 Furthermore, as the industrial structure changes and technological innovation progresses, the abilities required of individual human resources have become more complex and sophisticated, and it has been positioned that human resource development in the service industry at universities and other institutions is important.

 In the United States, there are already abundant specialized educational institutions such as Cornell University's Faculty of Hotel Management and the Culinary Institute for the development of management personnel and management personnel in the service industry, but it is said that such efforts have been delayed in Japan. increase.

 Therefore, from XNUMX, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will move to a university that develops professional and practical education programs to develop the next generation of management human resources and management human resources in collaboration with industry as "Industry-Academia Collaboration Service Management Human Resources Development Project". (Support target for XNUMX schools in XNUMX years until XNUMX).

 Since it is supposed to support XNUMX schools in XNUMX years, it is expected that there will be many applications in XNUMX, considering that XNUMX cases were adopted in XNUMX.
 When it comes to developing human resources for service management, the faculties of commerce, business administration, tourism, agriculture, etc. are the main target faculties, and I think it is easy to imagine initiatives for the sixth industrialization of the region related to tourism.Even in faculties such as the Faculty of Letters and the Faculty of Science and Technology, which are difficult to connect with the service industry at first glance, by successfully collaborating the curriculum with other faculties, it may be possible to develop human resources for service management.

 I am very much looking forward to seeing what will come out in the application for XNUMX.
