Trepro's New Initiative Amid Labor Shortage Crisis

As Japan faces a structural crisis in the electric construction sector characterized by surging demand and declining supply, Trepro Co., Ltd., a company specializing in social media recruitment support, has announced the launch of its electrician recruitment assistance program starting March 17, 2026. This initiative aims to address the dual challenges of increasing demand driven by investments in data centers, renewable energy expansion, and 5G infrastructure, against a backdrop of a shrinking labor force due to declining birth rates and an aging workforce.

Current State of the Electric Construction Industry

The electric construction sector plays a pivotal role in infrastructure development and digitalization in Japan. However, alarming statistics reveal that over 50% of certified electricians are over the age of 50, signaling rapid aging within the workforce. Additionally, the industry faces a staggering turnover rate, with 20-40% of new entrants leaving the job within three years. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, there will be a forecasted shortfall of around 20,000 first-class electricians against a demand of approximately 204,000 by early 2020. For second-class electricians, a deficit of about 3,000 is expected by 2045, against a demand of 86,000.

Background of Trepro's Recruitment Support Initiative

Trepro specializes in enhancing companies' recruitment capabilities through expert social media management, from strategic planning to execution. Based on their extensive experience supporting over 300 companies across various industries, they have successfully adapted their strategies to meet distinct hiring challenges in the electric construction sector. Through engaging with clients, they recognized the intrinsic difficulties of hiring in this field, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises, which face stiff competition on salary, benefits, and budgets.

Understanding that traditional recruitment methods are reaching their limits, Trepro has shifted its focus to appealing to potential candidates through social media, particularly platforms like TikTok. By showcasing elements that cannot be easily conveyed through statistics or text—such as career vision, team dynamics, workplace atmosphere, and authentic work experiences—they intend to attract job seekers who are starting to consider a career change.

Trepro aims to establish a new norm in recruitment within the electric construction industry: that companies can succeed in attracting talent even when they cannot compete on hard metrics.

Trepro's Key Strengths

Trepro's success in the social media support sector is attributed to three distinct strengths:

Comprehensive Recruitment Pathway Design

Trepro manages all aspects of social media operations in-house, from planning and shooting to editing and post-analysis. This holistic approach allows them to effectively tackle essential challenges such as recruitment efficiency, audience engagement, and brand enhancement.

Understanding Craftsmanship in Recruitment Design

With a deep understanding of the nuances of the profession, Trepro employs data-driven strategies right from the beginning of their operations. They analyze optimal posting times and content types, ensuring that their strategies do not merely aim to maximize views but are designed to convert viewing audiences into actual job applications.

Proven Reproducibility through Extensive Experience

With a track record spanning from January 2021 through December 2024, Trepro has successfully created over 70,000 unique content pieces for more than 300 clients. This overwhelming volume of production enables them to adapt quickly to shifts in industry trends, ensuring they leverage the latest marketing techniques efficiently while generating significant results in short periods.

Vision of the Leadership

Kanayama Takuma, CEO of Trepro, reflects on the critical importance of electricians as essential pillars of Japan's social infrastructure. However, he feels the industry’s value is not adequately conveyed to potential job seekers. Driven by his commitment to translating Trepro’s insights into actionable benefits for the sector, Kanayama’s vision has fueled the inception of this initiative. Grounded in the philosophy of creating gratitude, emotion, and excitement, he aspires to transform the future of the electric construction industry collaboratively.
