if Co., Ltd. Enhances AI-Driven Development and Full-Stack Engineer Training Support for IT Development Companies — Launches Individual Consultation Sessions for In-House Development and New Engineer Training

if Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuyuki Ito) announces its ongoing initiatives in providing hands-on support for AI-driven development training and full-stack engineer training programs tailored to IT development companies engaged in both outsourced and in-house development. if distinguishes itself by not replacing clients’ existing development workflows or technology stacks, but instead partnering with companies to enhance their current development methods and technical assets. The company offers customized support addressing specific challenges such as eliminating knowledge silos in development processes and training new engineers.

Challenges Facing the IT Development Industry

Regardless of whether engaged in outsourced or in-house development, IT development teams frequently face the following structural challenges:

Development processes become overly dependent on individuals: Specification, implementation, and verification methods vary by developer, leading to practices based on personal experience and intuition that fail to standardize across teams.

AI tools fail to integrate into daily workflows: Even when companies trial AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor, they often lack clear guidelines for integrating them into daily development processes or establishing operational rules, resulting in only temporary usage.

Lack of structural capacity to train new engineers: While business-side training programs may exist, companies often lack dedicated technical training teams or established internal know-how, leaving engineer development to ad-hoc on-the-job training.

What if’s Hands-On Support Offers

if’s hands-on support does not follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum model that forces companies onto a predefined track. Instead, it focuses on improving the client’s own track—existing business processes, technology stacks, and development workflows.

AI-Driven Development Training: Participants learn practical features of tools such as Claude Code (primary), Cursor, GitHub CLI, Playwright, MCP (integration with Google Workspace, etc.), Git Worktree, Skills, Sub-agents, and CLAUDE.md, tailored to fit each company’s development flow.

Full-Stack Engineer Training: Using technologies like Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and GitHub Actions, participants build full-stack development skills from the ground up through practical project-based learning.

Hands-On Approach: The program combines weekly one-on-one mentoring with chat support. Input from learning materials accounts for only about 30% of the program, with the remaining 70% focused on output through real company-specific development tasks. An if instructor explains: "Learning materials make up only 30% of the training. The core focus is applying knowledge to real business challenges. This is a highly supportive, hands-on program."

By adopting this approach, the training aims to go beyond "learning and forgetting," directly contributing to the improvement of the client’s actual development environment.

Anticipated Hands-On Support Themes for IT Development Companies

The following initiatives are expected to serve as starting points for hands-on support in IT development companies. Each theme focuses on enhancing the company’s existing development methods rather than replacing them with external models.

Standardization and Skill Development of Development Workflows: Document company-specific development processes as AI-assisted procedures, making them reproducible and shareable across teams.

Improving Development Productivity: Implement improvements that can be integrated into daily workflows, such as AI-powered code reviews and parallel task management.

Training New and Junior Engineers: Establish a structured system enabling step-by-step mastery—from basic development tools to full-stack development and practical application building—through external hands-on support.

*The above are examples of support themes. Actual programs are individually designed based on each company’s development structure and technology stack.

Individual Consultation Sessions

if designs customized training curricula based on each IT development company’s unique development workflows, technology stacks, and training challenges. The company is now offering individual consultation sessions for firms seeking to eliminate knowledge silos in development, fully implement AI-driven development, or establish systems for training new engineers.

After understanding your current development structure and technology stack, if will propose optimal training designs and support approaches. The company can address industry-specific challenges such as skill-based development workflow standardization and new engineer training.
