- The following is content from the press release -
(Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Tomohiro Ikebe) has started a recruiting partnership with "skimama (https://skimama.jp/)," an online assistant service provided by BPO Technology Co. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinya Yamada), has started a recruitment collaboration with Fujiko-sanⓇ (https://fujiko-san.com/), an online assistant service provided by BPO Technology, Inc.
This collaboration will launch a new mechanism for skimama students to take their first steps as a work-at-home career after completing the program. Fujiko's side will also offer study sessions to learn practical skills, providing career support from many angles.
Background of Recruitment Collaboration
In today's society, the number of women who wish to balance work with childcare and family life is increasing every year. On the other hand, there are many who lack the skills and job opportunities to work from home and are unable to take the first step toward returning to society.
According to a survey conducted in January 2022 by the private research firm Shufu JOB Soken, more than 90% of respondents answered that job hunting after marriage or childbirth is "difficult," citing such reasons as "there are few jobs that can be compatible with family" and "I feel uneasy if I am away from work for a long time.
In response to these issues, "skimama," which has been helping women rebuild their careers, and "Fujiko-san," which offers flexible work styles, will collaborate to create a "cyclical career support model" that links learning to work.
Overview of each service
About skimama
skimama is a work-at-home support school for mothers, based on the concept of "gaining skills in your spare time to love yourself more.
You can learn business skills directly related to practical work, such as the use of web tools, online communication, web design, and installation management, completely online. After taking the course, we provide practical opportunities to apply what you have learned and to continuously improve your skills.
About Fujiko
Fujiko-San" is an online assistant service that allows clients to request assistants to perform back-office and other clerical tasks, including sub-tasks and non-core tasks that are necessary for the growth of the company, whenever they are needed, via e-mail or chat.
We also offer our staff who work as "Fujiko-san" a flexible work style that allows them to work completely from home, providing sustainable employment opportunities that are not affected by life events or changes in the environment.
Details of Cooperation
1.Provide employment information to SKIMAMA students
Information about employment opportunities and working at Fujiko-san, an online assistant, will be provided for skimama students and graduates.
Specifically, through company information sessions and casual online interviews, we help those interested in home-based assistant work (accounting, human resources, secretarial, SNS operation, etc.) to better visualize their actual work.
This will create an environment in which graduates can expand their career options and proceed with confidence to apply for jobs.
2. Provide information for curriculum expansion
With the aim of expanding the curriculum and content offered within skimama, the online assistant "Fujiko-san" will share her real-world knowledge and practical know-how gained in the field.
By providing information based on corporate needs and business trends, we will help students effectively acquire the skills required in the field.
Future Outlook
This kind of "collaboration between work-at-home schools and service practice providers" is still a rare initiative in the industry, and has the potential to become a standard model for the future.
Starting with this recruitment collaboration, skimama will further strengthen its consistent support system of "Learning → Practical work → Career advancement".
In the future, we will encourage more mothers to "work in their own way," focusing on the following three axes:
- Expansion of Collaboration Partners
By expanding cooperation with trusted practice partners like this one, we will increase the number of work options available to students to challenge themselves and provide support that fits their individual lifestyles. - Multiple layers of skill development opportunities
We aim to expand our curriculum and content so that our students can develop not only their basic skills but also their expertise over the medium to long term. - Providing a "place to continue learning
We will provide a community and structure where students can continue to learn new skills while working, rather than taking the course once and then calling it quits. We will also work to build diverse career paths.
skimama will continue to provide realistic and positive options for all mothers who wish to work in their own way, regardless of time or location.
Representative Comment (skimama Business Manager Ayane Ohkusa)
skimama was launched with the aim of creating a place where mothers can love themselves more and a society where they can shine as themselves. This collaboration is a big step forward in seamlessly providing "real work" opportunities after learning and improving their skills.
By working with a trusted business partner like Fujiko, we have created an environment where students can take a new step forward and keep going.
We would like to continue to work together to create a society where even mothers can shine, not because they are mothers, but because they are mothers.
