In recent years, with the rapidly changing society due to informationization and globalization, there is an increasing need to teach children various careers and career paths in the field of high schools where all universities and faculties are being established and expanded. .. From April 2022, with the revision of the Course of Study, the subject of "Comprehensive Inquiry Time" has become compulsory, and the importance of career education through inquiry learning is increasing.

　Based on this social situation, NEC has developed an "online career counseling platform" that allows high school students to consult with working adults.By talking one-on-one with working people who are in line with the interests of high school students, we will broaden the horizons of one's career and help find new "wants to be" and "wants to do".

　In 2021, it will be demonstrated at Ishinomaki High School (Miyagi Prefecture), Tomeikan High School (Saga Prefecture), Japanese and Western Kudan Girls' High School (Tokyo), Sakuragaoka High School (Tokyo), and Tezukayama High School (Nara Prefecture). , A total of 135 students participated.

　The students who participated in the demonstration said, "I was able to know the specialized part in detail," and "I was asked not only to consult about my career path, but also to hear my personal worries, and my anxiety about the future was resolved." Many voices were raised.

　In addition, the teacher in charge of the high school said, "It is not possible to call a member of society who has a career that suits each student. There are great expectations for this online career counseling platform to solve such problems." By being able to select interviewers at the same time, it was possible to expand the course without narrowing it, and it gave me great potential for career guidance. "

　NEC is continuing to develop an "online career counseling platform" and is looking for schools to participate in the demonstration.
