FY2026 Skill-Up Support Program

This Tokyo metropolitan program supports mid-to-small enterprises with subsidies covering part of employee skill development training expenses, offering three distinct subsidy types tailored to different training approaches and objectives. Eligible entities include SMEs in Tokyo across all industries with no employee count restrictions, making it accessible to businesses of various scales and sectors. Training costs are partially covered through subsidies; specific subsidy caps and rates are detailed on each subsidy program's dedicated webpage. Applications must be submitted one month before the scheduled training start date, with the application acceptance period running from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027. Early consultation with the Tokyo Employment Environment Organizing Association (公益財団法人東京しごと財団) is critical due to first-come-first-served allocation within budget constraints.
