SHE Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO/CCO: Eri Fukuda; hereinafter "SHE"), which operates the career school for women "SHElikes" that supports everything from learning to working, held its annual festival "SHE AWARDS 2026" on Saturday, April 11 at Otemachi Mitsui Hall (Otemachi, Tokyo) to celebrate the new challenges and changes of individuals and peers.
On the day of the event, with a record-breaking 1,729 viewers (*1) watching, four award winners from SHElikes students who achieved their own unique lifestyles and work styles gave presentations.
SHE operates the women's career school "SHElikes" and has accompanied more than 200,000 people (*2) to date in realizing their "unique lifestyles and work styles." "SHE AWARDS" is an annual festival that aims to create a chain of new challenges starting from the changes born through SHE, serving as one of Japan's largest community co-creation venues for women's careers.
This year, marking SHE's 9th anniversary, the event was held on SHE's founding date, Saturday, April 11, under the theme "Change together, change with everyone." We collected stories of change through SHElikes, regardless of size, and commended stories of expanding one's potential and causing change based on the selection criteria: "Whether there were changes in both career and mindset through SHElikes," "What kind of actions/ingenuity/efforts are being made in the process of causing change," and "Whether the story overwrites one's own common sense and pushes someone else to take a step forward."
From the stories of change and challenges gathered from entries that started in January 2026, 13 nominees were selected as representatives, and four winners among them gave presentations.
On the day, in addition to on-site participation at Otemachi Mitsui Hall, live viewing was held at bases in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Including the live stream on YouTube, a record-breaking 1,729+ people participated as viewers.
The authentic presentations by the winners moved the hearts of many participants, encouraging them to face themselves and take a new step forward. A movie delivering the message of the awards and the excitement of the day is currently available. Please experience the enthusiasm and emotion of the community created by the SHE Awards.
SHE will continue to accompany the careers and lives of many women and support all challenges to take a step forward into their own unique lifestyles and work styles.

■ About the "SHE AWARDS 2026" Award Ceremony
A woman who let go of a career chosen based on others' criteria and is pushing forward with her dream of expanding the careers of women in local areas.
A woman who overcame the assumption that it was a luxury for her as a mother to fulfill her dreams, and achieved a career change that allows her to value both her family and herself.
A woman who peeled off the label of "social misfit" she had put on herself and grasped her true calling as a photographer.
A woman who overturned the stereotype of "because it's a rural area" and is working to realize a "rural area where people can take on challenges" through career advancement.
The four winners, who overcame various common sense and assumptions and are currently fulfilling their dreams, shared the trajectories of facing their own lives and taking steps forward.
Also, as a new initiative this time, we welcomed senior students who have changed their lives at SHE and colored past SHE Awards to present the commemorative plaques to the winners. Under this year's concept of "Change together, change with everyone," it became a symbolic performance where seniors who have carved out their lives at SHE sent cheers to the next challengers.
