Career bridge

Career Bridge Inc. is a Japanese firm that provides career counseling and organizational consulting services. Founded in April 2015 by Yasushi Ishikawa, the company aims to create a society where everyone can be active, a concept it refers to as social inclusion, by using IT and dialogue. The establishment of the business was influenced by Ishikawa's own positive experience with counseling, which helped him overcome professional challenges. He now holds a qualification as an industrial counselor.

The company serves both corporate and individual clients. For businesses, it offers services to help visualize organizational status and solve issues, including mental health diagnostics and career counseling for employees. Its "SMART CAREER" service is a key offering in this area. For individuals, Career Bridge provides counseling to help people design a career that aligns with their identity, fostering a proactive approach to their professional lives. The firm also developed "Kyari-sushi," an aptitude diagnosis app for the IT industry that utilizes the Big Five personality traits theory.

Career Bridge operates on a mission to make organizational challenges visible, support organizations and individuals through expert guidance, and create an infrastructure where counselors can thrive. The business model involves providing these counseling and consulting services, likely on a contractual or subscription basis, alongside its digital product offerings.
