Adecco Commences Operation of Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'FY2026 Reskilling Promotion Project'

Adecco, a workforce solutions brand of Adecco Japan—the Japanese subsidiary of the global human resources leader Adecco Group—has been commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to operate the 'FY2026 Reskilling Promotion Project.' Through this project, Adecco will provide support to employees across various employment types, job seekers, and companies seeking to implement reskilling initiatives.

In recent years, the advancement of digitization and DX has led to the obsolescence of traditional job skills. Additionally, the proliferation of generative AI suggests that some roles, such as administrative positions, may see a decline in labor demand as AI replaces human tasks. Meanwhile, the shrinking working-age population due to a declining birthrate and aging society has caused severe labor shortages, making the upskilling of existing talent indispensable. As the need for higher-level skills and labor shortages progress simultaneously, the importance of reskilling has reached an all-time high.

For job seekers from the 'employment ice age' generation and women working in non-regular employment, acquiring new skills through reskilling is expected to lead to full-time employment, expanded career scope, new job opportunities, and wage increases, making it a critical initiative for individual career autonomy.

Adecco has launched a new reskilling portal site to provide information, raise awareness, and facilitate consultations. For individuals, Adecco offers diagnostic content and seminars to explain the significance of reskilling, along with online consultations to support behavioral changes. For companies, Adecco provides seminars on the latest trends and practical case studies, and offers individual expert consultations to help organize challenges and determine the direction of their reskilling efforts based on their specific needs.

Adecco has a strong track record of operating numerous projects commissioned by local governments and organizations. Leveraging its long-standing expertise in reskilling support, the company remains committed to supporting career development for all workers and business growth for companies.
