Nikka Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ryusho-yama, Midori-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Hirohisa Nishida; hereinafter referred to as Nikka Home), a company engaged in the housing renovation business, has been implementing a career education support program since fiscal year 2024 to provide children with opportunities to think about "architecture, living environment, and work."

On March 6, 2026, an outreach woodworking class for first-grade students was held at an elementary school in Tama City, Tokyo.

On the day, renovation staff from the company served as instructors, conducting an experiential class with the theme of the essence of "Do It Yourself (DIY) - Let's do what we can ourselves."

■ Outreach Classes Conveying the "DIY Spirit" | A Learning Space to Foster Autonomy

In the class held this time, with the slogan "Do It Yourself!", children experienced the joy of thinking for themselves and using their hands.

In the woodworking workshop, they challenged themselves to create works while considering how to use tools and safety precautions.

Through the sense of accomplishment upon completion and the success experience of "I did it myself," it became an opportunity to foster the ability to act proactively.

The aim is to broaden the scope of future interests by exposing children to "monozukuri" (manufacturing/craftsmanship) from an early age.

■ Current Employees as Instructors | Career Education Conveying the Reality of Work

A major feature of this program is that current renovation staff serve as instructors.

In the classes, they go beyond mere technical instruction to convey the "reality of work" to children, including:

・The fulfillment of creating things

・The significance of engaging with society through work

・The importance of teamwork

These initiatives not only provide children with opportunities to think about their future but also serve as a chance for employees to reconfirm the value of their work.

■ Corporate Collaboration Responding to Educational Challenges | Background of Outreach Classes

In recent years, a shortage of teachers with expertise in specialized fields and the creation of learning opportunities connected to the real world have become challenges in the education field.

Amidst this, expectations for educational support from companies are growing, and Nikka Home is developing outreach classes in collaboration with schools, leveraging its know-how in accepting workplace experience and human resource development.

Classes are conducted in the following formats depending on the objective:

・Lecture/Seminar Format

・Experiential Workshop Format

・Career Talk Format

Flexible program design tailored to the needs of the educational field allows for continuous support.

■ Towards Becoming a "Company that Nurtures People"

This initiative, in addition to its social significance in nurturing the next generation, also serves as an opportunity to communicate the company's philosophy on human resources.

Nikka Home emphasizes the development of "people who can create value by staying close to people's lives," not just providing construction techniques.

The sight of employees standing in educational settings and interacting with children embodies:

・The fulfillment of jobs that involve interacting with people

・The appeal of monozukuri

・A corporate stance that contributes to society

Through such activities, Nikka Home aims to enhance its brand value as a "company that nurtures people" and strengthen recruitment based on empathy.

The background of employees actively participating in educational settings lies in the proposal-making and on-site response skills cultivated through their daily work.

At Nikka Home, sales representatives handle everything from on-site surveys to construction management and after-sales follow-up, allowing them to gain diverse experience in their daily tasks.
