Today Domo (Nasdaq: DOMO) announced that it and customer Cosmo
Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. (Cosmo) partnered on an educational
program to nurture skilled digital transformation (DX) talent in
Japan. Cosmo conducted a one-month internship program for Shiga
University students, following workshops and presentations led by
Cosmo and Domo data experts, and concluded the program with a
debriefing session discussing Cosmo's DX initiatives, at its Tokyo
headquarters on November 30.
This educational program with Shiga University began in July,
with a lecture focused on the importance of data literacy for all
students, a three-day in-person workshop using Domo’s cloud-based
data experience platform, and the month-long internship learning to
put data to work with Domo.
As an early adopter of digital transformation initiatives, Cosmo
is developing industry-leading initiatives to solve critical
business issues with data and is committed to fostering a
data-driven culture across its organization. The company first
launched its Corporate DX Strategy Department in 2021, and in March
2023, the company announced its goal to increase the number of
data-enabled employees to 900 by 2025.
Through this industry-academia collaboration with Shiga
University and Domo, Cosmo aims to attract students into the data
science industry as well as contribute to society by supporting
activities that can help respond to the shortage of skilled DX
talent, which has become an issue in Japan.
"It has been eye opening to discuss the DX issues we face here
at Cosmo with the students from Shiga University, which is a
leading institution in the field of data science education. We hope
this educational program will help foster the development of human
resources professionals who are attuned to the issues Japan’s
digitized society needs to tackle. We also hope that this program
will encourage students who aspire to become DX professionals to
take an interest in our company,” said Noriko Rzonca, Managing
Executive Officer and CDO, Cosmo Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.
“Shiga University is the first university in Japan to establish
a Data Science department. As an institution committed to the
highest standards for training full-fledged data scientists, both
in terms of the quality and scale of our faculty, we have focused
on the development of digital human resources skills to lead us
into Japan’s 5.0 era. We are honored to have the opportunity to
improve our students’ digital skills through the informative
program developed by Cosmo and Domo, two of Japan’s leading data
organizations, and we will continue to actively develop
partnerships with the businesses across the country to contribute
to the development of human resources in this digital age,” said
Masayuki Susai, Executive Director Vice President of Shiga
University.
"In the midst of a shortage of skilled DX talent, at Domo, we
believe it’s incredibly important to nurture data curiosity in the
future workforce. We are honored to be able to support this
educational program and Shiga University students through this
learning process. It has also been very encouraging to see the
impressive insights and results the Shiga University students have
been able to create with ease using Domo’s data experience
platform. I hope this is just the beginning of data curiosity for
students and just the first of many programs to expand data
literacy across businesses and institutions in Japan,” said Tom
Kawasaki, President and Country Manager, Domo Japan.
