Workport Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka; Chairman and CEO: Takahiro Tamura), a recruitment agency, is pleased to announce the 'Okayama/Hiroshima Joint UIJ-Turn Seminar,' a free online seminar for those interested in moving to or working in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures to learn about the realities of work and life in the region.
■ Background of the event
Workport is holding this joint UIJ-turn seminar because we have branches in all 47 prefectures across Japan!
Currently, as the momentum for regional revitalization grows, UIJ-turns are attracting attention. In this context, local governments in Okayama and Hiroshima are also putting effort into initiatives such as setting up support systems for UIJ-turns. At Workport, which has branches in all 47 prefectures, career change support including UIJ-turns is also active.
However, although many people are interested in UIJ-turns, they are unable to take the step towards job hunting because they do not understand the local work and living environments. Therefore, in this seminar, Workport employees who have actually achieved career development and regional living in Okayama and Hiroshima will talk about real information such as 'local work conditions (job openings, salaries)' and 'local living conditions (housing, transportation, leisure).' We will also talk about the local job market sentiment that only a recruitment agent can know.
This is a joint UIJ-turn seminar that only Workport can provide, given our presence in all 47 prefectures.
If you are even slightly interested, please feel free to join us.
