Nikka Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Midori-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; President: Hirohisa Nishida; hereinafter "Nikka Home"), a company engaged in the residential renovation business, has been implementing a career education support program since fiscal year 2024 to provide children with opportunities to think about "architecture, living environments, and working."
On March 6, 2026, the company held a visiting woodworking class for first-grade students at an elementary school in Tama City, Tokyo.
On the day of the event, the company's renovation staff served as instructors, conducting an experiential class based on the essence of DIY: "Do It Yourself."
■ Visiting Classes to Convey the "DIY Spirit" | A Learning Space to Foster Initiative
In this class, with the motto "Do It Yourself!," children experienced the joy of thinking for themselves and working with their hands.
In the woodworking workshop, students took on the challenge of creating their own projects while learning how to use tools and paying attention to safety.
Through the sense of accomplishment upon completion and the success of "doing it myself," the class served as an opportunity to foster the ability to act proactively.
The goal is to broaden the scope of children's future interests by exposing them to "craftsmanship" from an early age.
■ Active Employees as Instructors | Career Education Conveying the Reality of Work
A major feature of this program is that active renovation staff serve as instructors.
In the class, they go beyond mere technical instruction to convey the "realities of working" to the children, including:
・The rewards of craftsmanship
・The significance of engaging with society through work
・The importance of working in a team
Such initiatives not only serve as a catalyst for children to think about their futures but also provide an opportunity for the employees themselves to reaffirm the value of their work.
■ Corporate Collaboration Addressing Educational Challenges | Background of Visiting Classes
In recent years, the shortage of teachers well-versed in specialized fields and the creation of learning opportunities that connect to the real world have become challenges in the educational field.
Amidst this, expectations for corporate support in education are rising. Nikka Home is leveraging its know-how in accepting workplace experience students and human resource development to deploy visiting classes in collaboration with schools.
Classes are conducted in the following formats depending on the objective:
・Lecture/Seminar format
・Experiential workshop format
・Career talk format
By designing flexible programs tailored to the needs of the educational field, the company provides continuous support.
■ Listed on External Education Platforms | Inquiries Increasing Toward the New School Year
Nikka Home's visiting class program is also listed on the educational institution service "Demae-School.com."
Currently, which is the period for considering curricula for the new school year, inquiries from educational professionals are increasing, indicating a high level of interest.

■ Toward Becoming a "Company That Nurtures People"
In addition to its social significance in nurturing the next generation, this initiative serves as an opportunity to communicate the company's perspective on human resources.
At Nikka Home, we emphasize not only providing construction technology but also cultivating "personnel who can empathize with people's lives and create value."
The sight of employees standing in the educational field and engaging with children embodies:
・The rewards of work that involves people
・The appeal of craftsmanship
・A corporate stance that contributes to society
Moving forward, through such activities, we will strive to enhance our brand value as a "company that nurtures people" and strengthen recruitment based on empathy.
The background to our employees being active in the educational field lies in the proposal skills and on-site response capabilities cultivated in their daily work. At Nikka Home, sales representatives consistently handle everything from on-site surveys to construction management and after-sales follow-up, allowing them to gain diverse experience in their daily duties. We introduce this workflow and work style through an actual daily schedule. You can view the realistic job content of renovation sales below.
