* [Career education web teaching materials job lens] *
Job Lens is a web teaching material platform for career education that visualizes various occupations that support local communities. The site introduces more than 100 types of occupations, and currently 47 occupations have been made into videos.
*As of August 2024
The videos are structured in an interview format, and each video focuses on one profession and one professional. In addition, the videos are concisely summarized in 5 to 7 minutes so that children can concentrate on watching them, and common questions are included so that they can be easily introduced in class. The video structure is easy to use in class, both for the children watching the video and for the teacher teaching the class.
Through Job Lens, we deliver the voices of real professionals about the rewards and challenges of work, so that children can feel more familiar with work and discover various jobs that make them proud of the region where they were born and raised, and help them discover their dreams and goals for the future. We provide an opportunity.

The content of the classes varies depending on the instructor and the company, but the classes take advantage of the characteristics of each class to convey the fun and difficulty of work that supports children’s daily lives, and to help them feel closer to their future dreams and work. We are doing this.
This is an on-site lecture mainly held in Fukuoka City.
In June 2024, we are expanding the scope of our activities and delivering the joy of work to more children, such as holding a completely online on-site class at Shishikui Junior High School in Tokushima Prefecture.
