Out of KidZania vocational programs to held in Saga and Fukushima

The “Out of KidZania” vocational experience programs are scheduled to take place in Saga and Fukushima on November 7 and 8, 2026. Supervised by KCJ GROUP, these events allow elementary and junior high school students to engage in real-world work experiences outside of traditional KidZania facilities.

In Saga Prefecture, the program will feature 42 different activities, including traditional industries such as Arita ware, Morotomi furniture, and Ozaki dolls, alongside roles like bus drivers and hairdressers. The initiative aims to combat local population outflow and labor shortages by fostering interest in regional industries.

In the Soso region of Fukushima Prefecture, the event will offer 27 types of work experiences, such as banana harvesting, sake brewing, and restaurant service. This fifth consecutive year of the program in Fukushima seeks to support career education and cultivate local pride among the next generation of workers.
