A company informational session is an event where a company explains what kind of company it is as part of the company’s recruiting activities.
At company informational sessions, participants can directly ask individuals representing the company on the latest information that is not given on the company’s website.
Attending company informational sessions is absolutely essential when performing research on companies.
There are cases where a company will hold its own independent event, as well as cases where multiple companies hold a joint event (joint multi-company informational sessions).
For most companies, these company informational sessions are held from March through April.

The Hiroshima Center for International Students has been commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to conduct this program, which aims to deepen the understanding that international students have on job search methods and on industries and companies in Japan, while also expanding the range of employment opportunities for international students.

Such events allow participants to receive explanations from a large number of companies in a single day.
