Workport Partners with Shimane Susanoo Magic

In a significant move to build community ties and support regional initiatives, Workport Co., Ltd., a leading recruitment agency based in Tokyo and Fukuoka, has recently announced its sponsorship agreement with the professional basketball team, Shimane Susanoo Magic. The team, which competes in Japan's B1 League, is based in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, and this partnership is set to enhance the team's engagement with the community.

Background of the Sponsorship Agreement

Workport has established a strong presence across all 47 prefectures in Japan, focusing on providing high-quality agent services wherever clients may be located. As a distinctive recruitment agent that emphasizes local contributions, Workport aims to support job seekers and local businesses by offering personalized services tailored to each region. With the opening of its Shimane branch scheduled for April 2024, the company is committed to enhancing employment support and human resource acquisition in the area.

By connecting with Shimane Susanoo Magic, which strives to invigorate the region through basketball, Workport is making a robust commitment to not just sports but also the economic and cultural framework of Shimane.

Future Initiatives

As part of the newly formed sponsorship, Workport will display advertisements at the arena, specifically on the second-floor endline. This visibility will not only promote Workport’s services but also reinforce the collaborative effort in supporting the team and the local community’s development.
