Invited by Miyazaki Prefecture and Miyazaki city, transcosmos opened its first operations center in the prefecture that focuses on providing contact center services in November, 2011. Today, the company employs approximately 750 members in the prefecture. transcosmos made the donation to demonstrate its commitment supporting the city and the prefecture’s initiatives in the community where many of transcosmos employees live and work, and to express its gratitude to the local governments for supporting its business over the years.
The donation will be used for the “Scholarship Repayment Support Project for the Creation of HINATA,” a project run by Miyazaki Prefecture, the prefecture known as Japan’s HINATA, or Japan’s sunny place. The Scholarship Repayment Support Project for the Creation of HINATA is designed to encourage young generations and other local citizens to work and stay in the prefecture by providing financial support for expenses related to the repayment of scholarships to young adults and other eligible persons who will join local companies designated by the prefecture. Against the backdrop where declining population in rural areas is becoming a serious problem, Miyazaki Prefecture aims to stimulate the prefecture’s economy through this program.
