NINAITE has formed a capital and business alliance with Neo Career, integrating support for the acceptance of specified skilled foreign workers through investment and business cooperation. The alliance will begin on 1 November 2026.
Against a backdrop of the acceptance of specified skilled foreign workers in Japan and a worsening labor shortage, particularly in nursing care, NINAITE and Neo Career are forming a capital and business alliance. Demand for workers in the nursing care sector is expected to reach approximately 2.4 million in fiscal 2026, while the number of foreign residents has remained at approximately 444,256. The two companies will establish an integrated structure providing services from the introduction of foreign workers through post-employment support.
Under the alliance, Neo Career will refer companies to NINAITE, while NINAITE will handle worker introductions and support after acceptance. NINAITE partners with approximately 80 overseas training schools and will introduce workers using a database of approximately 5,000 people. After employment, support from staff who speak local languages and regular interviews will help promote retention. The target comprises companies seeking to accept specified skilled foreign workers, including in the nursing care sector.
Going forward, NINAITE will begin offering the beta version of its OS “ninaite.ai,” which integrates preparation of residence application documents and foreign worker information management, free of charge. The company will consider expanding the scope of the alliance, entering fields beyond nursing care and using the foreign employment OS, with the aim of achieving benefits for companies, foreign workers, local communities and Japan.
