Career support at Utsunomiya Campus

We support with a detailed backup system that is integrated throughout the university.

Office of Student Support Career Support Section (Utsunomiya Campus)

At Utsunomiya Campus, faculty and staff work together to support students' job-hunting activities from various angles.
In "Career Education," as part of the regular curriculum, students deepen their self-understanding and understanding of various professions from their second year, and in their third year, the curriculum is designed to improve their professional awareness and develop fundamental skills for working adults, enabling them to become socially and professionally independent with a view to their careers after graduation. In "Job Hunting Support," career guidance sessions, including roundtables with company representatives, are held from the second year to foster an awareness of employment, and from the third year onwards, in addition to four career guidance sessions per year that cover the essentials of job hunting, a variety of support courses are offered to enhance practical job hunting skills, including preparation for written exams, to help students smoothly proceed with their job hunting preparations. Furthermore, faculty and staff work together to provide a detailed support system that is tailored to each student's needs.

Features of career support

Employment support system in which teachers and staff cooperate

The "Employment Committee," comprised of faculty members from each department and staff from the Career Support Office, plays a central role in supporting students' job-hunting activities. Furthermore, close collaboration between faculty and staff allows for continuous monitoring of students' job-hunting progress, enabling appropriate support tailored to each student's individual circumstances.

Holding career guidance and various courses

From September of their second year, students participate in two guidance sessions, including roundtable discussions with company representatives, to foster their awareness of employment. From April of their third year, students receive four career guidance sessions throughout the year, aligned with the job hunting process, and receive job support courses that help them acquire the necessary skills for job hunting, from preparation to practical application. In addition, we hold "on-campus joint company seminars" and "on-campus individual company information sessions" inviting HR recruiters to provide opportunities for students to connect with companies.

Collaboration with Hachioji Campus

We share information such as the personnel needs obtained from interviews with company recruiters with the Hachioji Career Support Center, and provide support in collaboration with other campuses.

Career Support Room

The Career Support Room is equipped with company information sessions, internship information, and job-related books and materials. We also offer individual consultations with career advisors, providing a comfortable environment for students to seek advice with both a casual open space and private consultation booths.

Employment support system for international students

We offer job-hunting support seminars and individual guidance for students who wish to find employment in Japan. Furthermore, we are a member of the Japan International Student Support Network, a general incorporated association, and have established a system to provide recruitment information from Japanese companies.
