Currently, in Japan’s e-commerce sector, training staff for for areas such as internet shopping malls, net shops, designers, creators, photography, accepting orders, picking, and delivery has become an urgent task due to its rapid growth. However, there is an overwhelming shortage of personnel to train staff.
Even when e-commerce is done as an enterprise, the number of talented people with expert knowledge of all of the associated duties are extremely few in number at present, and when e-commerce is done internally, it has become difficult to hire managerial class and store manager class employees right away.
Managers of well-known net shops or EC consultants for malls are extremely busy, so while they are capable of giving lectures or seminars on certain areas, conditions are extremely severe when it comes to comprehensive training.
E-commerce itself is expected to continue to grow going forward. For this reason, we are building an association to develop EC consultants in order to train the staff that support e-commerce, which will allow them to learn systematically not only the consulting business, but also the know-how required for EC management.
In the current circumstances, the majority of superior EC consultants are working as individuals even now, but there is a need for organization to enable the development of excellent EC consultants, and a duty to share EC know-how with ever more people has arisen.
JECCICA works to protect the retail sector and contribute to the growth of Japan’s economy through the expansion of e-commerce in Japan.
