Care-Mile Inc. opened the vocational transition support office "e-sports career Kisogawa" on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
At "e-sports career Kisogawa," the office provides a new form of employment support centered around games and esports.
A New Form of Vocational Transition Support to Improve PC Skills Through Games
Care-Mile Inc. opened the vocational transition support office "e-sports career Kisogawa" in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture.
"e-sports career" offers a diverse curriculum for people with disabilities, including gaming courses, Office (Excel/Word) courses, and even video editing courses by famous YouTubers.
It is an environment where individuals can acquire PC and WEB skills while finding employment that suits them.
Support Specialized in PC and WEB! Background of Establishment
Four years have already passed since a joint study by Nomura Research Institute and Oxford University predicted that "approximately 49% of jobs in Japan will disappear within 10 to 20 years due to the introduction of AI."
However, many vocational support offices nationwide are still primarily focused on light work, and the environment for improving IT skills is limited. Care-Mile Inc. is responding to these societal changes and providing support specialized in PC and WEB to promote social participation for people with disabilities.
Approaching the Challenges of Vocational Transition Support
In many cases, it is difficult to start a part-time job while attending a vocational transition support office, and the current situation makes it hard for individuals to fully display their potential due to financial and time-related anxiety and mental burden.
Furthermore, the reality is that the demand for human resources in the light work that many vocational transition support offices currently specialize in is decreasing due to automation.
To solve these challenges, "e-sports career" is focusing on creating an environment where individuals who have difficulty working in general employment can aim for skill improvement and employment with peace of mind, focused on PC and WEB, while also providing support that considers the stabilization of daily routines and improvement of basic physical strength.
Easy-to-Start Employment Support
The appeal of "e-sports career" is that you can start even with a casual interest like "I like games" or "I'm interested in YouTube."
You can take a step towards employment without overexerting yourself, while meeting peers who share the same interests.
