Kobe City and One Career Collaborate Again

One Career Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has once again partnered with W Inc. from Kobe City to enhance interactions between students and businesses. Selected for the second consecutive year by the city of Kobe for the initiative 'Promotion of Corporate Attractiveness and Student-Company Exchange Meetings,' the collaboration aims to bridge the gap between local companies and students. This unique initiative is focused on facilitating optimal matching between students and companies in Kobe.

Overview of the Project

The primary goal of this project is to raise awareness of companies in Kobe among university students both from within and outside the city, while also highlighting the benefits of working in Kobe. By deepening students' understanding of local businesses, the initiative will promote local employment, encourage students to move to the city, and support companies in securing talented individuals.

Last year's partnership between One Career and W Inc. provided a solid foundation for organizing and hosting these exchange meetings, drawing upon One Career’s expertise in event planning and management, as well as W Inc.'s established collaborations with local industry and academia.

Future Plans

This year, the two companies plan to enhance their offerings by strengthening video content that showcases the attractiveness and advantages of working in Kobe. Furthermore, they will continue to hold offline and online exchange meetings, which will help increase the visibility of local companies. Aiming to improve recruitment capabilities among businesses, seminars will also be conducted to facilitate better matches between students and employers.

Comments from Kobe City and One Career

Kobe City recognizes its status as a major university town, hosting 23 universities and colleges with approximately 70,000 enrolled students. The city aims to encourage local employment by fostering a deeper understanding of local businesses among students who study in Kobe or have an interest in the city. By leveraging One Career's career data for students and W Inc.'s network of local universities and companies, both firms hope to achieve better student-company matching, building on their strengths from last year.

One Career has been consistently active since its inception, planning and executing various online and offline events. With the collaboration from W Inc., which has a rich background in projects rooted in Kobe City, One Career intends to maximize insights to surpass last year's achievements in facilitating improved student-company interactions.

In the past year, One Career has partnered with five local governments, including Fukushima, Kyoto, Kobe, Kumamoto, and Tokyo. This year, collaborations with the Ministry of Education, Kyoto City, and Fukushima Prefecture are also underway.
