Are you smoothly acquiring units such as CPDS and CPD? KF and Isabou Net are here to assist everyone in the construction and civil engineering industry with obtaining their units!

K&F Corporation and Isabou Net are jointly holding the "K&i Web Academy" (hereinafter referred to as the joint webinar) regularly to support everyone in obtaining CPDS and CPD credits. **Background of the Webinar Business** For civil engineering and construction contractors, it may be required to obtain credits for continuing education as part of the qualification application review for bidding by various regional development bureaus of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, as well as some prefectures and municipalities. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, seminars and events that gather people have been canceled or held on a smaller scale. In response to this situation, K&F Corporation has decided to promote the webinar business "KF College" to help those in the construction and civil engineering industry efficiently obtain credits through webinars. Since August 2021, in collaboration with Isabou Net, operated by Godai Development Corporation, we have been hosting various learning webinars aimed at obtaining CPDS and CPD credits for everyone involved in the civil engineering and construction industry, offering webinars that can be attended with reduced costs and time even in the with-COVID era.

On Monday, September 22, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for October to December. Due to the continued influence of conditions similar to the La Niña phenomenon until around December, the westerly winds are expected to flow more to the north than usual from October to early November, making it likely that warm air will cover the entire country. From late November to December, the westerly winds are expected to meander southward near Japan, and there may be periods when the winter pressure pattern strengthens. In December, the region is likely to be affected by cold air, and temperatures in western and eastern Japan are expected to be around or lower than the average for the season.
