The number of users of the prefecture's scholarship repayment support system has tripled in three years.
The prefecture's scholarship repayment support system, which provides subsidies to small and medium-sized enterprises in the prefecture, is becoming more widely used to help young employees retain their jobs.
When the system was launched in 2020, there were eight people from three companies, but in fiscal 2011, this number had tripled to 28 people from five companies.
The system supports full-time employees of small and medium-sized enterprises in the prefecture who have been employed for less than three years and are under 30 years old to repay their scholarships to the Japan Student Services Organization and others.
Half of the support provided by companies to employees will be subsidized, up to 60,000 yen per year.
