Adecco Launches Women’s IT Engineer Training Program in Tokyo

In an important step for gender inclusivity in the tech industry, Adecco, a leader in human resources services based in Tokyo, has officially kicked off the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s 2025 Women IT Engineer Training Program. This initiative is designed to support women who are currently seeking employment or working in non-regular positions, offering them specialized training to help them become IT engineers.

The Context of the Program

As more women return to the workforce after childbirth, caregiving, and other responsibilities, they often face challenges in balancing work and family life. Many of these individuals prefer non-regular employment due to the flexibility it offers. However, there is a significant number of women who desire full-time work, but find themselves held back by a lack of time, access to information, and financial resources for skill advancement.

In the face of a severe labor shortage in the IT sector, companies are increasingly focusing on hiring inexperienced workers and improving workplace environments to accommodate flexible work arrangements. Historically, IT engineering roles have been male-dominated, which presents a unique opportunity to recruit women without prior experience in the field. To successfully employ these candidates, there is a growing need for pre-trained individuals who have gained essential skills and capabilities.

Program Components and Goals

Through this landmark program, Adecco is committed to providing programming skills and other necessary training for women currently unemployed or in non-regular jobs, enabling them to transition into IT engineering roles. The program incorporates various training methodologies, including e-learning, to facilitate skill acquisition, along with comprehensive job placement assistance that promotes both training and employment.

Adecco has a strong track record of managing numerous delegated projects for public authorities and local governments. Drawing on years of expertise in developing digital talent, especially IT engineers, the organization aims to support the career development of all working individuals and contribute to the enhancement of corporate performance.
