Seminar on the Construction Industry's 2024 Issue: Seniors vs. Foreign Workers

On May 27, 2025, a significant media seminar titled "Assessing the Impact: Foreign Workers vs. Seniors in the Construction Industry's 2024 Problem" will be co-hosted by Senior Job Co., Ltd. and Guidable Inc. Both companies, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, have been at the forefront of addressing labor shortages in the construction sector. This event aims to highlight the effectiveness of senior and foreign labor solutions.

Senior Job specializes in assisting individuals over 50 in finding jobs, particularly within the construction sector for management positions. On the other hand, Guidable focuses on providing employment opportunities for foreigners, specifically permanent and long-term residents in Japan. The issues facing the construction industry in 2024 prompted both firms to receive an influx of recruitment inquiries from various sectors, with construction experiencing a substantial demand for skilled labor.

The seminar will cover an analysis of the workforce contributions from both seniors and foreigners, discussing which group had a more significant impact on mitigating labor shortages. This is the first collaborative effort between Senior Job and Guidable, making it a landmark event for both entities.
