GLOBIS Expands English Subtitles to Over 19,000 Learning Videos

GLOBIS Introduces English Subtitles for Global Talent Development

GLOBIS, a prominent business education provider based in Tokyo, has recently implemented English subtitles for all courses on its subscription-based video learning service, GLOBIS 学び放題 (GLOBIS Unlimited). This addition now allows over 19,000 pieces of content to be accessible in English, marking a significant move towards creating a seamless learning environment for global professionals.

This upgrade is part of GLOBIS's strategy to strengthen its position as a leader in developing global human resources. By late 2025, GLOBIS will integrate its Japanese service with GLOBIS Unlimited, its English counterpart, enabling users to access both services under a single contract. This integration aims to provide a consistent learning platform across linguistic and regional boundaries, supporting multinational organizations in fostering shared knowledge.

The necessity for global talent cultivation has been increasing as Japanese companies expand internationally. Establishing a coherent learning environment that transcends language and geography is essential for effective personnel development. In response to demands from clients for non-Japanese speakers to access the rich content of GLOBIS 学び放題, the introduction of English subtitles addresses this challenge.

Moreover, GLOBIS Unlimited has also introduced Chinese subtitles, enhancing its multilingual support to a total of thirteen languages, including Japanese, Spanish, and Thai. This expansion further promotes diverse learning options, catering to the needs of employees from various linguistic backgrounds. This strategic enhancement empowers organizations to offer equal learning opportunities to all employees, fostering a culture of collaborative knowledge acquisition on a global scale.

Background of the Initiative

As Japanese corporations seek to strengthen their presence internationally, the need for skilled global talent has never been more critical. Providing a consistent learning environment, whether language-based or cultural, plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. The upcoming service integration of GLOBIS 学び放題 and GLOBIS Unlimited will facilitate a unified approach to learning, enabling organizations to deploy a common educational foundation across varied employee demographics.

The addition of English subtitles to GLOBIS 学び放題 allows non-Japanese speakers to engage with the content more efficiently. The flexibility offered by this new feature means that employees can choose learning modules that align with their native languages or languages they wish to acquire, leading to a significantly enhanced educational experience. The implementation of AI-powered machine translations ensures the accuracy and quality of the subtitles, providing learners with a reliable resource.

Subtitle Features and User Experience

The newly introduced subtitle services drastically broaden the spectrum of learning opportunities by offering courses tailored to the learner's native language and preferred language combination. By simply selecting the “CC (subtitles)” or “Settings” button on the video playback screen, users can customize their viewing experience and choose their desired language.

Key updates include:

- English subtitles for all GLOBIS 学び放題 courses: High-quality business content designed for Japanese speakers is now accessible with English subtitles. This advancement simplifies the dissemination of unique Japanese business insights, culture, and trends to employees worldwide.
- Multilingual support in GLOBIS Unlimited: The addition of Chinese subtitles enhances presentation formats for English content and supports users from a wider variety of linguistic backgrounds, promoting inclusive learning objectives.

Benefits for Multinational Corporations

The integration of English subtitles into GLOBIS 学び放題 provides several advantages for companies:

- Accelerated Organizational Communication: By unifying the content available in both Japanese and English, the learning materials facilitate improved communication based on shared knowledge among team members from diverse backgrounds.
- Enhanced English Proficiency for Japanese Employees: Watching courses in Japanese with English subtitles allows Japanese employees to effectively learn business terminology and expressions. Blending inputs from both services will amplify learning outcomes in English acquisition for users.
- Cultural Knowledge Enhancement: GLOBIS Unlimited features content that clarifies Japanese business etiquette and communication styles, thereby aiding international team members in understanding unique Japanese practices, fostering smoother interactions among diverse teams.

Courses like “Practical Feedback to Promote Member Growth” and “Lessons from Hit Products Developed Post-Disaster” exemplify the intersection where international professionals can deepen their understanding of the Japanese corporate landscape, customer psyche, and the dual responsibilities of social issue resolution and business viability in Japan.
