Introduction to the UIJ Turn Seminar
As part of our continuous efforts to promote regional revitalization, Workport, a recruitment agency with branches across all 47 prefectures in Japan, is excited to announce the upcoming free webinar titled "Shikoku UIJ Turn Seminar". This event caters to individuals interested in exploring job opportunities and living conditions in the four prefectures of Shikoku: Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi, and Tokushima. Through this webinar, we aim to provide crucial insights into the local job market and community life to facilitate informed career transitions.
Background of the Webinar
With the growing momentum around regional revitalization in Japan, the concept of UIJ Turn—moving from urban areas to rural regions—is gaining popularity. Shikoku's local governments are developing various support systems to encourage this trend, making it easier for individuals to consider a career move to this beautiful part of Japan. At Workport, we recognize the complexities that potential job seekers face when looking to relocate, particularly regarding the understanding of actual working conditions and lifestyle in these areas. To this end, we have organized this seminar to share valuable first-hand experiences from our employees who have successfully built their careers in Shikoku.
During the seminar, we will delve into important topics including:
- - The current employment landscape in Shikoku (job openings, market insights, and salary averages)
- - Cost of living and quality of life aspects in Shikoku (housing, transportation, and recreational activities)
- - Overview of Workport and its role in facilitating employment in the region
- - An interactive Q&A session to address your specific queries
