To date, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has provided support in a variety of areas, including industrial development, tourism promotion, medical care, and disaster prevention through the “Future Tokyo” Strategy 17 Tama/Island Regional Industrial Promotion Project. ・Current status of career awareness among young people In the ranking of desired occupations for graduates in 2025, the first place is local civil servant, and the second place is national civil servant, and in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Kansai, and other regions, the field of civil servants is narrow and the field is becoming more and more popular.
