San'in Coast Collaboration: UIJ Turn Seminar
In an initiative to promote the allure of relocating to the scenic San'in region of Japan, the renowned staffing agency
Workport is set to host a free online seminar targeting individuals interested in understanding the local work and living conditions in Tottori, Shimane, and Hyogo prefectures. This collaborative seminar, aptly named the
San'in UIJ Turn Seminar, aims to provide invaluable insights into job opportunities and the lifestyle associated with moving to these beautiful coastal areas.
Background of the Seminar
As a staffing agency with a footprint across all 47 prefectures in Japan, Workport is uniquely positioned to conduct this seminar. With a rising interest in
UIJ turns (which refers to the migration from urban areas to rural regions), the local governments of Tottori, Shimane, and Hyogo have been actively supporting initiatives to attract new residents. Armed with data and firsthand experiences, Workport is committed to maximizing awareness and support for those contemplating a life-changing move to the countryside.
Despite the growing interest in UIJ turns, many remain hesitant to take the plunge due to uncertainties regarding career opportunities and the living environment. The seminar will feature real stories and experiences shared by Workport employees who have successfully established their careers and lives in these prefectures. From salary expectations to job markets and lifestyle aspects such as housing, transportation, and leisure activities, the event promises to cover all vital topics for prospective movers.
Participants will also gain access to insights that only a recruitment agency such as Workport can provide about the local job market trends, further easing any uncertainties regarding their potential relocation.
