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.

This year's IT Implementation Subsidy has seen a significant decrease in the acceptance rate compared to previous years. Many companies are struggling with the situation of having wanted to implement IT tools but being rejected. In this seminar, we will explain why the acceptance rate has dropped, the background behind it, and the key points for being accepted. Additionally, we will introduce our initiatives that have achieved a 100% acceptance rate so far this year and the reasons why our production management system "TED," registered as an IT tool, is chosen.

Please choose your preferred method of participation according to your convenience. If you are currently considering applying for the IT Implementation Subsidy or are interested in production management, we encourage you to join us. We sincerely look forward to your application.
