At COVER, under the mission of “Together, Let’s Create Culture Loved by All,” we have been committed since 2022 to hiring and nurturing new graduates who will help shape the future, leading the way for a new era of entertainment.
The very first step for new graduates, and the foundation for all the work they’ll take on in the future, is our New Graduate Training Program. It’s designed not only to build the essential skills needed as an employee, but also to instill a mindset for driving the business forward and a perspective for enhancing one’s own market value. It brings together all the key elements for growth.
So, what kind of training did the 13 new graduates who joined us in 2025 experience? We sat down with Akinori Hayamizu from the Human Resources Planning Team in the Human Resources Division, Human Resources Department, the key individual behind the program, to learn more about its details and the vision behind it.
Sounds like a pretty good deal. Many things mentioned here are basic but important knowledge, useful in any workplace - it’s a pretty responsible way to handle new hires, doubly so for graduates. Things like this make me thing Cover is trying hard to build for a long run, which is nice.
While I hate corporate environment, I wish I had access to training like this in any of the jobs I had to be a part of. It would definitely make things easier for my mental health and approach to professional world.
