Jinjibu Group Expands Career Support for Students

Introduction to Jinjibu Career

Jinjibu Career Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo and led by CEO Mitsuhide Sasaki, has officially commenced operations for its new career guidance project aimed at high school students as of April 1, 2026. This initiative follows the acquisition of the career guidance business from Chieru Communication Bridge Co., Ltd. The company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jinjibu Co., Ltd. based in Osaka, under the same leadership, and aims to offer integrated support for high school students' career choices between employment and further education.

Purpose and Background of the Initiative

The primary goal of this career information business is to eliminate mismatches in career choices among high school students. For over fifty years, Jinjibu, through its predecessor Shouei Koho, has provided career support via various channels such as school guidance sessions and the publication of the career information magazine "Koukou-sei no Kimochi" (Feelings of High School Students).

Traditionally, high school career guidance has often been split between job placement services and educational pathways, leading to a gap in valuable information for students. Often, students find themselves making vague choices about advancement to higher education or entering the workforce without a true understanding of their own strengths or preferences. This lack of clarity results in a pressing need for enhanced career choice solutions.

To tackle these challenges, Jinjibu Group has joined forces with Jinjibu Career to redefine how career guidance can be delivered. Through the integration of established connections with high schools, universities, and vocational schools, along with Jinjibu's extensive nationwide network with companies, the group is set to refine the services provided and strengthen collaborations with educational institutions.

The vision is to obliterate the boundaries between further education and employment services related to career pathways. Every high school student will have access to explore and compare options based on their personal abilities and ambitious career trajectories.

Synergistic Benefits of the Group

1. Enhanced Career Education Support

By covering both job and educational pathways, Jinjibu Career aims to create an environment where high school students can actively consider their career options from a wide array of choices.

2. Merging Networks

Utilizing both companies' extensive networks of high schools, universities, vocational schools, and corporate relationships will significantly broaden access to career information for high school graduates, enhancing opportunities for both employment and further education.

3. Speeding up Solutions to Social Issues

Societal challenges such as early workforce dropout and career mismatches can be addressed by providing essential information and support at the earliest stages of career consideration. By establishing avenues for students to choose their own paths, the group aims for a proactive solution to these pressing issues.

Jinjibu Career is committed to harnessing the resources of the Jinjibu Group while maintaining trust built with educational institutions across the country. In alignment with their purpose to "increase the dreams of those who will live in the future," the group will empower youth to believe in their potential and independently determine their career paths, ensuring no opportunities are extinguished for the rising generation.
