doda and Kochi Prefecture Launch First Region-Specific Website "Kochi-ka de Hataraku." to Learn About Working and Living in the Prefecture

Persol Career Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yutaka Senoo), which operates the job change service "doda," announced on July 1, 2026, the launch of a special website for individuals considering relocating to or returning to Kochi Prefecture. This initiative was undertaken as part of the "Fiscal Year 2026 Job Information Dissemination Project" commissioned by Kochi Prefecture.

As part of Kochi Prefecture's relocation promotion measures, this project aims to provide integrated information for those considering relocation, covering not only job opportunities but also aspects of daily life and the relocation process, enabling them to concretely envision working and living in Kochi Prefecture.

Background of This Initiative

When considering relocation or returning to a region, it is necessary to gather information from various perspectives, including not only job postings but also living environments, convenience of daily life, childcare support, and community engagement. However, such information is often scattered across multiple websites and contact points, making it difficult to access the necessary information during the consideration process.

Kochi Prefecture boasts a rich natural environment with its sea, mountains, and rivers, and the prefecture, municipalities, and related organizations collaborate to provide relocation support systems and consultation services.

Under these circumstances, a special website has been developed to provide cross-cutting information on work, life, and relocation, allowing users to deepen their understanding of how to live and work in Kochi Prefecture and access information tailored to their stage of consideration.

This website marks the first initiative where doda collaborates with a local government to disseminate region-specific information.

Overview and Content of the Special Website

The website is composed of four content sections: "SPECIAL CONTENTS (Videos)," "DISCOVERY (Living and Environmental Information)," "STORY (Voices of Relocation Experience)," and "GUIDANCE (Relocation Guide)."

The key feature is that users can gather information from understanding the overall picture of Kochi Prefecture to forming concrete images of working and living, and preparing for relocation, all on a single site.

- SPECIAL CONTENTS (Videos): Grasp the overall picture of Kochi Prefecture in a short time.

A video titled "Marutto Wakaru Kochi Prefecture" (Kochi Prefecture You Can Understand All at Once) will be released (scheduled for July 17) to convey the appeal of working and living in Kochi Prefecture.

- DISCOVERY (Living and Environmental Information): Visualize your life.

This content provides organized information, including living environment and area characteristics, as well as data on working styles, allowing users to visualize concrete aspects of life and work.

It presents information on residential areas based on the characteristics of the six regions within the prefecture, how to find housing, and estimated rent. It also includes data showing the industrial structure and employment distribution within the prefecture, along with links to job information in Kochi Prefecture.

- STORY (Voices of Relocation Experience): Resolve concerns through real experiences.

Interview articles based on the real experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds allow users to concretely imagine various options for working and living.

Examples include career cases of working while based in Kochi and engaging in international trade or business trips. Cases of returning to Kochi and balancing work as a renovation site supervisor with childcare, in a company that understands the needs of parents.

- GUIDANCE (Relocation Guide): Consider concrete actions.

The flow from relocation consideration to starting employment and daily life is organized, making it easy for first-time visitors to think about their next steps.
