Strengthening career support to best match students and companies
On Friday, February 8th, our university and Akita Prefecture signed an agreement regarding student employment support.
The purpose of this partnership is for our university and Akita Prefecture to cooperate and cooperate with each other to secure and develop the next generation of industry talent in the prefecture and to revitalize the region by holding employment support events run by companies in the prefecture and exchanging information. This is the eighth time that our university has concluded an agreement on employment support with a local government. By receiving company information and job hunting support from each of the partner prefectures for students, we will further promote U-turn and I-turn employment for students.
[Prefectures that collaborate with our university]
Fukushima Prefecture, Tochigi Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture, Nagano Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture
[Major collaborations and cooperation]
- Providing information about companies in the prefecture, daily life information, etc. to students
- Regarding holding corporate information events such as joint company information sessions held on campus
- Providing A-turn* information to students and parents
- Exchange of information regarding students' employment and understanding of their performance
- Support for accepting students for internships at companies within the prefecture
- Other matters related to promoting A-turn among students
*The name combines the "A" from All Turn and the "A" from Akita, with the hope that "everyone should come to Akita," including those who are looking to move to Akita for work.
As of February 2019, our university has strong ties with 791 companies that are proactive in recruiting and educating our students, calling them "CUC Alliance Companies." Since 2014, the government has promoted "regional revitalization," encouraging young people to settle in their hometowns and encouraging regional economic growth through job creation. Our university is keeping a close eye on these social issues, and in addition to alliance companies, we are promoting U-turn and I-turn employment to increase the number of job offers from companies in each prefecture, leading to improved career support services for students considering finding work in regional areas.
