【PDP】Seminar on “University Globalization: Actions From Universities”

教育関係共同利用拠点提供プログラム 　キャリア教育 W-03

The first Seminar on the same topic tried to identify the root causes of the current weak Japan by focusing on the differences between “Japanese university education and employment systems” and those in other countries. The purpose of this second Seminar is to identify and propose “Actions From Universities” to solve the problems identified. For example, one of the potential root causes that we identified is that most Japanese graduates do not have a significant skill-set to present at a job interview. In countries other than Japan, the skills that university graduates can claim include those attained from graduation projects or internships they have done. In contrast, the job interview process in Japan normally begins a year or more prior to graduation, so students cannot claim a skill attained from a graduation project. Further, since internships are often only a week or two long, it is difficult to attain any significant skill. As a result, most companies tend to train new employees for 6 months to one year in-house. This “no significant skill when hired” negatively affects companies’ global competitiveness and is a contributing factor to some newly hired people quitting after a short time. Through this Seminar, we want to consider and discuss such problems and what we can do to solve them so that Japan can continue to be a world leader.
