The Future Creation Executive Committee for High School Students (within Progress Co., Ltd.) will hold the second "Jibun-ryoku School" career event for high school students on Sunday, April 26, 2026. The first session gathered high school students from 27 schools across a wide area of Okayama Prefecture, including Okayama City and Kurashiki City, and received high praise for "alleviating anxieties about future career paths." This second session will specialize in four high-demand fields: [construction, machinery, electricity, manufacturing]. It will be updated and implemented as a "dense half-day program" combining deeper career understanding, self-analysis, and aptitude testing, with the participation of 8 excellent local technical companies that support the region.
