Major staffing agency Pasona Group Inc. is offering 100 jobs to single parents with children of elementary school age or younger at its new headquarters on Awajishima island in Hyogo Prefecture.
The company decided to expand its program that started in August last year to employ single mothers who are struggling to find jobs amid the COVID-19 crisis. Eight single mothers have joined Pasona under that program as of mid-June.
The expanded program, which will offer permanent positions and contract work regardless of age and gender, is also aimed at getting more people to relocate to Awajishima.
