■ Background
In Akune City, the net outflow of young women (ages 20-30) has become a pressing issue. An analysis of the decline rate of young women until 2053 by the private expert group 'Population Strategy Council' has classified the city as a 'municipality at risk of disappearing,' where the population is expected to decrease sharply and eventually vanish. While reasons for the outflow are diverse, including education, employment, and spousal transfers, one factor is the lack of career development opportunities during life stages such as marriage and childbirth.
In response to these challenges, remote work, which allows people to work regardless of location, is expected to be an effective option. However, it is difficult for individuals to complete the entire process from skill acquisition to securing a job on their own, and there has been a need to establish a continuous support system.
Based on this background, we have launched the 'Remote Work Women's Academy' employment support program. We provide integrated support, including online training aimed at making participants immediately effective upon employment, career counseling, reskilling, job placement, and subsequent retention.
■ 'Remote Work Women's Academy' Overview
The 'Remote Work Women's Academy' will be operated by our company, which will consistently handle everything from recruiting participants to online training (2 weeks), trial employment, full-time employment, and retention support.
The training will provide practical, job-oriented content that 'doesn't just end with learning,' focusing on essential administrative and non-face-to-face communication skills for remote work. After completion, participants will be connected to employment opportunities by gradually taking on actual tasks through our 'Remote Tasker' service.
Training Period: 2 weeks (all online)
Week 1: On-demand video lectures (foundation building)
Week 2: Review & test / Practical exercises / Communication exercises
Completion Assessment: Transition to trial employment based on achievement criteria
■ Future Outlook
PERSOL TEMPSTAFF will continue to collaborate with municipalities, regional companies, and residents according to the challenges of each region, contributing to the creation of locally-rooted employment and resolving labor shortages.
