Career support and mentoring platform for high school students

Social issue to tackle | Business concept

A survey conducted by Nippon Foundation found that many Japanese young people did not see themselves as full members of society, did not have a dream for the future, and did not believe they could change their country or society.

Motivation

People nowadays complain that “young people don’t know what to do with their lives.” However, it is not their fault not to know what to do, but rather adults’ fault for not teaching young people what opportunities the world has to offer. So, as an adult, I want young people to be able to find their way.
