New Approach to Nursery Staffing

In an effort to combat the critical staffing shortages plaguing public nurseries across Japan, Career Field Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, has launched a groundbreaking new model designed specifically for public institutions. This innovative approach, which focuses on hiring annual accounting staff, offers a significant reduction in recruitment costs, making it possible to secure both talent and training simultaneously.

Addressing Staffing Shortages in Public Nurseries

The scarcity of nursery teachers has reached alarming levels in public nurseries nationwide. Particularly, annual contract staff have become increasingly difficult to attract due to concerns over job stability. This ongoing issue poses serious risks to the provision of reliable childcare services.

As a result, many local governments have had to resort to employing recruitment agencies or labor dispatch services, leading not only to rising costs but also contributing to pressures on the private nursery job market.

Proven Expertise in Private Nurseries

Career Field Inc. has previously leveraged partnerships with institutions such as the Child and Family Agency and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to successfully implement a zero-cost budget system for acquiring nursery teacher qualifications within private nurseries. This approach has led to the successful recruitment of motivated candidates across more than 180 private nurseries. However, the unique nature of public nurseries meant that this model could not be directly applied, prompting many municipalities to inquire about comparable systems for public institutions.

A Revolutionary Cost Structure for Public Nurseries

The newly developed package stands out with its groundbreaking approach, achieving about one-tenth the cost of conventional staffing methods, which includes staffing agencies (25-30% margin) and direct placement fees (1 to 1.2 million yen per individual). This model offers municipalities several benefits:

• - Significant Cost Reduction: It dramatically compresses the per-person hiring costs.
• - Stable Human Resources: It enables targeted recruitment and development of talent aligned with local childcare needs.
• - Job Creation: It fosters new career opportunities and employment for local residents.

Vision for the Future

Through this initiative, we aim to resolve the staffing challenges faced by public nurseries across Japan, thereby contributing to the elimination of waiting lists for childcare and improving the quality of services. In the first year, we plan to implement the model in 20 local governments, with aspirations to expand it beyond nursery teachers to encompass other public service roles in the future.

Inquiry for Information and Resources

This undertaking serves as a model project to explore the viability of staffing solutions for public nurseries. Whether or not municipalities can implement this system at present is not a prerequisite for dialog. We welcome any inquiries for information regarding the positioning of this scheme and validation of its principles.
