Project

WORLD BUSINESS LEARNING Project
The WORLD BUSINESS LEARNING Project was launched in 2018, prompted by the life-saving efforts in Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach in 2015, as well as the increase in suicide cases and suicide rates among young people in both the United States and Japan. Its aim is to serve as a guiding light for the younger generation towards a better future.

The project involves conducting interviews with successful entrepreneurs and individuals who have achieved success, gathering insights on business know-how, and addressing societal questions. The interviews are compiled into books that are passed on to the next generation.

Participants in the project have the opportunity to discover their future goals, learn essential communication skills for business, and gain other practical know-how that will be useful when they enter society. By publishing these learnings into books, the project aims to prevent youth suicides by sharing knowledge with the next generation and others, ultimately assisting them in making informed choices for the future.

By 2020, the project had conducted interviews with over 100 experts and published books based on those interviews.
