―Nurturing Human Resources who will Spearhead the Future of the Health and Fitness Industry

Konami Sports Club Co., Ltd. will launch an industry-academic project in April 2018, designed to nurture human resources in the health and fitness industry through a 'Sports Trainer Course' developed by the Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Physical Education at International Pacific University.

The Sports Trainer Course will be an elective course available to third year students (April 2020) and above, where the Company will send its employees to the university as guest lecturers to give special lectures directly linked to the real business world. The course will focus on practical learning through a long-term internship, with the goal of developing sports trainers with extensive knowledge and expertise.

Since its foundation in 2007, International Pacific University has strived to nurture human resources needed by the society through education with the focus on hands-on learning and practical exercise. With three faculties and five departments, the university sets its sights on the 'Fusion of Education and Sports' as its educational philosophy.

Konami Sports Club Co., Ltd. will continue to make efforts to nurture human resources who will spearhead the future of the health and fitness industry through its industry-academic partnership with International Pacific University.
