The goal of this paper is to propose ways to secure greater employment opportunities for high school graduates by identifying the characteristics of companies that actively employ high school graduates in Japan through a quantitative approach using data from questionnaires sent to firms. The paper found that successful companies, small - scale companies, and firms in the manufacturing, restaurant and hotel sectors actively hire high school graduates. Furthermore, companies with routine tasks that could be performed by high school graduates also employ them. However, companies that hire high - school graduates are not the only companies that expect them to perform routine works. Companies which understand that training workers from a young age is necessary to foster firm specific skills and to provide the benefits of long - term training - such as the establishment of a personnel development system - also hire high school graduates. The paper further found that a consecutive employment arrangement with high schools allows companies to secure high - quality personnel. Identifying the advantages of the long - term training of high school graduates, and clarifying the kind of work that requires this type of personnel training as well as helping companies become aware of the merit of the long - term training is a key to the increasing employment opportunities for high school graduates. Enhancing the abilities of high school graduates is thus considered effective in increasing job opportunities for them. Furthermore, in order to secure employment opportunities for high school graduates, it will become necessary to revise Japan’s unique systems of school - to - work transition, which characterize the coordinated function of schools and employers in allocating students into jobs.
