[Seminar Announcement: HR x HR Dialogue] In the AI Era, What Should We Prepare Our Children For? A Foreign-Affiliated HR Professional Reveals 'The Skills Looked For in Hiring'

Hello. This is the NEXT2035 editorial department.

We are announcing our next seminar!

23rd Session: Sunday, March 1, 2026, 20:00-21:00
"Raising Children Who Can Work Happily in the AI Era"
Speaker: Yumika Elizabeth Fujiwara (Foreign-Affiliated HR)
Held via Zoom (Free, first-come-first-served basis)

This time, I would like to introduce the highlights of the seminar, incorporating the reality of "the skills required in the AI era" that emerged during our preliminary meeting with Ms. Fujiwara.

Now, when there is too much information and we are lost.
A one-hour session to clarify the "necessary skills" from a hiring perspective

As the topic of AI increases, so do the concerns for parents.
But at the same time, there is too much information—

"In the end, what should I prioritize?"
"English? Programming? Certifications? Or other skills?"
"What does it actually mean to 'not lose to AI'?"

It is not uncommon for anxiety to take the lead in this way.

In this seminar, to untangle that "confusion," we will ask questions from the hiring perspective. Ms. Fujiwara, who works in a global organization of a foreign-affiliated company and is on the front lines of working with AI, will share
the type of talent that is currently valued in hiring and evaluation settings not as an abstract theory, but concretely.

What we want you to be left with after listening is:
"Then, for my child, let's start by nurturing this."
"As a parent, let's organize this."
You should be able to feel like you have decided on your next move.

Speaker Introduction

Yumika Elizabeth Fujiwara (Foreign-Affiliated HR)

With roots in Japan and Peru, she currently works as a Sr. HR Business Partner in the IT department of a global organization at a foreign-affiliated company.
She continues to question the potential of organizations and people on the front lines of working with AI.

She has extensive experience in various industries such as retail, entertainment, and construction, in areas including talent strategy, employee engagement, and cross-cultural management.

"Blending career and child-rearing in my own way"
She is a practitioner struggling every day while searching for the "just right relationship" between technology and humanity in an era of change.

This time, it will be deep because it is a "dialogue."
HR in the field x HR in the field

Talks about AI tend to become abstract.
"Creativity will be important from now on," "Humanity is important"—that is also correct.
However, what we want to know as parents is one step further,

Isn't that the "concrete"?

This seminar will be delivered in a dialogue format. We will be joined by Yumika Elizabeth Fujiwara, who is on the front lines of working with AI as an HR professional at a foreign-affiliated company, and our moderator, Chikako Dean, who has many years of experience in the field of HR.

Because they share the same perspective on 'hiring and development,' the discussion won't just stay in the realm of abstract theory; you will hear about the 'real current state' of what skills are valued today.

While our moderator, Chikako, creates a 'safe space to talk,' she will draw out Fujiwara-san's insights from the field.
Even during our pre-meeting, Fujiwara-san's words became increasingly concrete, and I felt a natural accumulation of 'that's exactly what I wanted to hear' moments.

On the day of the seminar, we will move beyond superficial talk and have a dialogue that digs deep into 'what really matters' from the perspective of the hiring side.

💡Recommended for those who:

• Are anxious about the AI era and want to organize 'what they should prepare' for their children's future

• Want to adopt a mindset as a parent and child where AI is not an enemy, but a 'partner to be used'

• Want to cultivate a 'foundation for continuous growth' at home, such as the ability to keep learning and the ability to scrutinize information
