Nikka Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 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 continuously implementing its career education support program "Living Classroom" since fiscal year 2024, providing children with opportunities to think about "architecture, living environment, and work."
On March 3, 2026, an outreach class was held at an elementary school in Tama City, Tokyo, utilizing three home economics class periods for 5th graders.
This was the second consecutive year the event was held at this school, as part of ongoing educational support in collaboration with the local community.
Three Consecutive Practical Classes | Learning Connected to "Living"
The class was structured into three periods, aligned with the home economics curriculum.
In addition to basic knowledge about housing, the program aimed to help students realize the connection between living and working while learning about the jobs and roles involved in renovation.
The program design emphasized opportunities for children to think and express themselves proactively, going beyond mere knowledge input, and providing a catalyst for understanding the "relationship between their own lives and society."
Instructors are Current Employees | Educational Support Conveying the "Reality of Work"
A key feature of this program is that current renovation staff serve as instructors.
Based on their expertise gained in the field of housing renovation,
・The appeal of manufacturing
・The rewards of work
・Connection with society
are conveyed through real-life experiences.
By having employees teach in educational settings, it provides children with an opportunity to experience "real work" and allows employees to reconfirm the value of their own jobs.
These initiatives also contribute to promoting the appeal of "work that supports people's lives."
