ORENDA WORLD's Initiatives to Transform AI Skills

ORENDA WORLD, a Tokyo-based company aimed at integrating creativity and technology, is launching a hands-on AI training program named A.I.KEN Reskilling Camp for the employees of Saibu Gas Holdings starting on July 31, 2026. The program seeks to implement generative AI into real work environments, promoting transformation from the ground up.

Background of the Initiative: AI as a Crucial Skill

As generative AI rapidly spreads, businesses face significant changes in their operating environments. However, many companies report issues such as insufficient employee expertise in AI usage and a lack of noticeable improvements in operations. This disparity emphasizes the importance of nurturing talents who can utilize AI effectively to foster significant change within their organizations.

ORENDA WORLD believes that cultivating individuals who can not only understand AI but also use it to enhance their work processes is vital for the AI Transformation (AX) of companies and regional revitalization. To enable this, the company will run the program specifically targeting employees in business development within Saibu Gas Holdings, focusing on improving their AI usage skills and employing these in practical tasks.

A Practical Programme Beyond Simple Training

The A.I.KEN Reskilling Camp is designed to transcend traditional training paradigms, ensuring participants engage in practice, integration, and outcomes throughout the program. This is structured across two main phases:

Day 1: Participants will experience and master Microsoft 365 Copilot, focusing on prompt design and practical usage in the workplace. This initial session aims to help employees learn how to use AI as a productive partner through hands-on activities.

Approximately Two Weeks – Application Phase: Throughout this period, participants will tackle real-world challenges involving tasks such as creating documents, organizing information, and automation processes. They will produce tangible outcomes that can be trialed within their operational environment.

Day 2: Participants will present their completed projects while acquiring knowledge regarding AI security, internal usage protocols, and strategies to foster AI integration across the organization.

To date, over 1,000 individuals have benefited from past iterations of the A.I.KEN Reskilling Camp, leading to high satisfaction ratings among participants.

Structure of the A.I.KEN Programme

The A.I.KEN program is devised to support organizations comprehensively, from the introduction of AI technologies to their establishment and fundamental adaptation. This comprehensive support aims not only for the installation of AI tools but for sustainable AX/DX (Digital Transformation) efforts that yield genuine productivity enhancements across the organization.

In the upcoming program for Saibu Gas Holdings, training will focus on the practical applications of Microsoft 365 Copilot, encompassing project planning, research, documentation, AI agents, and security protocols.

Feedback from previous attendees has highlighted how the program has facilitated learning that truly translates into their everyday work. Comments often include astonishment at being able to create web pages and applications despite limited prior experience with generative AI, as well as the benefits of networking with peers from related fields that provided fresh perspectives.
