Leading company in Specified Skills, ONODERA USER RUN, forms business alliance with dip Corporation, which develops human resource and DX services, to begin offering solutions for worsening labor shortages.

ONODERA USER RUN Inc. (President & CEO: Jun Kato, Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "OUR"), which develops human resource education for Specified Skills in various Asian countries and provides services for introducing Specified Skills personnel to Japan, as well as support for their lives and retention, announced on July 7, 2026, that it has entered into a business alliance agreement with dip Corporation (President & CEO: Hideki Tomita, Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "dip"), which operates human resource and DX businesses, with the aim of establishing a joint support scheme to resolve the hurdles in introducing Specified Skills personnel.

"Introduction Hurdles" to be Resolved by This Alliance and Joint Support Scheme

OUR offers "OUR Straight Through," a service that handles the entire process from recruitment and education to introduction and post-arrival retention support for personnel, all in-house without outsourcing.

In this alliance, we will maximize this strength and combine it with dip's extensive customer base nationwide to build a new joint support scheme that resolves the hurdles companies face in introducing Specified Skills personnel.

dip will provide information and disseminate know-how regarding the utilization of foreign workers with Specified Skills as a new option to resolve labor shortages to its diverse customer base across various fields nationwide, and will introduce companies considering or wishing to introduce such personnel to OUR.

OUR will provide Japanese language and specialized education for Specified Skills to excellent students who have passed a rigorous screening process at our free education facility, "OUR BLOOMING ACADEMY." We will then match them with accepting companies introduced by dip and provide one-stop support, including life and retention support after they begin working.

Joint Seminar Held: "Future Human Resource Acquisition" to Clear the 3 Walls of Foreign Employment Before Entry

We will hold a joint seminar by dip and OUR.

This seminar will explain new human resource acquisition methods that resolve the three walls of "language," "culture," and "communication" that trouble on-site operations, before entry, thereby reducing the burden of acceptance. Issues such as "burden of acceptance on-site" and "walls of language and culture" are common themes across all industries. We encourage you to participate, as the content will be useful when considering the recruitment of foreign personnel.
