Industry-Academia Ecosystem 'Career Stadium' Launched. A 'Co-creation Guild' with '24 Methods' and '264 Skills' Connects Corporate DX Problem Solving Directly to Next-Gen Talent Portfolio Building. Book 'Recommendation for Holistic Admissions' Published Simultaneously.

Blue Spring Co., Ltd. (PR & Operations, Headquarters: Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture) and Kawamoto Kikaku Co., Ltd. (Planning & Production, Headquarters: Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture) have fully launched the career ecosystem 'Career Stadium,' which provides an end-to-end solution from the acquisition of next-generation AI skills to the resolution of corporate challenges. This method has already produced successful applicants to top universities like Keio University every year, and many young talents armed with next-generation AI skills have secured direct scout offers from advanced companies. With the launch of this service, we are beginning to recruit sponsoring companies to provide practical business challenges (Guild Quests) to students, as well as educational institutions looking to outsource portfolio (activity record) building.

Background of Development: A 'One-Stop Economic Zone' Solving Structural Issues in the Labor Market and Education Sector Currently, Japanese companies are facing a severe organizational challenge of a shortage of AI and IT talent, and there is an ongoing shift towards job-based employment even in new graduate hiring. At the same time, in university admissions, holistic selection (AO admissions) is rapidly increasing, demanding practical portfolios. However, the current education market suffers from a fatal disconnect: while there are places to 'learn,' there is no place to test those skills in the real world and turn them into 'achievements.' 'Career Stadium' is Japan's first next-generation career ecosystem that shatters this disconnect between 'education' and the 'real world,' solving it through the sharing of real corporate infrastructure.

The 'Three Absolute Infrastructures' that Make Up Career Stadium This system consists of 'ACADEMY (Practical Learning),' 'LICENSE (Practical Ability),' and 'GUILD (Practical Achievement)'.
