A Year-long Program To Learn What Working Is Like.
日本語 / ENGLISH
Job Rehearsal (ジョブリハ) provides high school students living under social care with a year-long program consisting of lectures, skills training and on-the-job-training in actual working settings.
This program is intended to lower the barriers these children face when they leave social care by letting them rehearse in actual working environment beforehand.
Aim of Job Rehersal
Bring the children’s potential and possible difficulties to the surface before they start living on their own.
- The potential and difficulties of a child tend to surface only when they move from day-to-day life settings into an actual working environment.
- If we could spot a possible difficulty a child has before he/she leaves social care, the child him-/herself and the care workers are given more time and options to tackle that.
Gain experience in the process of finding and solving problems at work.
- There has been countless manners classes and occupational learning events which last for not more than several hours. While each of those events has some value, combining all those lectures into a year-long systematic curriculum should significantly expand the learning opportunity.
Re-evaluate oneself from the perspective of working.
- Many children living in children’s homes need to save money to prepare for their independence after leaving, so they have no choice but to prioritize pursuing higher wage over pursuing social experience.
- Many children living in children’s homes lack the opportunity to hear about what working is like from their parents and relatives.
Eligibility: High school students living in children’s homes and households of foster parents.
- Children’s homes choose the child to participate based on the prospective of attending all the sessions throughout the year. A briefing session for children’s home staffs are held beforehand.
- Lights On Children is making sure every child and children’s home participating understands that Job Rehearsal is not intended to get the children employed by our partner companies.
- Participation can be extended to the second or third year.
Supervisors: The employees of the partner companies
- Employees of the partner companies take the part as Job Rehearsal’s supervisor. They teach the participating children about their industry, their usual work and what is worthwhile about their jobs.

Programming Jobs
In the second edition of Job Rehearsal,
we are joined by Koto-no-kyoso Lab (コトの共創ラボ) to
provide a year-long course on programming skills.
Programmer
A "programming job" might sound like a high bar to you, but programming or IT in general has a lot of "sober" aspects, and much of the programmer's work is unnoticed by the public.
The essence of programming is not a genius idea coming out from a flash of inspiration. It is the perspective of what lies a few steps ahead, and an honest effort to advance in a bit-by-bit manner.
Don't worry if you don't have much experience in handling a computer until now. We will try to make the program enjoyable for high schoolers, so please join us if you have the slightest interest in programming.
