Uchida Human Development

What Uchida Human Development does

Uchida Human Development Co., Ltd. (株式会社ウチダ人材開発センタ) is a Japanese corporate training and ICT staffing services provider headquartered in Sumida-ku, Tokyo, with a regional office in Osaka. Established in its current form in 1996 as a 100% subsidiary of Uchida Yoko (株式会社内田洋行), a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed office equipment and IT solutions company, the firm operates a dual business model spanning training services (corporate DX talent development, new employee onboarding, IT certification programs, e-learning delivery) and human resource services (ICT support staff dispatch to schools and universities, fee-based employment placement). Its largest segment is ICT coordinator dispatch to educational institutions, supporting Japan's GIGA School Program by supplying qualified IT support personnel to schools across multiple prefectures. The company serves enterprise clients across IT services, finance, construction, and consulting industries, with named customers including Takenaka Corporation, Resona Bank, SCSK, CTC Technology, and Japan TCS.

UHD's proprietary technology stack centers on four branded platforms: LM SQUARE, a learning management system (LMS) that centralizes training delivery, progress tracking, and program administration; i-Soku (i測), an IT/DX level measurement and skill visualization service; CloudCerts, a digital credentialing platform for secure electronic certificate issuance; and a CBT (Computer-Based Testing) service for exam lifecycle management. The firm is an authorized Microsoft Learning Partner and CompTIA Authorized Partner, enabling delivery of official certification curricula (A+, Network+, Security+, Server+, Project+, Microsoft Power Platform, Azure). It also achieved iCD (i Competency Dictionary) compliance certification and iCD Implementation Company Silver status, aligning its Uchida College new-employee programs with the iCD competency framework adopted across Japanese enterprise and government training.

UHD's go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (largely driven by Uchida Yoko group referrals), open-enrollment public courses at its Ryogoku training center and via webinar delivery, and a nationwide dispatch network for ICT coordinators. Pricing is per-course for open enrollment (¥40,000–¥126,000+ per participant depending on duration) and project/contract-based for corporate custom programs. Revenue is generated across four streams: training/consulting (one-time per-participant or project-based fees), staffing and dispatch (managed-service-style placement fees, the largest revenue line), fee-based employment introduction (transaction fees), and outsourcing services. FY2025 (July 2025 term) revenue was ¥3.9 billion. The company holds Privacy Mark (since 2007), ISO 29993, Eruboshi 3-star (2021), and Kurumin (2025) certifications, and serves as the development entity for JSA-S1010, the Japanese national standard for ICT support services in schools (originally :2021, updated to :2025).
