Welcome to the SEELS DX Immersive English Program—an innovative social enterprise initiative dedicated to serving Japan's elderly population. This comprehensive program is designed to equip professionals, startup entrepreneurs, NPO staff, salarymen, employees, and executives nearing retirement, as well as the elderly, with the essential DX Business English communication skills necessary to excel in today’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
As Japan’s population continues to age, with 29.1% of its citizens now over the age of 65, the need for reskilling and upskilling has never been more urgent. A 2013 survey by a Japanese ministry revealed that 80% of respondents wished to continue working beyond the age of 65. However, the fast-paced advancements in technology are replacing traditional jobs, making it critical for older adults to acquire new skills to remain competitive and economically viable.
At SEELS, we recognize this challenge and are committed to providing solutions that address the specific needs of Japan’s elderly workforce. Our DX Immersive English Program is designed to bridge the gap by offering targeted training that combines English language proficiency with digital technology skills. This program is not just about learning a language—it’s about empowering individuals to participate fully in the global digital economy.
