Aoba-BBT Unveils BBT Essentials for Managers

Aoba-BBT, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to launch its online course "BBT Essentials," making this essential training available to individuals for the first time. Starting September 2025, this comprehensive program is designed to equip mid-level employees and managers with the necessary skills to tackle the challenges facing today's leadership roles. With around 400 hours of structured content, participants will gain access to knowledge previously reserved for corporate training sessions.

As the working environment evolves through rapid advancements in technology and shifts in industrial structures, it is essential for professionals to adapt. The traditional reliance on past experiences is no longer sufficient. Instead, the focus has shifted toward "reskilling"—a crucial societal challenge that governments are increasingly addressing. Until now, opportunities for individual learning have been limited, as most programs have been corporate-focused.

Unlike typical video courses that provide quick insights into established management frameworks, Aoba-BBT offers the "BBT Channel" series. This unique offering tackles complex business challenges by fostering "thinking skills" and "creative abilities" necessary for overcoming ambiguous issues in business. The BBT Essentials course curates essential lectures from over 8,000 hours of BBT Channel content, focusing on the crucial skills managers and mid-level employees need to excel.

Why BBT Essentials is Timely

In the current environment that emphasizes adaptability, the need for lifelong learning is paramount. The BBT Essentials course not only prepares learners for immediate roles but also empowers them to proactively shape their future. Individuals seeking to reassess their careers or deepen their knowledge can do so flexibly, at their own pace, through this course.

Course Features

The course spans 25 key themes directly related to work outcomes:

• - Business Strategy & Leadership
• - Marketing & Digital Transformation (DX)
• - Financial Accounting & Human Resource Management

Expert instructors from diverse fields, including seasoned entrepreneurs and consultants, will guide students not only through theory but also through practical experience. For just 33,000 yen (including tax) over six months, participants can access high-quality training typically reserved for corporate environments, making premier education affordable for individuals.

Upon completion of each module, participants will receive a blockchain-based "Open Badge" as proof of their learning, strengthening their professional credentials.

• - Young to Mid-Level Employees (future leaders)
• - Managers taking on leadership roles for the first time
