The work of engineers is currently being redefined in these and other ways.
In addition, the outsourcing and multi-tiered subcontracting structure that is characteristic of Japan and is centered around system integrators is also expected to undergo major changes in business flows due to the rise of AI.
Simultaneous occurrence of engineer shortage and surplus
It is expected that Japan will experience both a shortage of engineers and an surplus of engineers at the same time.
The shortage of highly skilled IT personnel will continue to be a serious issue. On the other hand, traditional IT personnel, who make up the majority of Japanese engineers, are at risk of having their work replaced by AI, except for some legacy projects, and reskilling is urgently needed.
Amoibe OJT: Engineer training service for the AI era
amoibe OJT is an engineer training service for corporations. It reproduces work processes and technologies that new employees are learning in a virtual environment, and supports them in acquiring skills in a manner similar to practical experience with the help of AI and human mentors. Since its release in 2024, it has been rapidly adopted by major SIers, SES, and dispatch companies, and there have been many cases of high ROI, such as increased unit prices after taking the course, elimination of waiting lists, and successful reskilling.
Engineer training initiative for the AI era
Since the launch of the service, amoibe OJT has been offering courses incorporating the use of AI/LLM. Following the news of the leading companies mentioned above, we have recently seen an accelerated increase in inquiries about training engineers who can thrive in the era of the rise of AI.
Therefore, we have launched the “AI Era Engineer Training Initiative” and are renewing our course requirements. We will do our utmost to support all engineers, whether they work for user companies or vendors, so that they can adapt to changes in the future.
