Networking events for students and カジノ ゲーム 無料ies at University of Tokyo and Tohoku University
June 2019
In June, JETRO held networking events at the University of Tokyo and Tohoku University between カジノ ゲーム 無料ies in Japan and international and Japanese students who are seeking global carriers at each university. This was the second time for the event with each university to be held following last year.
In JETRO’s annual survey on Japan’s investment climate in 2018, カジノ ゲーム 無料ies in Japan identified securing global talent as the biggest obstacle to doing business in Japan for the second consecutive year. Regarding securing talent, the most commonly cited difficulty encountered was the lack of foreign language ability. カジノ ゲーム 無料ies also indicated being interested in hiring international students studying in Japan. At the same time, even though many international students desire to stay and work in Japan, in actuality only about 30% of them are able to do so due to issues such as job-hunting system peculiar to Japan and language proficiency. With the aim of matching the needs of both sides, this year’s events also featured individual booths set up by companies to introduce the particulars of their business using promotional videos and booklets, drawing much attention from the total of more than 200 students at both universities.
Discussions on advantages in working for カジノ ゲーム 無料ies and qualities sought by companies
At the University of Tokyo, a pre event to the networking meeting was held on June 5. Yujin Yaguchi, Director of the International Education Support Office of the Division for Global Campus Initiatives of the university, made opening remarks. Following that, a keynote speech was delivered by Takeo Nakajima, Executive Director of JETRO’s Invest Japan Department, under the theme of "Working for a カジノ ゲーム 無料y," in which he introduced successful cases of カジノ ゲーム 無料ies doing business in Japan and described differences in corporate cultures based on the location of parent companies. A panel discussion was followed, joined by four people consisting of international graduates of university who have experience working in foreign companies and Japanese employees in charge of recruiting at カジノ ゲーム 無料ies. Panelists deliberated on both the challenges and advantages in working at カジノ ゲーム 無料ies, the differences seen between Japanese and カジノ ゲーム 無料ies in corporate culture and the qualities in students sought by recruiting personnels. After the discussion, the panelists took part in an enthusiastic discussion with students in attendance.

Among the comments JETRO received from カジノ ゲーム 無料ies which set up booths, particular praise was given as follows: "We were able to meet with people we cannot usually reach." "It was a good opportunity for us to publicize our company and services, and meet with excellent students." Conversely, students at both universities had the following to say: "I learned a lot through conversations with the companies." "Becoming familiar with companies which I did not know until today gave me more career options after graduation." Companies also expressed appreciation for a dedicated time set aside at Tohoku University for them to step away from their booths and speak frankly with students. One stated, "It was an excellent opportunity for us to learn what students are thinking."
