Eligible for the MHLW Workforce Development Subsidy
AI training — up to 75% off, effectively.
SMEs can have up to 75% of training expenses subsidized. A 400,000 JPY hands-on program can cost around 100,000 JPY net. We support you from eligibility assessment to paperwork.
The Reskilling for Business Transformation track is scheduled to end in March 2027. Plans must be filed at least one month before training starts — we recommend consulting early. (Information as of FY2026.)
