How the group fits together

An education group
with its own technology.

XY Group runs schools and career support for international students in Japan. XY, K.K. sits at its core: it builds the technology every group business runs on, and brings what works there to schools beyond the group.

Schools and careers

Schools and career support for international students

More than 4,000 international students a year study at the group's Japanese language schools and vocational colleges, and CCC — licensed for worker dispatch and job placement — helps them start careers in Japan. Every day, the group is also a real-world proving ground for our technology.

Technology

Systems for the whole group, and beyond it

XY, K.K. builds and runs the systems for every group business and leads its AI transformation (AX) and digital transformation (DX). What works becomes product — Compass, our student application and management system, and chinichi-OS — offered with our AI implementation work to educational institutions beyond the group.
