Adecco's Role in Advancing Tokyo's Workforce Skills

Adecco, a leading global human resource service provider, has officially commenced its role in the Tokyo Reskilling Promotion Project for fiscal year 2028, overseen by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. This initiative aims to facilitate reskilling for current employees, job seekers, and businesses keen on upgrading workforce skills in today's digital landscape.

As the world increasingly embraces digital transformation, traditional job skills are rapidly becoming obsolete. The rise of generative AI technologies has raised concerns about potential decreases in labor demand for certain positions, especially in administrative roles. In parallel, the declining working-age population due to the aging demographic poses a significant challenge, emphasizing the necessity for enhancing existing workforce skills.

Importance of Reskilling

In this context, reskilling is of paramount importance. It is particularly critical for segments of the workforce such as the generation that faced employment challenges during the economic downturn (known as the “employment ice age”) and women re-entering the workforce. Reskilling initiatives are expected to open doors for them, potentially helping them secure full-time positions, expand their career opportunities, and achieve salary increases. This movement is not only essential for individual career development but is also a vital response to the broader issues of labor shortage and skill mismatches in the market.

Adecco's Commitment to Reskilling

Through the Tokyo Reskilling Promotion Project, Adecco will launch a dedicated reskilling portal site aimed at enhancing public awareness and providing resources for individuals and organizations. The portal will offer diagnostic tools, informative webinars, and online consultations to educate users about the significance of reskilling. Adecco's approach includes:

• - Individual Support: Engaging participants with interactive content, facilitating seminars that emphasize the value of reskilling, and providing tailored online consultations to help individuals catalyze their career transformations.
• - Corporate Solutions: Offering companies access to expert-led seminars detailing the latest trends and best practices in reskilling, coupled with personalized consultations to help businesses define their specific needs and objectives in workforce development.

Adecco's extensive experience in managing various delegated projects for municipalities and organizations underlines its capacity to deliver effective reskilling support. Leveraging years of accumulated knowledge, Adecco is poised to aid the career progression of individuals while simultaneously fostering the growth of businesses across Tokyo and beyond.
