Nikka Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kagoyama, Midori-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; President: Hirohisa Nishida; hereinafter 'Nikka Home'), which operates a residential renovation business, has been continuously implementing its 'Housing Classroom' career education support program since the 2024 fiscal year, providing children with opportunities to think about 'architecture, living environments, and working.'
On March 3, 2026, the company conducted a visiting class for 5th-grade students at an elementary school in Tama City, Tokyo, utilizing three consecutive home economics class periods.
This was the second time the program was held at this school, following last year's session, and was conducted as part of ongoing educational support in collaboration with the local community.
Three Consecutive Practical Classes | Providing Learning Connected to 'Daily Life'
This class was structured into three sessions to align with the home economics curriculum.
In addition to basic knowledge about housing, the content allowed students to experience the connection between daily life and work while learning about the jobs and roles involved in home renovation.
By designing a program that emphasizes opportunities for children to think and speak proactively, rather than just inputting knowledge, the company provided a catalyst for students to understand the relationship between their own lives and society.
Active Employees as Instructors | Educational Support Conveying the 'Reality of Work'
A key feature of this program is that active renovation staff serve as instructors.
Based on the expertise cultivated on residential renovation sites, they convey:
- The appeal of craftsmanship
- The rewards of the job
- The connection to society
...by incorporating real-life experiences.
Having employees stand in an educational setting provides children with an opportunity to encounter 'real work,' and for the employees, it serves as a place to reaffirm the value of their own work. These efforts also lead to promoting the appeal of 'jobs that support people's lives.'

Corporate Collaboration Addressing Challenges in Education
