An End-To-End Training Diploma That Help Match Graduates With Employers

  • And to quote "Japanese leaders have long promoted productivity improvements to drive economic growth. That has become an even greater priority as the country's low birth rates and rising life expectancy have reduced the domestic workforce (those aged 15 to 64 years) to 59.7 percent of the total population. Even with efforts to hire more women, retirees, and foreign workers to boost the labor pool, Japan's demographic shift threatens to stall GDP growth for the next decade.
  • With increased competition for talent and pressure to innovate, training and reskilling workers has become a national challenge. Few managers have the resources to help workers adapt to rapidly changing technologies, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. Workers also need more flexibility to go where their skills and training are most in demand. Companies can partner with government agencies to create a more end-to-end approach that includes developing training programs and helping match graduates with employers."
  • To help in filling in the gap based on the above given statement "to create a more end-to-end approach that includes developing training programs and helping match graduates with employers", the Tokyo Blockchain Academy broadened its goal to help fill the needs for Digital Transformation (DX) Talent Resource Development. The primary means is to enlist the unseen huge population of talent resource from the foreign migrants particularly from the GenZ and women residing in the country. GenZs' from abroad wishing to earn a certification through online studies on Blockchain Technologies are part of the personas of the first blockchain academy in Japan and Asia.
  • The approach is to provide specialized training diploma course on Blockchain Technologies that serves as a core technology of every digital transformation (DX) enabling technologies i.e. AI, IoT, Blockchain etc. as provided by a private senmon gakko - the Tokyo Blockchain Academy. Trainers and lecturers are mostly from the long list of experts from the Germany based non-profit, the Global Blockchain Initiative (GBI).
  • After a year of studies in acquiring knowledge and skills, another year of student internship program follows in collaboration with Japanese companies who are on the track to digital transformation. Internship qualification will be based on students developed skills that match to the collaborating company's needs. Having graduates to serve as blockchain talents up to blockchain specialists to help drive the country's digital transformation (DX) and contribute to the development of Society 5.0 are among the end results of the Tokyo Blockchain Academy's diploma program.
