    Fujitsu develops digital learning platform for JAL to support self-directed learning and training management

    Fujitsu Limited today announced that it has jointly developed a new digital learning platform with Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) to support educational training improvements at JAL’s airport sites. The platform, which leverages Fujitsu’s digital learning solution Advanced Teaming Experience Service powered by UMU, began full-scale operation in April 2025.

    Since the initial roll-out, approximately 15,000 employees across roughly 100 locations across the JAL Group have adopted this platform which enables staff to conduct preparatory and review work on their assigned tablet devices. Furthermore, it has significantly reduced the workload associated with managing training participation and certifications, thereby contributing to enhanced productivity among frontline staff.

    Fujitsu will continue to contribute to the JAL Group’s educational improvements through this platform. Furthermore, by applying the knowledge gained from this project, Fujitsu will continuously enhance Advanced Teaming Experience Service powered by UMU and actively promote its deployment not only in the aviation industry but also in other sectors requiring high safety standards and specialized expertise, such as manufacturing. Fujitsu remains committed to supporting organizations in maximizing the effectiveness of their educational improvements and human resource development initiatives by empowering their workforce through learning.
