Introduction
In a dynamic labor market characterized by a severe shortage of young talent, the smooth transition from student to professional has become increasingly critical for businesses. Lightworks, a Tokyo-based leader in learning management systems (LMS), is taking significant steps to address these challenges with its newly launched e-learning program called the Freshers Series. Set to officially start in September 2025, this innovative series aims to equip new employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles and mitigate the anxiety that often accompanies such transitions.
The Challenge of Developing Young Talent
As companies face a growing demand for skilled workers, the need for effective early training programs cannot be overstated. Organizational success hinges on the ability to cultivate new hires who can adapt quickly and contribute effectively. Lightworks recognized this urgent need and designed the Freshers Series to empower HR professionals to create impactful training experiences without the heavy lifting traditionally associated with curriculum development.
Engaging and Effective Learning Experience
The Freshers Series has been meticulously designed to maximize engagement among participants while easing their shift from student life to professional responsibilities. By integrating various engaging elements such as animations, quizzes, simulations, and gamified content, Lightworks ensures that learners not only absorb knowledge but do so in a stress-free environment that promotes enjoyment. This comprehensive learning approach is particularly beneficial for capturing the attention of younger audiences who may be new to corporate culture.
Highlighted Courses Set for Release
On October 15, 2025, the Freshers Series will unveil two essential courses designed to foster professional development:
1. Introduction to the Professional Mindset
This course aims to deepen understanding of the attitudes and mindsets essential for thriving in a corporate environment. It addresses common apprehensions by instilling a sense of professional identity and organizational awareness. Participants will have access to assessment tests to reinforce their learning, thus solidifying their newly acquired skills.
2. Business Etiquette Proficiency Check
This course enables participants to evaluate their understanding of essential business etiquette skills. It allows learners to identify their strengths and weaknesses in various aspects of business interactions. The iterative nature of the course enables users to enhance their foundational knowledge through repeated practice, cultivating confidence and professionalism.
