if Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuyuki Ito) is launching a full-scale OEM program that enables partner companies to deliver its corporate AI training and AI-driven development training under their own brand. Building on the OEM offering previously introduced as part of its 'Business Partner Program' launched in December 2025, the company is now systematizing the offering into a comprehensive package that bundles the training curriculum, materials, instructor mentorship know-how, and expertise in subsidy application support. This allows education and training providers to launch AI training businesses without having to build their own curriculum or instructor systems from the ground up. The company is currently in final discussions with one education service provider (name withheld) to begin service delivery and is holding talks with several other companies.
Background: Surging Demand for AI Training and Lack of Provider Expertise
As the business use of generative AI rapidly expands, demand from companies for AI training continues to grow year by year. However, for training providers, designing practical curricula, keeping pace with constantly evolving tools, and securing instructors capable of mentoring participants to achieve real-world results in their workplaces remain significant barriers.
AI tools evolve rapidly, making training materials quickly outdated. Theoretical lectures alone are insufficient for participants to apply learning in their jobs; hands-on mentorship aligned with actual business challenges is essential. Developing such materials, instructor capabilities, and operational know-how in-house requires considerable time and cost, leading to increasing feedback from education and training providers saying, 'We want to offer AI training, but we can't develop the content ourselves.'
if Co., Ltd. has delivered numerous AI and AI-driven development training programs for corporate clients, consistently guiding participants to achieve practical results in their work. To extend this accumulated expertise through partner companies, the company launched its 'Business Partner Program' in December 2025, offering collaborative services such as commissioned curriculum development and licensing. This time, the highly requested OEM offering is being systematized into a comprehensive package that bundles all elements necessary for launching an AI training business and is being rolled out on a full scale.
What the OEM Package Includes
The OEM package delivers all essential components needed for partner companies to launch their own branded AI training services:
- Training Curriculum: A practical curriculum designed to deliver real-world results, covering generative AI applications and AI-driven development (e.g., business automation and in-house development using tools like Claude Code). - Training Materials: A complete set of hands-on learning materials, continuously updated to keep pace with evolving tools. - Instructor and Mentorship Know-How: Sharing of operational expertise for delivering training that mentors participants through their actual business challenges, not just theoretical lectures. Instructor arrangements can be discussed based on the partner company's situation. - Subsidy Application Support Knowledge: Expertise in applying for subsidies such as the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy, which companies can leverage when introducing AI training. *Note: This does not guarantee subsidy approval. Eligibility and payment amounts are determined by the relevant labor bureau.
With this package, partner companies can launch AI training services under their own brand without investing from scratch in curriculum development or instructor training.
Current Status
The company is currently in final discussions with one education service provider (name withheld) to begin OEM-based service delivery. It is also in discussions with multiple other companies, with growing interest primarily from education and training providers.
