About Our Business

Our main English-related business, the online English conversation service “RareJob Eikaiwa,” is a business model that consists of the two wheels of providing lessons by Philippine tutors to the Japanese English educational market. We have four subsidiaries in the Philippines that provide over 6,000 Filipino with opportunities to work as tutors and staff actively. We have contributed to the revitalization of the local economy by creating new works through local subsidiaries that take the initiative in managing everything from recruitment to training and the introduction of an evaluation system, regardless of the form of employment. At the same time, we are improving the quality of our services through the provision of lessons.

We are contributing to the achievement of SDGs in both Japan and the Philippines. For example, we are accelerating English education and global talent development, and in the Philippines we are contributing to economic growth and women’s active participation by providing jobs. We will continue to strive to further increase of corporate value through corporate management that balances high growth potential as a listed company and social contribution.
