We will hold the 2025 Graduation Ceremony and Results Presentation for the Tosa Food Business Creator Human Resources Development Project
Date:
The Tosa Food Business Creator Human Resources Development Project (Tosa FBC) will hold the graduation ceremony and成果発表会 for the 18th cohort of the 2025 academic year on Saturday, March 14, at CHRES Series (155 Takasu-Saji, Kochi City).
Tosa FBC was launched in fiscal year 2008 as part of a food industry human resources development initiative linked to the Kochi Prefecture Industrial Promotion Plan. It is currently operated through collaboration with local organizations and businesses, supported by grants from Kochi Prefecture, and the fourth phase (Tosa FBC IV) of the project began in fiscal year 2023.Under the slogan “Become someone who can make a living through food!”, Tosa FBC implements an educational program to train “Food Business Creators”—specialized professionals who acquire expert knowledge in the food sector as well as the foundational knowledge and technical skills for research and development, and who can comprehensively integrate production, processing, distribution, and sales.
This year, once again, we welcomed many students not only from Kochi Prefecture but from all over Japan. After conducting a full year of online classes (including the Main Course, Introductory Course, and Partial Enrollment Course) and in-person classes (including the Fundamentals of Innovation Creation Course), the 18th cohort—marking the third year of Tosa FBC IV—consisting of 38 students has graduated, bringing the total number of Food Business Creators we have produced to 848.
当日は、修了式に続き、成果発表会も開催いたします。成果発表会では、(有)良品工房 代表の白田典子様による『「いいもの」から「買いたくなるいいもの」へ』と題した基調講演をはじめ、本年度の受講修了生・社会人大学院修了生による成果発表が行われます。成果発表会はオンライン配信も行いますので、皆様のお越しを心よりお待ちしています。
