INDEX

A comprehensive support system enables you to make the best choice

At the Career Support Center, we provide detailed support for a wide variety of career paths, regardless of whether you are a current student or a graduate.
Rather than providing step-by-step support, we aim to support people by providing knowledge and experience so that they can explore independently and make the "best choice" from a variety of options.

Career support policy

From the time of enrollment to after graduation, we have established a counseling system regarding employment, further education, and overall career, and provide detailed advice and information according to each individual's situation.
To help students imagine what it would be like to work, we actively provide industry and job research programs, including actual workplace experience (internships) and consultation with working adults (working adult mentoring system).
We provide a variety of comprehensive job-hunting support courses so that you can acquire the knowledge and manners necessary for job-hunting, as well as the ability to express yourself correctly.
We will develop job openings through company visits, etc., and provide students with high-quality job openings that are appropriate for our students.
In cooperation with the government (including Hello Work), we will build a system to support employees until they are hired, even in difficult employment environments.

Programme

Individual interview/writing support

We accept over 1 reservations for individual consultations for corrections, mock interviews, and consultations for all students every year. We also accept walk-in consultations without prior reservations, which many students use to help with their job hunting. Experienced career counselors are always on-site at the center. They will listen to the concerns of each student and provide personal advice. We have established a system to provide thorough support tailored to each individual's activities, from self-analysis and industry research methods, how to write resumes and application forms, to corrections and interview preparation, and we have established a support system not only in person but also online.

Programme

Internship

Internships are mainly conducted during the summer vacation period, and students gain work experience at companies and government offices. By learning about the real world while still enrolled and thinking about their role in society, internships are a valuable opportunity to foresee their future and future paths. Our university provides information to students from an early stage, and supports them in making sure they make the right career choices.
The course is primarily aimed at second and third year students and is recognized as a general education course credit.

Providing a wealth of information

Through Job Navigation and our website for current students, we provide a wealth of information, including job offer reports from graduates and a list of alumni, as well as job information received by our university.
In their third year at university, when job hunting begins, students are given a "Career Guidebook" that can be used throughout the two years of their job hunting activities, as an introduction to deepening their understanding.
In addition, we collect information from outside the university through the library and reference room in the Career Support Center and share it with students.

Support for further education

Our university not only supports employment but also supports continuing education as a career choice.
The library in the center provides information on various entrance exams, with a focus on graduate school information. Mock interviews, corrections, and writing support are also available for those preparing for graduate school entrance exams.

Career Information Center

In the reference room on the lower floor of the Career Support Center (1nd floor circular hall in Building 2), you can view posters of information sessions, seminars, events, etc. sent to the university by external companies, and gather a wealth of information. You are free to enter and leave the room.

Interview booth

The booths where individual interviews are conducted are private rooms, so you can consult without worrying about those around you.
We have created an environment where consultations are easy to undertake in an open space with seating arrangements that respect privacy.

Private booth

Given that company information sessions, recruitment interviews, and job hunting interviews are increasingly being held online, we have set up "private booths" so that candidates can take part in the selection process in a quiet environment with peace of mind.
