SME Corporation Recruiting Students for 'SME Successor School' Long-Term Program
Succession Education to Address the Aging of Business Owners
The Small and Medium Business Corporation announced on July 12 that it will launch a new "2026 SME Successor School Long-Term Program" in order to address the aging of SME owners and support stable business succession. This program is an advanced educational course for next-generation successors.
The Small and Medium Business Corporation has been operating a short-term SME Successor School program since last year to improve the worsening aging trend among SMEs caused by a lack of young managerial talent. Based on high satisfaction with the lectures and strong field demand for next-generation successor education, the corporation has newly developed a long-term program this year by expanding and enhancing the existing short-term course.
This newly launched long-term program will operate as an elite course designed to support the continuity of SME management, featuring a more systematic curriculum and carefully selected instructors. Unlike the previous two-day short-term course, the long-term program will run for three months from September to November. To minimize work disruptions and maximize educational impact for participating SMEs, the Small and Medium Business Corporation has introduced a "hybrid online and offline lecture system."
In particular, this program will be operated as a "demand-driven feedback system," which not only reflects the trainees’ respective business sectors and the current status of their succession process, but also actively incorporates feedback from the field to fine-tune the final curriculum.
