Japan’s government plans to expand opportunities for students and working adults to acquire digital skills, aiming to add about 110,000 people studying in the field through fiscal 2024 as it faces a shortage of talent in areas like artificial intelligence. From a report: There are an estimated 1 million digital workers in Japan. The government projects there will be a shortage of 2.3 million by fiscal 2026. Japan needs more business architects, who can help companies adopt digital technology, as well as data scientists. <\/p>\n

The goals were set in June as part of the Kishida government’s “new capitalism” action plan, which aims to secure a total of 3.3 million digital workers by the end of fiscal 2026, out of a labor force of 68 million people. “We will work to achieve these goals,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told a news conference on July 25. Japan will accredit courses that teach the necessary knowledge and skills. There are concerns about a lack of instructors, so the government will consider ways to allow companies to dispatch specialists with hands-on experience.<\/p>\n
