Empowering Students: Official Launch of 'LOUNGE' Career Management System by Enageed

Transforming Education with 'LOUNGE'

In an age where students' self-efficacy often shapes their education experience, Enageed, a Tokyo-based company, has taken a significant step forward by launching 'LOUNGE,' a career management system. This initiative aims not only to nurture the self-efficacy of middle school and high school students but also to empower educators, creating a more engaging educational environment.

The Importance of Self-Efficacy in Education

Recent studies have revealed alarming statistics about students' self-perception and confidence. While countries like the U.S., China, and South Korea report high percentages of students who believe in their worth, Japan lags with only 45.8%. Furthermore, a 2023 survey highlighted that just 17.5% of the Japanese youth expressed liking who they are, positioning Japan at the bottom among surveyed Western countries.

These statistics underscore a pressing need for tools that promote self-awareness and self-efficacy among students in Japan. With this challenge in mind, Enageed designed 'LOUNGE' to help teachers effectively support their students in building these vital characteristics.

Addressing Challenges in the Educational Landscape

Teachers today are grappling with increasing workloads and stress, leading to a significant rise in sick leave among educators. The education system faces unique hurdles—difficulties in understanding student perspectives and a complex relationship with parents are just a few examples. The shift in student needs demands that educators find new ways to connect and motivate their classes.

The introduction of 'LOUNGE' is a direct response to these challenges, emphasizing a collaborative approach between educators and students. By leveraging small, manageable success experiences, teachers can cultivate a sustainable atmosphere of growth and motivation, ultimately fostering an environment where students feel eager to express their thoughts and ambitions.

Key Features of 'LOUNGE'

1. Easy Tracking of Student Growth: Using AI, 'LOUNGE' provides teachers with tailored insights on each student's progress. This capability allows for more precise engagement—enabling teachers to offer personalized support that meets individual student needs without overwhelming them.

2. Reducing Teaching Burdens: To bolster teachers’ ability to foster self-efficacy and personal growth among students, 'LOUNGE' is designed to lessen preparation efforts while simultaneously enhancing instructional quality. By analyzing learning outcomes and student comprehension, the system alleviates teachers’ workload, allowing them to focus on effectively guiding student development.

3. Data-Driven Career Guidance: Students can accumulate a history of their thoughts, efforts, and achievements, resulting in an insightful data-rich portfolio that improves the quality of career counseling and mentoring sessions.

A New Era in Education

'LOUNGE' is not just a tool for academic instruction; it embraces the full spectrum of educational experiences—from classroom learning to extracurricular activities—transforming every interaction into an opportunity to enhance students' self-efficacy. The collaborative vision behind 'LOUNGE' hopes to reshape the educational experience for both students and educators in Japan.

As the founder of Enageed, Mitsukane Ujiie, emphasizes, the importance of teachers cannot be overstated. They play a vital role in the educational fabric and have the power to influence the future positively. Nevertheless, changes in society and student diversity complicate teachers' ability to achieve the deep connections they wish to foster.

With 'LOUNGE,' Enageed is dedicated to facilitating a supportive environment that encourages autonomy, creativity, and intrinsic motivation—key ingredients for future-ready learners.
