New Collaboration for International Student Employment

Recently, Gazillion Co., a company promoting casual interactions between businesses and students through its platform "ABC," has entered into a comprehensive partnership agreement with Yayoi Gakuen, a leading vocational school in Japan specializing in foreign students. This initiative aims to enhance the employment prospects for approximately 1,600 international students enrolled at Yayoi Gakuen, who primarily hail from various Asian countries.

Background of the Agreement

Yayoi Gakuen's diverse curriculum includes courses in Japanese language, trade business, management, translation interpretation, and training Japanese language teachers. Many students aspire to leverage their specialized skills to secure employment in Japan. However, numerous companies lack experience in hiring foreign students, leading to challenges in connecting due to Japan's unique job seeking and recruitment processes.

Objectives of the Agreement

The collaboration seeks to streamline and improve these processes. ABC, Gazillion's initiative, facilitates a direct recruiting system that allows businesses to directly engage with international students possessing the necessary skills. This approach fosters an open dialogue and offers students a chance to demonstrate their abilities through part-time work, bolstering mutual understanding and improving hiring outcomes.

Through this partnership, the intention is to enhance the frequency of face-to-face interactions between Japanese companies and foreign students, thereby breaking down psychological barriers to hiring foreign individuals and ultimately increasing their employment opportunities in Japan.

Key Areas of Collaboration

The agreement encompasses several pivotal areas, including:
1. Promotion of career education.
2. Enhancement of local employment and understanding of job roles.
3. Creation of employment opportunities and adoption of digital transformation in recruitment.
4. Promotion of co-creation within the community.
5. Talent development initiatives.
6. Advancement of academic research.
7. Other collaborative endeavors aimed at industry-academia partnerships.
