Free Online Public Service Career Transition Guidance

TAC Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, provides educational services aimed at obtaining qualifications and will host a free online guidance session for individuals considering a career change to public service from the private sector.

This event will take place on June 22, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM, featuring Tetsuya Harano, a former deputy commissioner with extensive experience in administrative roles. He will cover recent trends in public service exams that emphasize personal attributes over traditional testing, as well as tips on enhancing communication skills necessary for public servants.

During the session, Harano will share insights on the transition from private enterprises to public service, drawing from his personal experiences in various administrative functions. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions during a dedicated Q&A segment, ensuring that all participants have their inquiries addressed thoroughly. Importantly, the online format allows for privacy, as participants’ faces and names will not be displayed, and entrance and exit from the session is at their discretion.

Target Audience

This session is primarily targeted at individuals in their late twenties or older with substantial work experience in private companies. We will begin by discussing the public service exams available to working professionals, moving on to explore the differences in examination systems and outlining the main exams available for experienced applicants. Through a blend of recent trends in public service testing, we aim to offer clear guidance suitable for those new to the field.

Participants will learn about the foundational skills assessed, including the types of subjects in the general knowledge exams, the unique aspects of the experience-based exams, and strategies for effectively preparing for both.
