Japanese Language School "Japan Career Center (JCC)" opened at Padang State University, Indonesia.

Career Planning Co., Ltd. (Address: Daiichi Central Bldg., 6-36 Honmachi, Kita-ku, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture; President: Hiromichi Makino) has opened the Japanese language school "Japan Career Center (JCC)." One month after opening, classes are proceeding smoothly. JCC collaborates with the university to provide free Japanese language and business culture education to current students and graduates, aiming for employment in Japan. Additionally, the center provides end-to-end support, from matching with Japanese companies after graduation to follow-up after joining the company, aiming to support talent who can thrive in Japanese society. The decision to select Padang State University in Indonesia was based on the country's pro-Japanese nature, stable labor force, and high capacity for coexistence. The company focused on Sumatra, an area with few corporate entries and high potential as a "blue ocean." Padang State University is a national university located in Padang, West Sumatra, with approximately 40,000 students across 10 faculties. The presence of a Japanese language department and many students interested in Japan led to the opening.
