[Job Consultation Event Also Held] Hello Work Nagoya Minami Hosts Seminar for Job Seekers Interested in Driver Positions

On April 22, 2026, the "Workplace Environment Certification System" was explained at the "Basic Job Hunting Knowledge Seminar" held at Hello Work Nagoya Minami. During the seminar, it was clarified that businesses displaying the certification mark are "certified as workplaces where one can work with peace of mind." Furthermore, initiatives taken by certified businesses to improve the workplace environment and the mechanism by which the certification mark is granted after examination by a third-party organization were introduced. Job seekers who participated provided feedback such as, "I became interested in the certification system," and "The image of a driver's job became more concrete," which led to a deeper understanding of the system. Three certified companies promoted their initiatives - Job consultation event held simultaneously. For the first time at this seminar, a new "Business PR Time" was set up, where three certified businesses introduced their initiatives to job seekers. Three-star certified businesses (taxi), two-star certified businesses (truck), and one-star certified businesses (truck) took the stage to explain the realities and working styles in the field. Feedback received included, "It was good to hear directly from the businesses," "I want to hear more details," and "I would like to participate if similar opportunities arise in the future." After the seminar, a job consultation fair was also held by the three participating companies, and job seekers were seen eagerly listening to their explanations. The secretariat will continue to strengthen cooperation with Hello Work and will convey the commitment of certified businesses to creating comfortable workplaces to job seekers. Through providing opportunities to consider driver positions as a career option, we will strive to contribute to the development of the transportation industry and certified businesses.

It is a system established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to "visualize" the "ease of work" for truck, bus, and taxi drivers with a certification mark. Its purpose is to promote the employment of job seekers as drivers and to support the efforts of transportation businesses to secure human resources. Companies with this mark have implemented various initiatives to improve drivers' working conditions and environment, and have been certified after their contents were reviewed by a certification implementing body. This system aims to create a better working environment for each individual worker, including active recruitment of female drivers, increasing the number of annual holidays, shortening overtime hours, and initiatives to protect mental and physical health, serving as a guideline for choosing a workplace. The Japan Maritime Association, designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as a "certification implementing body," carries out the system's review and certification operations, as well as public relations activities.
