As natural disasters occur more frequently worldwide, there is a strong need to develop human resource education programs to help regenerate local communities after a disaster. In this study, we describe an approach to reorganizing the Entrepreneurship Development Project for Leading the Construction of a Resilient Society (2019-2021)—developed and implemented under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Next Generation Human Resources Development Project (EDGE-NEXT) in Japan—into a fieldwork program with technical transfer to disaster-prone countries, presenting the hypothesis of a "Resilience Fieldwork Program Overseas," developed through a three-step process. The three steps are: 1) extracting the concept of resilience used in different countries and identifying the characteristics of crisis response policies for natural disasters through the Survey and Analysis of Energy Resilience (2020); 2) aligning global trends in addressing climate change risks with domestic next-generation industrial policies; and 3) selecting fieldwork sites by integrating insights obtained from the above two methodologies. Three conditions should be considered when selecting fieldwork sites: 1) the country or region should have similarities to disaster-affected situations in Japan, allowing for a straightforward technology transfer of the disaster recovery process; 2) there must be institutions that align with the Sendai Framework's concept of resilience and have experience in implementing international cooperation projects; 3) there should be local companies and organizations focused on climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the formation of a circular economy, with an environment conducive to partnerships with start-ups. The Resilient Entrepreneurial Industry Creation Model in Japan and other countries is an approach to building fieldwork-based educational programs in selected countries and regions, where business is conducted in industrial fields derived after meeting these conditions. This model will be restructured into a highly effective educational program in collaboration with academic institutions and cooperating companies in the host country, following verification through field research.
