This study aimed to clarify the awareness of supporters belonging to employment transition support centers regarding self-improvement. An online survey was conducted for all 4096 employment transition support centers in Japan. The survey items included basic information, awareness of self-improvement, attitudes toward self-improvement, availability for self-improvement, and preferred training methods. While supporters recognized the benefits and interest of training, they also felt temporal and financial constraints in engaging in self-improvement. Supporters most preferred online training methods. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between the perceived benefits and interest of training and the preference for face-to-face training methods. Work supporters recognized the necessity of self-improvement but were found to be in a state where they lacked the temporal and financial resources. It was also suggested that there is a high preference for online training. To promote further self-improvement among work supporters, it is necessary to enhance opportunities for self-improvement that are not constrained by time or location, and a mixed format of online and face-to-face training was considered effective.
