Transfer of the childcare business and shift to marriage-oriented matchmaking services for the childcare industry

「In corporate support services, we developed and provided marriage-hunting support service systems to 3 companies, compared with 1 in the same period of the previous year. Of these, the marriage-hunting support service for childcare workers began operating in February 2019.」

「The matchmaking support service for childcare workers developed and provided during the second quarter is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter.」

「As corporate support, the company developed and provided a new matchmaking support service system for childcare workers to help improve their quality of life.」

「The company entered into a capital and business alliance agreement with 株式会社グローバルグループ, whose shares are listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and under the agreement transferred all of its childcare business, “Mebae Hoiku Room,” to 株式会社グローバルキッズ, a wholly owned subsidiary of 株式会社グローバルグループ, effective 30 June 2018. From the perspective of supporting improvements in childcare workers’ quality of life, 株式会社グローバルグループ also intends to provide reemployment support for childcare workers and matchmaking support as part of their employee benefits. The company, which has extensive expertise in matchmaking support, plans to cooperate in this initiative with support from 株式会社グローバルキッズ, the transferee of the business, and plans to launch a new matchmaking support service. The launch date is under discussion.」

「We will enter into a capital and business alliance and transfer the entire employer-led childcare business to 株式会社グローバルキッズ. Under the alliance, we will also launch a marriage-support service for people working in the childcare industry and concentrate management resources on the marriage-support business to achieve growth.」
