Recommendations : In a lot of areas in Japan, they are suffering from depopulation. A A
decrease in the number of children and aging. B The change of theindustrial establishment. C EThe human resources are transferring andJapan is becoming globalized. A lot of youths tend to not get a job in theirlocal community, then go to urban areas. We took the lead in tacking theissue which disturbs the constant development of the local community. Its
hard for small organizations to stand up against the decrease in thenumber of children and aging. By making an impact on creating humanresources in the local area, we encourage the constant development of
the local community. The students had a chance to find out about uniquejobs in the local community, and the companies realized its important tomake an appeal. Our purpose is to open up making a change and growthin the business field for the local youth. A We take a step forward tonurture human resources for supporting the local community for the next
generation, and B We create human resources to consistently support thelocal community. Based on the JCI Missions, we act these 2 things
