These events provide a space in which participants can network and share information in a casual atmosphere, with the aim of deepening the mutual understanding between international students who wish to work in Hiroshima, as well as the rest of Japan, and local companies that are interested in recruiting global talent.
In these relatively small-scale networking events, international student alumni members who found employment in Japan share their experiences with current international students involving such things as the difficult rules they faced during their job search in Japan, and they provide advice and answer questions given by the participating international students in their native language.
These are relatively large-scale networking events, and roughly 10 to 15 companies host exhibits at such events.
Participants can speak to the people in charge of hiring at companies for a variety of industries and can learn about such things as the details of the jobs they offer and the hiring conditions for international students.
Of the companies participating in seminars, networking events are held to allow those companies that are specifically interested in hiring international students to connect with international students.
