AGS Skill Partners Launches Innovative Service TASAi for Management Professionals

In the evolving landscape of business, AGS Skill Partners, headquartered in Kita-ku, Osaka, has boldly taken the initiative to combat the pressing shortage of management professionals. Starting from September 1, 2025, they will launch a new service called "TASAi," aimed at nurturing and introducing candidates who can support business leaders. As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) grapple with the challenge of finding management talent, TASAi aims to bridge this gap and provide essential skills to aspiring professionals.

Background: The Need for Management Talent

Since its inception in 1970, AGS Group has identified and addressed client challenges through a range of services. Originally an accounting firm with services focused on tax, accounting, and business succession, AGS has expanded into various areas including M&A support, IPO assistance, business regeneration, international business consulting, healthcare, and business matching. Amidst these expansions, one urgent issue emerged: many SMEs, particularly in regional areas, expressed a lack of capable individuals for management roles. This feedback served as a catalyst for the creation of TASAi, which is designed not only to match candidates with businesses but also to cultivate their skills beforehand.

Understanding TASAi

TASAi stands out as an integrated support service that leverages AGS Group's extensive consulting knowledge. The unique aspect of this program is its dual focus: it seeks to provide job seekers with a supportive environment to develop relevant skills while simultaneously delivering reliable and trained management professionals to companies. The program ensures a sustainable growth framework for both aspiring candidates and the businesses they aim to join.

For Job Seekers

The TASAi program begins with an initial consultation to assess job seekers' current skills and the competencies required for their career objectives. By identifying the gaps, a personalized training curriculum is curated, allowing them to gain practical skills in finance, accounting, IPO processes, M&A, corporate rehabilitation, and human resources—all through hands-on consulting experience within the AGS framework. Furthermore, TASAi will offer ongoing support during job placement activities, assisting candidates in seamlessly transitioning to their new roles.

For Companies Struggling with Talent Acquisition

On the other side, companies facing challenges in talent recruitment can benefit from the TASAi program as well. This program engages job seekers in consulting work with AGS, providing them with an essential managerial perspective that equips them as immediate contributors in their potential roles. AGS Group’s expertise in management functions ensures that the candidates' skills are visible to companies seeking to fill specific needs, effectively matching demand with qualified talent. Additionally, post-placement support will enhance the retention and growth of these new hires, aiming to turn them into long-term assets for their organizations.

A Message from AGS Skill Partners' Leaders

Takahiro Watanabe, CEO of AGS Skill Partners, underscores the significance of TASAi, which derives its name from a classical idiom, "Tashi Zaisei," symbolizing a gathering of capable individuals working together for mutual growth. He emphasizes that the TASAi program offers a collaborative learning environment where candidates can work alongside AGS members, thus exposing them to the latest industry case studies and required skills in a short timeframe.

"By fostering the next generation of management talent, we aim to alleviate the isolation many business owners feel and support the future of our regions," says Watanabe. The hope is that TASAi will connect aspiring management professionals with local enterprises, facilitating new beginnings and mutual growth.
