Promoting Local Employment: OneCareer and W Inc.

OneCareer, a career data platform company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, partnering with W Inc. from Kobe, has been awarded a project contract for the third consecutive year. This initiative, recognized by Kobe City, focuses on enhancing the attractiveness of local businesses to university students, as well as facilitating meaningful interactions between students and potential employers. The project is aimed at promoting employment in the city and ensuring that talented graduates remain in Kobe.

This year, the team plans to significantly amplify their outreach by emphasizing video content to showcase what it’s truly like to work in Kobe. Local companies interested in participating will have the opportunity to feature their workplace in engaging interview videos. By presenting real-life testimonies and insights, the initiative strives to bridge the gap between local businesses and job seekers, ultimately fostering stronger connections.

Project Overview

• - Hosting Exchange Events: Arranging both offline and online meetings to create networking opportunities for students and businesses.

Comments from Stakeholders

Kobe City Comment:

Kobe City boasts 23 universities and junior colleges, with approximately 70,000 students, establishing itself as one of Japan's foremost university towns. The city aims to enhance recognition of local companies among students, thereby encouraging them to work in Kobe and realize its unique employment opportunities. We hope that the combination of OneCareer’s data resources and W Inc.’s local connections will result in even better matches between students and businesses than last year.

OneCareer Comment:

It is a privilege to support Kobe City in retaining and attracting young talent for the third consecutive year. By leveraging OneCareer’s national recruitment data and hiring expertise alongside W Inc.’s regional knowledge, we aim to create comprehensive support for local employers. This year's expansion into video content, alongside both online and offline networking events, will allow us to offer sustained support from awareness to successful matches, which we believe is crucial for securing future talent in Kobe.
