NAVICUS Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazuya Takeuchi; hereinafter: NAVICUS) for companies and local governments. From March 28 to 30, 2026, NAVICUS conducted a training camp in Nagasaki Prefecture for new graduates who will join the company in April, where they made business proposals for regional issues. This camp was carried out with the cooperation of the Nagasaki Prefectural Government's Regional Development Promotion Division and was designed as a "super practical program" where participants made business proposals for real-world regional issues. [Background of Implementation] Balancing human resource development directly linked to practical work and regional collaboration NAVICUS places importance on how quickly new employees can gain experience close to practical work in their training. This camp was implemented with the aim of fostering the following abilities by having new hires address actual client issues even before they officially join the company: Problem-setting ability Interviewing ability Proposal-building ability Presentation ability It was also positioned as an opportunity to deepen understanding of NAVICUS's MISSION and Pole Star (code of conduct). [Details of Collaboration with Nagasaki Prefectural Government] With the cooperation of the Nagasaki Prefectural Government's Regional Development Promotion Division, the following support was provided for this camp: Provision of workspace Creation of opportunities for interviews with prefectural and city officials Facilitation of interaction with local residents and stakeholders Provision of information on regional issues This allowed the new hires to gain experience in making proposals based on actual regional issues, rather than mere desk exercises. [Program Outline] 3-day practical training camp This camp was conducted over three days. Day 1: Input and Interviewing Started the camp at Nagasaki Prefectural Government. After understanding the company and problem explanations, interviews with prefectural and city officials were conducted. Day 2: Local Understanding and Hypothesis Verification Deepened understanding of issues through interviews with local stakeholders and town walks (saruku). Day 3: Presentation of Business Proposals Final proposals were presented to Nagasaki Prefectural Government and related parties. The program is designed to consistently integrate "input → practice → improvement → proposal" in a short period. Town walks (saruku) to deepen regional understanding were also conducted with the cooperation of the Nagasaki Foreign Settlement Historical Town Development Council. [Proposal Content] Business proposals with the theme of "creating a related population" The new hires made business proposals on the theme of "creating a related population in Nagasaki Prefecture." The proposals were constructed considering feasibility and sustainability, incorporating perspectives of SNS and community building, to address issues such as population decline and maintaining regional vitality, and were reviewed at a practical level. [Comment from Nagasaki Prefectural Government, Regional Development Promotion Division] "This time, centered on the foreign settlement area of Nagasaki City, participants deepened their understanding of the region's history, the activities of people involved in town development, and regional issues. We believe that through explanations from prefectural and city administrative officials, as well as town walks (saruku) led by local residents, the participants were able to unearth the essence of the region themselves. This was a meaningful initiative that showed the potential to contribute to the revitalization of the local community."
