Background of Chaos Map Creation

In recent years, driven by the rapid spread of generative AI and the acceleration of DX promotion, the demand for IT-skilled personnel has reached unprecedented levels. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry estimates that there will be a shortage of up to approximately 790,000 IT professionals by 2030, and interest in reskilling among working adults is increasing year by year.

In response to this situation, the number of IT schools (programming, generative AI, etc.) has rapidly increased, with hundreds of schools currently in fierce competition. However, the fields covered, learning formats, fees, and availability of subsidies vary widely among schools, leading to comments like, "It's hard to find a school that suits me."

Therefore, to enable individuals considering reskilling or career changes to compare and select the optimal school, we have created the "IT School Chaos Map 2026 Edition," which visualizes the overall landscape of the IT school market.

Three Trends in the IT School Sector

Three Trends in IT Schools_reslog

The recent trends in the IT school sector are as follows:

(1) Generative AI-powered curricula in each field

The first trend is the rapid spread of curricula incorporating generative AI in schools across various genres such as programming, design, and marketing.

In addition to traditional coding education, courses that teach practical application of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot are being newly established at various schools. As generative AI significantly improves development efficiency, an increasing number of schools are aiming to cultivate "engineers and creators who can collaborate with AI."

As the goal of skill acquisition shifts to "acquiring practical skills that are relevant in the AI era," the integration of generative AI into curricula has become a crucial factor in school selection.

(2) Career support through government reskilling subsidies

The second trend is the advancement of government and local government reskilling subsidy programs, with an expanding number of eligible schools.

Starting with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Education and Training Benefit System," schools are increasingly supporting subsidies and grants to alleviate financial burdens. Some systems offer up to 70% of tuition fees, and with the reduced financial hurdle, the number of participants for reskilling purposes is on the rise.

Schools are also enhancing their support systems for subsidy applications, and a model that provides comprehensive support from skill acquisition to job change and career transition is becoming established.

(3) Emergence of career schools specialized for women

The third trend is the emergence of schools specialized in career support for women.

An increasing number of schools are creating environments conducive to women's learning, such as online-centric curriculum design that assumes compatibility with childcare and housework, support systems by female coaches and mentors, and flexible adjustment of study pace to match life events.

Against the backdrop of an increasing number of women aiming for careers as IT engineers, web designers, and marketers, the market for specialized schools addressing women's unique career challenges is expected to expand further.
