Employment support seminars for single parents

In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, more people want to change their jobs from the food service industry to office work. We have been offering computer skills courses for single parents since December, 2021. In the beginner's course, we teach basic operations such as how to start up a computer and how to input text. In the practical course, we aim to improve their skills through exercises such as writing resumes and data inputting at work. In the future, we plan to hold seminars on various subjects such as business etiquette, speaking skills, telephone answering skills, and "Hou-Ren-Sou" (reporting and consultation) at work.

Questionnaire from attendees

  • I would like to try general office work, which I have never experienced before.
  • It took me a while to learn the terminology, but I want to keep learning and get used to it.
  • I was glad to be able to remember how to use a computer, as I had not used computer since I was certified in high school.

  • Send sanitary products to all junior high schools in Arakawa Ward (placed in women's restrooms)
