■ Seminar Day Highlights and Impressions
The seminar began with greetings from Representative Director Goto, and the lecture started in a friendly atmosphere.
Ms. Suzuki, the lecturer, made a career change from being an English teacher in a public school and now works as the Public Relations Office Manager in the medical, nursing care, and welfare fields. In the seminar, she shared her real experiences of diving into a different industry without prior experience, the appeal of 'people-supporting work' in the medical and welfare industries, and the possibilities of diverse work styles from a public relations perspective.
■ Participant Voices (from survey results)
In the post-seminar survey, all respondents answered 'Very Satisfied' or 'Satisfied', achieving a very high satisfaction rate of 100%. Many positive comments were received from participants, making it a place that changed their image of the industry and provided insights into diverse careers.
- I became a little interested in learning about the nursing care field, which I used to have a dark image of.
- I think it's wonderful that people without qualifications can still shine.
- I was amazed that someone could work in a completely different profession from a teacher. I admired how lively she was even after her way of life changed midway.
- It was good to learn the importance of proactively trying new things and devising ways to achieve better results.
■ Future Outlook and Connection to Support
Triggered by this seminar, cases have emerged where previously unregistered participants have progressed to concrete intake interviews, achieving the result of taking a first step towards practical employment support.
The Gifu Youth Support Station will continue to invite speakers active in various fields to convey the reality of work and the appeal of working, and will continue to hold seminars to support the career development of young people.
