Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams.
This press release is a dream of Sponsors Boost Inc.
We want to change the "structure where recruitment costs continuously flow out of the region."
We will review the current situation where a large portion of the recruitment costs paid by companies flow out externally without being returned to the community, and create a mechanism to circulate these funds back to local students, club activities, and local society.
Instead of young people flowing out to urban areas without knowing local companies, we aim for a society where they can "choose because they know." Recruitment costs will become an "investment" that supports the future of the region, realizing a sustainable cycle where students, companies, and the region continue to connect.
That is the April Dream of SPONSORS BOOST.
## Recruitment difficulties for local companies and outflow of young people
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' Report on Internal Migration (2025 results), the Tokyo metropolitan area had a net inflow of 112,738 people. By age group, those aged 20-24 were the most numerous (80,443 people), followed by those aged 25-29 (23,546 people), indicating a significant outflow of young people to the metropolitan area.
On the other hand, local companies continue to face difficulties in forming applicant pools for recruitment activities due to factors such as "lack of company recognition" and "lack of contact with students." The strong preference of students for urban areas means that the appeal of local companies and employment opportunities are not sufficiently understood, leading to missed employment opportunities in local areas.
## Achievements of SPONSORS BOOST
"SPONSORS BOOST" is a service where companies can make small-scale donations to clubs they wish to support, allowing them to establish early contact with students in those clubs, which can then be utilized for recruitment. As a new recruitment model that creates corporate branding and student engagement through club support, its adoption is progressing nationwide.
Registered Universities: 100
Registered Clubs: 600 organizations
Contracted Companies: 95 companies
Sponsor Agreements Concluded: 68 clubs
(As of end of March 2026)
