Join the Kyoto and Nara UIJ Turn Seminar

The 13th edition of the UIJ Turn Seminar, focusing on the historical cities of Kyoto and Nara, has been announced. Organized by Workport, a leading recruitment agency with branches across Japan, this free webinar aims to provide valuable insights for those interested in working and living in these culturally rich regions.

Background of the Seminar

With a strong presence in all 47 prefectures of Japan, Workport has the capability to host a unique “Kyoto and Nara Joint UIJ Turn Seminar.” As the trend of U-turn, I-turn, and J-turn (UIJ Turn) is gaining momentum in Japan, both the Kyoto and Nara prefectures are actively promoting initiatives to support individuals making these transitions. Workport, actively engaged in recruitment support including UIJ Turn placements, recognizes that many prospective job seekers are hesitant to make the leap due to uncertainties about the local job market and living conditions. This seminar seeks to bridge that knowledge gap by featuring Workport employees who have successfully made their own careers in Kyoto and Nara.

During the webinar, attendees will gain firsthand insights into the local job market (including job openings and salary expectations) and living conditions (such as housing, transportation, and leisure options) in these enchanting regions. The seminar will also cover industry perspectives on hiring trends, empowering participants to make informed decisions about their potential move.
