Tokai Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative: Katsuya Kuno), Alta Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Chio Kato), and Kopro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Masaru Kurumi) will jointly host a free online seminar on Thursday, May 21, 2026, for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing severe labor shortages. The seminar is titled "End the Labor Shortage – Foreign Human Resources x Generative AI x Subsidy Utilization Seminar."

Currently, the "labor shortage" is the most critical management issue affecting the operations of SMEs in Japan. This seminar will unveil concrete and practical methods that combine three key solutions: "utilization of foreign human resources," "business efficiency improvement through generative AI," and "utilization of subsidies" to curb introduction costs.

Background of the Seminar

Due to the declining working population, a vicious cycle of "unable to hire," "difficulty in retention," and "time-consuming training" is occurring in many workplaces. Especially in the employment of foreign human resources, language barriers, cultural differences, and complex labor management often pose significant hurdles. This seminar will provide know-how to solve these challenges with the latest generative AI technology and specialized labor management expertise, and further, by wisely utilizing public support such as IT introduction subsidies, to build a strong organization while keeping costs down.
