Career Development Step
Do not fret about your career alone. Seek advice from many different people!
Careers Department at SHOKEI GAKUIN UNIVERSITY advises students about their career after graduation in an informal setting. Students in 4th Year are assisted by career guidance counselors assigned to each department. Most of these career guidance counselors possess relevant qualifications. These counselors will continue to support students until graduation. In addition, throughout the year, SGU invites consultants from Hello Work (Public Employment Security Office) to campus to offer advice to students.
Career advancement seminars and job-search orientations to benefit students’ job-search activities
These events are held throughout the year for students in 3rd Year and above, to equip them with more practical methods and techniques to use in their search for employment after graduation. In addition to industry and company studies, students will acquire useful job-search skills by practicing how to write a resume and act in interviews, as well as group discussion practice.
On-campus company information sessions
These information sessions are held throughout the year. They are a valuable opportunity to meet people from various companies on campus. Many students have obtained job offers through these sessions. Although these information sessions mainly target 4th Year students, they are also open to any students who are interested, giving students the opportunity to think about their future career from an early stage.
Roundtables with graduates
Students can sit with their predecessors who are now employed and hear directly from them about their own job search experiences while they were at university, about the kind of work they are doing now, and about what they find most rewarding. The advice that current students receive from their predecessors who are actively working in society will be of great benefit not only for their own job searches, but also for thinking about their career path and future.
Debrief meetings by 4th Year students who have received job offers
The detailed stories told by seniors who had been conducting job searches until very recently about their experiences, including pointers for self-analysis and for how to conduct oneself in job interviews, offer valuable information for 3rd Year students who are about to embark on their own search for employment.
Consider your aptitude for a job and your future career design through Internship
Internship is a system in which students undertake work experience related to their majors and future careers at companies and other organizations while still at university. SGU offers internships as a subject, in which students who want to undertake internships can choose from a diverse range of organizations in the private and public sectors. SGU has also offered an overseas work experience program since 2013. Both of these programs are eligible for credit recognition.
