Revolutionizing Corporate Training with Manabi Slides
As the demand for reskilling continues to rise, the landscape of corporate learning is shifting dramatically. The introduction of the new service 'Manabi Slides' by Hipster Gate Inc., set to launch on December 22, 2025, marks a significant evolution in how educational materials are created and utilized within organizations. Rather than developing training materials from scratch, HR professionals and trainers can now purchase ready-made, customizable PowerPoint slides that alleviate the overwhelming burden of preparing for training sessions.
The Backdrop: The Surge in Educational Needs
In recent years, the emphasis on human capital management has intensified the need for companies to support employee skill enhancement. Consequently, internal workshops and self-developed training sessions have seen a significant increase. However, trainers—primarily HR personnel and managers—are confronting serious challenges, including:
- - Insufficient Preparation Time: Creating a single slide can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, leaving little time for the important aspects of 'instruction' and 'discussion'.
- - Quality Variability: Individual differences in design and presentation skills result in inconsistent quality in the training materials produced.
- - Diverse Thematic Demands: In addition to conventional business etiquette, topics such as DE&I, psychological safety, and digital transformation require an expanded knowledge base, making it difficult for trainers to keep up.
To address these bottlenecks in education, Hipster Gate has distilled its extensive experience as a training provider into the development of 'Manabi Slides,' enabling instant access to high-quality training materials.
Features of Manabi Slides
1. Customizable PowerPoint Format
Unlike many educational resources available in PDF format that only allow for viewing, 'Manabi Slides' offers editable PowerPoint (.pptx) files. This allows organizations to easily incorporate their own examples or modify slides to fit specific time constraints, offering a quick route to tailor existing content for their unique training needs.
2. Facilitation Support from Educational Experts
More than just a compilation of slides, these presentations are structured in a narrative that maximizes learning effectiveness—from the introduction (icebreakers) to the main content, activities, and conclusions. Each slide is accompanied by 'one-point advice' for instructors, enabling even those with less experience to conduct sessions with confidence.
3. Visually Engaging Design with Universal Accessibility
Moving away from text-heavy slides, 'Manabi Slides' employs a rich variety of illustrations, frameworks, and visual designs to create engaging, accessible presentations. This approach enhances understanding and keeps participants engaged, even in online training formats.

Comment from CEO Yoshifumi Watanabe of Hipster Gate Inc.
"In many organizations, the need for overtime just to prepare training sessions has become all too common. When educators are exhausted, it undermines the efforts to develop quality talent. After substantial internal discussion about selling our instructional materials openly, we arrived at releasing 'Manabi Slides' to elevate the overall quality of education across society. We envision a space where trainers are free to concentrate on 'teaching' as an art form. As we approach the upcoming training season for new hires next spring, we hope many companies will take advantage of this service."
