Empowering Career Growth for Pharmacy Professionals

In September and October 2025, ApoPlus Career Co., Ltd. will host the industry seminar and joint company briefing aimed at supporting registered distributors and pharmacy clerks in the thriving pharmaceutical and drugstore industry. With the leadership of CEO Akira Fujimoto, this series of online events aims to nurture professionals aspiring to excel in a sector that has recently surpassed 10 trillion yen in market size due to a rising interest in self-medication among consumers.

Event Overview

The previous iteration of this event saw over 350 participants, with an impressive 98.4% reporting that the seminar provided valuable insights for their future career decisions. This year's event structure maintains a two-part format. The first segment will be an industry seminar focusing on current trends and career development insights, while the second part will provide an opportunity to engage with various employers actively seeking talent.

From September 10, 2025, with multiple sessions scheduled to follow, participants will discover pathways to achieve their professional aspirations in an ever-evolving market defined by high demand for registered distributors—individuals crucial for selling and advising on general medicines.

Addressing Industry Challenges

The key role of registered distributors in the drugstore industry is becoming increasingly vital, especially as their presence becomes imperative in a growing marketplace. However, there is a significant mismatch between the expanding demand for qualified professionals and the supply available in the market. Many newly credentialed individuals express uncertainty regarding available career paths, and seasoned professionals often feel a lack of opportunities to enhance their expertise.

Recognizing these challenges, ApoPlus Career has developed this seminar to support attendees in navigating their career trajectories and overcoming industry hurdles.
