A wild idea: If we tweaked the Construction Career Up System (CCUS) card a bit more, wouldn't it become a card that people actually use?

2023/09/25

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

CCUS Level-Up Concept

Are you using the Construction Career Up System (CCUS)?

We haven't used it yet, lol.

 

Well, that's fine as it is, but I'd like it to be a more useful card, so how can I make it more useful?

I gave it some thought.

Just on my own, lol

 

To enable the use of the CCUS card

1. Plug it into the ETC to use it

2. Can be used at train stations just like a Suica card (so you can add money to it)

3. Payment at a convenience store (where you can make a deposit)

4. Certified Matchmaking Service for the Construction Industry

5. Business Card Information (If you link it to your cell phone, the information will be sent to the other person)

6. Construction-Related Party Certification

7. CPDS Certification (Awarded)

8. Convert the Construction Workers' Retirement Allowance Fund to a points system so that workers can use it starting the very day they begin work (advance on retirement benefits)

9. Linking to a Credit Card

10. Service Certification Exclusively for the Construction Industry

 

Wouldn't it be handy if the card worked like that?

Sure, there are probably all sorts of issues, like security and whatnot, but,

This is the only card on the market today specifically designed for the construction industry!

CCUS

I wouldn't use it unless it were that unique and specialized of a card.

I'm sure there are lots of even better ideas out there if I ask around!

It would be pretty funny if an interesting idea came out of some self-serving small talk and actually got adopted, lol.

 

Now that I've registered with CCUS and paid the fee, I'd like to move forward and make sure I can actually use it.

What do you all think?

 

See you later

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites.

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta.

Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…
